Canadian retail net flows2 were $161.0 million for the quarter, compared to $431.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and $110.0 million in the comparative prior year period.
In May, we announced a subsequent investment in NHC, marking another important step in the evolution of AGF Capital Partners and our broader growth strategy. This investment supports the continued diversification of AGFs business, assets and client base, added Goldring.
