• The increasing role of hedge funds in Government of Canada bond auctions

  Staff Analytical Note 2025-22 Adam Epp, Jeffrey Gao

This increased participation supports the cost-effective distribution of Canada’s debt, but it also represents a potential vulnerability because hedge funds have a greater flight risk than other investor types.
