Jan 6, 2025 | advisor.ca | Maddie Johnson

The setup for Canadian equities is as compelling as it has been in years, says Craig Jerusalim, senior portfolio manager at CIBC Asset Management. Speaking on the latest episode of the Advisor to Go podcast, Jerusalim said he expects the premium between the two indexes to narrow in 2025, either by the TSX multiple going up, or the S&P 500 multiple coming down. “Either way, that spells out [an] outperformance for the Canadian benchmark,” he said.

The federal government will propose funding for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in the 2024 budget to combat tax non-compliance in the housing sector.

That statement contradicts one of the government’s previously stated goals for the 1% tax on underused homes: to direct the tax’s revenue toward housing affordability measures.
