Canadian Family Offices’ third annual multi-family office survey has launched
Since we conducted our first survey of multi-family offices in 2024, Canadian Family Offices' annual MFO study, The Multi-Family Office Landscape in Canada, has become one of our most widely read and cited editorial productions. Our 2026 version of the survey has just dropped, and we are inviting MFOs across the country to once again devote a few minutes of their time to helping us round out the collective understanding of MFOs, where they invest (or don't), the families they support and how they support them, as well as the common challenges and opportunities they face.
Last year, more than 70 MFO representatives answered the call (up from about 50 in 2024), and our 2025 report was downloaded more than 1,000 times. We are, of course, hoping for an even more enthusiastic response this year.
If you're a representative of a multi-family office and would like to take part in our survey, click here.

The margin for error is narrowing: highlights from Canso’s July 2026 Corporate Bond Newsletter
Right now, success will depend on the discipline of careful security selection, the team at leading Canadian institutional investment management firm Canso Investment Counsel wrote in their latest Corporate Bond Newsletter, adding that generating alpha will depend as much on knowing what not to own as it does on identifying the credits worth owning.
Maple bonds have stolen the show
Maple bonds are Canadian-dollar-denominated bonds issued by non-Canadian borrowers. The team at Canso has been tracking these issuances, and noted that Maple issuance doubled in 2025, from $8 billion to $16 billion. In the first six months of 2026, total Maple bond issuance surpassed $35 billion, with U.S. “hyperscalers” entering the Canadian bond market in size for the first time in May.
