On February 13, 2025, we hosted a live Canadian bank webcast with Rob Wessel, Executive Chairman & Co-Founder of Hamilton ETFs and one of Canada’s leading experts in the financial services sector. Rob provided his insights into how investors can navigate one of the most challenging stock picking environments for the Canadian banks in over 30 years reviewed how highly material and idiosyncratic valuation issues affecting most banks combined with significant valuation spreads is complicating stock selection.

Topics of Discussion:

  • Four highly material and idiosyncratic issues overshadowing certain banks
  • What valuations spreads are communicating (and not communicating)
  • On expansion, who was wrong; who was right — why it still matters today
  • Is a cyclical credit recovery at hand (and will new loan loss accounting help)?
  • Will 2025 bring political opportunity?
