In the Season 2 Finale of Money Talks, host Rita and financial expert Jonathan Cartier decode the complex world of Institutional Clients. We move beyond retail investing to explore how the "whales" of the Canadian Stock Marketâpension funds, mutual funds, and hedge fundsâmove millions of dollars without tipping the scales.
If you are preparing for your Canadian Securities Course (CSC) or want to understand the mechanics of the TSX and Bay Street, this episode provides a breakdown of the Buy Side vs. Sell Side dynamic. Jonathan explains the high-stakes environment of Dark Pools, the speed of High Frequency Trading (HFT), and the specific roles of Portfolio Managers and Liability Traders.
