Continued Use of Embedded Trailers a Net Positive for Canadian Asset Managers
With both narrow-moat IGM Financial and CI Financial reporting earnings this week, we have a better sense of the impact the decision to not ban embedded commissions on the part of the Canadian regulators will have on the asset managers. Rather than eliminate the use of trailer fees, the Canadian Securities Administrators have proposed new rules for broker/dealers and financial advisors aimed at helping them address, and hopefully avoid, potential conflicts with their clients' best interests.
