Over the past decade, Canadian mid and small-cap stocks have returned just 3-4% each year, while U.S. stocks have seen a 13% return annually. Opening infrastructure to investment is another way to encourage pension funds to invest more of their capital domestically.</p> Mon, 15 Jul 2024 18:08:14 +0000 arsh.prakash@mcgill.ca 1194523 at /desautels /desautels/channels/event/mcgill-fiam-asset-management-hackathon-357069 <h2>Developing the Next Generation of Finance Talent: Fusing Finance and Data Science, with Finance at the Forefront.</h2> Thu, 25 Apr 2024 18:20:14 +0000 john.sawaya@mcgill.ca 1130465 at /desautels
