Equities Held by Institutional Investors

Question

A student here is interested in determining the percentage or value of Canadian equities held by institutional investors (such as pension funds) as opposed to private investors. He would like these data over time, preferably since 1980, and preferably on a monthly basis (although quarterly or annual would suffice). Any ideas?

Answer

Please refer the client to CANSIM Table 378-0007 (National balance sheet accounts, book value, by sectors, at quarter end, quarterly) and CANSIM Table 378-0009 (National balance sheet accounts, market value, by sectors, at quarter end, quarterly). These tables should provide the detail necessary.
