2026.08.1712:30:00UTC+00Canadian Investors Ramp Up Foreign Securities Buying to $35.43B in June

Canadians sharply increased their acquisitions of foreign securities in June 2026, with purchases rising to 35.430 billion CAD, up from 21.890 billion CAD in May 2026. The latest figures, updated on 17 August 2026, point to a significant acceleration in outbound portfolio investment over the month.

The June total marks a substantial month-on-month jump, suggesting heightened demand among Canadian investors for international diversification and exposure to overseas markets. While the data do not specify asset classes or destinations, the headline figure alone highlights a robust appetite for foreign securities as part of Canadians’ broader investment strategies.

The shift from May’s 21.890 billion CAD to June’s 35.430 billion CAD underscores how quickly cross‑border capital flows can adjust in response to evolving market conditions and expectations, making foreign securities a key channel through which Canadian investors respond to global financial developments.
