Investors poured money into exchange-traded funds focused on Canadian equities last week at a rate not seen in four years.

ETFs holding primarily Canadian stocks saw net inflows of C$2.5 billion ($1.8 billion) between April 7 and 11, the most since May 2021, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The surge comes after US President Donald Trump’s April 2 announcement of so-called reciprocal tariffs on 185 countries and territories.
