2011 proved to be a challenging year that saw a number of major global events affecting the markets worldwide; from the tsunami in Japan, and the political turmoil in the Middle East, to the debt woes in both the U.S. and Europe. Major equity benchmarks around the globe ended the year deep in the red, although losses vary widely from region to region. On a relative basis, the U.S. was an outperformer as the Dow Jones Industrial Average generated a total return of 8.4% (10.8% in Canadian dollar terms). The broader benchmark S&P500 Index advanced a more modest 2.1% (4.4% in Canadian dollar terms). The TSX finished the year with a loss of 8.7%. The Canadian Bond Market outperformed with the Dex Universe Total Return Index up 9.7%. |
