Why $22 Billion Letko Brosseau is Bullish on Canada

Canada just slipped into a technical recession, stocks are sitting at record highs— and one renowned $22 billion firm is leaning in, not backing away. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Alex Letko, Portfolio Manager at LetkoBrosseau, explains why he remains bullish on Canada despite growing skepticism. While headlines point to slowing GDP, he argues the underlying economy is more resilient than it feels—supported by real wage growth and steady consumer spending. He also tackles a debate in the market right now: Canadian banks trading at record highs and premium valuations. Rather than calling it a bubble, he makes the case that strong earnings, oligopolistic structure, and potential pension fund inflows could continue to support the group.
