Canadian Issuers Adopt US-Style Autocallable ETFs
What happened
Canadian issuers are beginning to adopt US-like ETF market structures. Autocallable ETFs, which are market-linked investments, provide regular coupon payments and aim to return principal if the underlying index remains above predetermined thresholds.

Why it matters
These products are growing rapidly in the U.S. because they meet investor demand for income alternatives to traditional fixed income and covered-call ETFs. The U.S. autocallable ETF market has grown to over US$5 billion in assets under management since the first products were launched.
TD Securities published a report detailing growth trends within the Canadian ETF market.
