Trimark funds hit by almost $1-billion in net redemptions

Article Abstract:

Trimark Financial Corp.'s investors withdrew nearly C$1 billion out of the firm's mutual funds. The high pull-out rate was brought about by the weak performance of Trimark's Canadian and international funds. Analyst James Dancy of C.M. Oliver & Co. stated that it would take Trimark at least one year to return to profitability. Trimark posted new sales worth C$850 million in the fiscal first quarter that ended Jun. 30, 1998, yet the mutual fund manager also reported it incurred C$1.8 billion in redemptions, resulting in a net outflow worth C$966 million for period.
