As far as I can gather, Allianz of Germany does not own AGF Funds. AGF is a Canadian-owned independent mutual fund management company. I believe this reference in the table is in error.

You're right. There was some confusion relating to Allianz's ownership of Assurances Generales de France, which is also known as AGF. The table has been corrected.

Barclays Global Investors has at least $13B under management in Canada, including over $8B in Canada's largest fund, iShares XIU. Why don't they appear on the list? 70.73.4.197 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The ticker you noted is an exchange-traded fund (ETF), not a mutual fund. Barclays may also have mutual funds in Canada -- I'm not sure. If they do, they would be included in the $10.3 billion of non-reporting members. If you provide a link for their Canadian registered mutual fund balances as of Dec 31, and they are notable, then we can list them separately like we did for CI mutual funds (see footnote 2 in the article).

Exchanged Traded Funds *are* mutual funds, except they are traded on exchanges (such as the TSX), instead of through proprietary dealer networks. Therefore, the Barclays ETFs belong on the list. 70.73.4.197 14:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting point, although I think it is debatable. In Canada, for example, I don't believe that either that the IFIC or the MFDA consider ETFs in the definition of "mutual funds". Deet 21:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe what was being done here with this table was an accounting of OPEN-ended mutual fund assets as reported to the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) at www.ific.ca. My understanding is that CLOSED-ended funds traded on an exchange are not counted in the reporting to IFIC. In addition, at the very bottom of the table there is a link to a table for closed-ended funds. My final point as well is comparing "net sales" of open-ended mutual funds to those of closed-ended funds is not really possible. Closed-ended funds are launched with a certain number of shares outstanding. Each buy and sell on the market makes a net sale of 0. For an open-ended fund units are issued for every unit purchased and redeemed for every unit sold. Therefore, the net effect can be net sales or redemptions. They are different structures.

Acuity was acquired by AGF a few years back. See https://www.agf.com/static/en/about-agf/media-resource-centre/press-releases/2010-11-30-agf-management-limited-to-acquire-acuity.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.250.11.123 (talk) 18:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
