Abstract

New sources of Canadian capital market monthly return data allow a comparison of Canadian returns with United States exchange-rate-adjusted returns. The results suggest that Canadian Treasury bills and long-term bonds have higher average returns than their U.S. counterparts. U.S. equities have higher returns but, surprisingly, greater risk than Canadian equities. Premiums for inflation, maturity and default in the two markets are quite similar, however.
