Bruce Winch, Head of Sales, T. Rowe Price (Canada), Inc.:
"The launch of our U.S. Large-Cap Core Growth Equity pool stems from strong demand for our actively managed U.S. equity portfolios. This strategy, which has existed for 23 years, is a nice complement to our existing Canadian pooled vehicles, which are being well received by defined benefit and defined contribution clients across Canada. We expect to continue to launch Canadian pools based on the demand from our clients, such as global fixed income."
