TORONTO, Dec. 2 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) today reported
net redemptions totaling $99 million, consisting of money market fund net
sales of $162 million and long-term fund net redemptions of $261 million for
the month. Total net assets invested in TD Mutual Funds totaled $46.7 billion
as of the end of November.
    "Investors have clearly been anxious about the volatility we have seen
over the last few months, however we have seen some signs that investor
confidence appears to be gradually rebuilding," said Tim Pinnington, President
TD Mutual Funds.
    Long-term fund gross sales for the month totaled $476 million, a decrease
of 28% from October 2008. Long-term gross redemptions totaled $737 million,
decreasing 39% over the previous month.
    Long-term fund redemptions declined 19% since November 2007. "This
suggests that while the recent volatility may be making investors reluctant to
commit new money to long-term funds, they are largely taking a longer-term
view on their existing holdings," added Pinnington.
