Canadian Investors Prioritize Affordability, Inflation and Economic Resilience in New RIA Investor Pulse Check

Conducted as part of the Responsible Investment Research Initiative, the first Investor Pulse Check comes at a time of ongoing economic uncertainty and examines the factors having the greatest impact on investment decisions, investor understanding of responsible investing and the types of information Canadians value from financial advisors.

The findings, based on a survey of 1,001 Canadian investors, reveal that affordability and inflation are currently the factors having the greatest impact on investment decisions, followed by Canada’s economic resilience and global geopolitical uncertainty. Corporate accountability and governance, energy and infrastructure development and climate and environmental risks also remain important considerations for many investors.
