Ontario Securities Commission Publishes Study on Canadian ETF Market
TORONTO, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ - The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) today published a detailed study examining the liquidity and arbitrage mechanism of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in Canada.
The OSC ETF study comes as the Canadian market has experienced significant growth over the last ten years, expanding to more than 1,200 ETFs with over $500 billion in assets by the end of 2024. Retail participation in ETFs, including trading activity, has also seen an increase over the last five years.
Despite this substantial growth, there has been limited research on how Canadian ETFs have functioned in recent years. The study focused on three key areas:
ETF secondary market liquidity;
Effectiveness of the arbitrage mechanism in ensuring that ETF market prices reflect their Net Asset Value (NAV); and
Potential drivers of ETF liquidity and the arbitrage mechanism.
The findings from this study informed the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) consultation on Enhancing Exchange-Traded Fund Regulation. The consultation was published concurrently with this report.
"ETFs have become popular among a broad spectrum of investors and have proven resilient in the face of recent financial and macroeconomic events," said Grant Vingoe, CEO of the OSC. "By using data-driven insights, we can better tailor policies to protect investors while fostering a robust ETF market."
The mandate of the OSC is to provide protection to investors from unfair, improper or fraudulent practices, to foster fair, efficient and competitive capital markets and confidence in the capital markets, to foster capital formation, and to contribute to the stability of the financial system and the reduction of systemic risk. Investors are urged to check the registration of any persons or company offering an investment opportunity and to review the OSC investor materials available at http://www.osc.ca.

Maple Leafs depth chart 1.0: How Knies, Tavares decisions will affect the offseason
The first major step in an offseason of ostensible change is days away for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Where does the roster stand before free-agent frenzy begins? Let's take a closer look. UFAs: Mitch Marner, John Tavares, Steven Lorentz, Max Pacioretty This is where most of the front office's work needs to get done. There's a lot to do, and it starts with sorting out some internal business, namely an extension for RFA Matthew Knies and a new contract (or not) for Tavares. Leafs GM Brad Treliving would like to have resolutions for both ASAP. It would help greatly with offseason planning. It may not be possible. Advertisement The sooner the Knies deal gets done, the better for the Leafs. But for Knies and his camp, there's more leverage in pushing right up to July 1, when the threat of an offer sheet in a rising-cap environment gets real. The Leafs have a choice: sign the 22-year-old to a long-term deal and bet on his upside, or bridge him and kick the can down the road until later. Locking Knies down for the long haul brings a higher price tag in the short term and less money to spend this summer. The upside, though, could be huge as the cap continues to rise, and more so if Knies becomes a bona fide star. Say the Leafs signed Knies to a seven- or eight-year deal, with a cap hit of $8 million — today's equivalent of Matt Boldy's seven-year, $49 million deal with Minnesota in Jan. 2023. By year three of the deal, when the cap is expected to reach $113.5 million, Knies would be making last season's equivalent of $6.2 million on the cap. Were he to blossom into a 70- or 80-point all-situations power forward by then, the Leafs would have a real bargain on their hands. The Leafs wouldn't be reaping much, if any, value in the near term on a long contract. They would be more or less paying Knies his present-day worth, and maybe even a little more. A short-term deal, on the other hand, would present slightly more flexibility today and allow the front office to make the roster a smidge deeper in the next couple of seasons. The downside of a short-term deal would almost certainly come on the back end when the salary cap is a lot higher than it is today, and all the more so if Knies leaps into stardom. Sign Knies to a two-year contract now, for instance, and he'll be in a position to negotiate again in the summer of 2027 when the cap has risen approximately $18 million from where it is today. That would likely mean Knies pulling down a cap hit in double figures on what would be his third NHL contract. Advertisement Would the two sides meet in the middle, with something like the five-year deal at $8.4 million AAV Wyatt Johnston signed with the Dallas Stars this spring? (The fact that Johnston is a centre who has scored 30 goals or more in back-to-back seasons skews the comp somewhat. He's also a little younger.) The Leafs played their last game over a month ago and still haven't come to terms yet on a new deal for Tavares despite mutual interest. (And it's not close, according to the latest reporting from The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.) It feels a bit like a game of chicken is going on between the two sides. The Leafs know Tavares doesn't want to continue his career anywhere else, and Tavares' camp knows the Leafs (sort of) need him back, given their limited options this summer. Matt Duchene's four-year deal with Dallas with a cap hit of $4.5 million is probably a strike in the Leafs' favour, while Brock Nelson's three-year deal with Colorado with a cap hit of $7.5 million is one Tavares' camp might point to for comparison (especially after he out-produced Nelson last season). Duchene and Nelson were also two theoretical alternatives, which — coupled with Sam Bennett's apparent desire to stay in Florida — leaves little in the way of free-agent recourse for the Leafs if Tavares doesn't stick around. How badly do the Leafs want to keep him if a three-year deal with a Nelson-like number is what it takes? The Leafs may want to sign Tavares to the same kind of long-ish deal as Chris Tanev last summer (six years, $4.5 million cap hit). Tavares gets his money in that case and the Leafs bring down the cap hit. However, Tavares might look around and see Brad Marchand on the verge of another rich deal at age 38 and wonder whether he might land one more sweet contract himself after this one. Advertisement Sign Tavares and the Leafs wouldn't technically have to land another centre, though rolling back the same look down the middle that failed in each of the past two seasons would be a mistake. (And there are reasons to move off Tavares as the No. 2 centre regardless.) If Tavares isn't returning, on the other hand, the Leafs won't have the option. They will have to find a centre, and not just any centre, a top-six centre. And with Duchene, Nelson and Bennett all unavailable for one reason or another and little ammunition for trade, the Leafs could be stuck. In other words, the Leafs' offseason needs will be dictated in part by what happens with Tavares. It can't be overstated how big a void Marner's presumed departure will leave on the Leafs. He had 18 points more than the next closest Leaf this past season. He was consistently the team's best or second-best defensive forward, which allowed the No. 1 line to go toe-to-toe against top lines night after night. He was the Leafs' best penalty-killing forward and the quarterback of their No. 1 power-play unit. There is no replacing all of that with any one player. The Leafs need to start by finding someone they think can hang on Auston Matthews' right wing. Technically, that gig could simply go to William Nylander, who played frequently there over the years, just not last season under Craig Berube, who was resistant to the combination. (He should reconsider that stance moving forward.) Brad Marchand obviously wouldn't bring Marner-like skills to Matthews' line, but he does have the tools and experience to be a good fit there. Anthony Beauvillier could bring a brasher dimension to Matthews' wing, if nothing near Marner's skill. Patrick Kane would have been an intriguing short-term option, but he appears destined to return to Detroit. Advertisement The Leafs could look to the trade market for a skilled top-six winger, but as with the need at centre, what are they trading to get said player? (Would they consider the apparently available Evander Kane, not necessarily to play with Matthews?) It's possible the Leafs simply have to ask of Matthews what the Oilers sometimes ask of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (and the Penguins of Sidney Crosby) and that's lifting at least one out-of-their-depth winger. Meanwhile, the Leafs may feel they have enough on the left side to get by if they re-sign Max Pacioretty for another low-risk, high-upside kind of deal, what with Knies and Bobby McMann both around. Then again, counting on Pacioretty to play top-six minutes for an 82-game season isn't exactly foolproof, and McMann has looked overexposed playing above the third line. Berube could also give Easton Cowan a shot to play somewhere in the top nine at training camp and see if he's ready to play in the NHL next season. How Berube's lineup shakes up will depend on what the Leafs decide to do at centre. All bets are off after Matthews. Tavares' so-so playoff results would suggest a move to the wing might be beneficial, especially now ahead of season No. 17. However, given what's out there and what the Leafs have to trade, they may feel they have no choice but to keep Tavares in the middle, even as the No. 2, if he re-signs. Only with the addition of a legitimate upgrade could the Leafs move him down into the third line or wing. If not a second-line guy, can Treliving reel in a dependable 3C, such as J.G. Pageau, who could ease Matthews' defensive burden? The Leafs are in a bind here. It's why the misfire on Scott Laughton at the trade deadline was so costly. Not only did it not solve a need, it robbed the Leafs of the first-round pick they could have used to acquire higher-end help right now. Advertisement It's easily forgotten in all the DNA talk that the Leafs lost in the second round because they didn't score enough. They scored four goals total in the last four games against the Panthers and boasted the worst quality of five-on-five offence of any team in the playoffs in terms of expected goal rate. Five regulars in the bottom six didn't score even once. And now Marner, one of the three best offensive players on the team, is likely moving on. And so while the Leafs could use more size, speed, bite and utility in their lineup, they could also, once again, use more offence. A middle-six forward who can bring a bit of everything would be ideal, which might explain the Leafs' interest in Mason Marchment. It's why pending free agents like Andrew Mangiapane and Beauvillier would be good fits. One low-key looming question for the front office is whether they can unload the final three years of Max Domi's contract, and if not, whether to consider a buyout. Removing Domi's $3.75 million cap hit would give the front office more ammunition to acquire more suitable help, whether through trade or a free-agent market stuffed with useful middle-six forwards like Connor Brown, Tanner Jeannot, Mason Appleton and Victor Olofsson. The Leafs need to find a way to build a stronger third line, one with purpose. If Berube feels that both Calle Järnkrok and David Kämpf are fourth-liners next season, at least one needs to go. The Leafs can't have $4.5 million combined cap dollars playing marginal minutes at the bottom of their lineup. It's also worth watching whether the Leafs extend a qualifying offer to Nick Robertson if they can't trade him and if Pontus Holmberg tests arbitration. UFA: Jani Hakanpää How the Leafs handle some of those other priorities may determine the path here. In his end-of-season media availability, Treliving went out of his way to point out the need for improved puck-moving and offensive ability on the back end, but what the GM wants and can get are two different things. Advertisement One potential path: Trade Carlo for help up front and replace him in free agency (or trade). Carlo's contract, with two more years remaining and a low cap hit of $3.48 million, could be attractive to teams in need of a right-shooting defenceman. Deal Carlo, though, and the Leafs will be right back to the who-plays-with-Morgan-Rielly question mark. The Leafs might instead bring in a third-pairing righty, with more offensive juice, to play alongside Oliver Ekman-Larsson on the third pair, at which point Simon Benoit, with two years left on his deal, could become expendable. UFA: Matt Murray Could the Leafs trade one of their two tandem goalies? It's not impossible. Then again, except for Spencer Knight for Seth Jones, goalies tend not to fetch much in trades. And removing one of Anthony Stolarz or Joseph Woll would force the front office to fill that hole with a capable replacement. The free agent class this summer includes Dan Vladar (who played for Treliving in Calgary), Ville Husso, Jake Allen, Vitek Vanecek, Anton Forsberg, Alexander Georgiev and Ilya Samsonov. All No. 2s, essentially. Bring one in and the Leafs would have to entrust Stolarz or Woll with a fuller No. 1 workload next season. Stolarz was excellent last season, but he's also 31, started only 33 games during the regular season and is entering the last year of his contract. (The Leafs could offer him an extension on July 1.) Woll would be the more obvious trade chip, though he's also long-term upside at the position for the Leafs and is set to begin the three-year extension he signed last summer at $3.66 million. That said, the crease was a position of strength last season. The Leafs may not be inclined to mess with it. They will need to add a No. 3 to the depth chart this summer, whether that's by re-signing Murray or bringing in someone like James Reimer, Alex Lyon or David Rittich as experienced support in his place.
