In this role, General Hillier will assist the Bank's efforts to deepen the support that it is providing to the defence and security industry, as well as dual-use companies across the country in the rapidly evolving landscape. Working closely with the Bank's partners and leaders, he will provide strategic advice on defence-related trends and contribute insights on issues affecting Canada's resilience, security, advanced manufacturing, aerospace and the defence industrial base. "General Hillier is one of Canada's most respected military leaders and strategic thinkers," said Laurent Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Bank. "Throughout his distinguished career, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of the issues that shape Canada's place in the world. His perspective will be invaluable as we continue to support our clients and navigate a rapidly evolving environment." General Hillier served for more than 35 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, culminating in his appointment as Chief of the Defence Staff from 2005 to 2008. During his distinguished military career, he led major domestic and international operations, including NATO missions, and played a key role in strengthening Canada's defence capabilities during a period of significant transformation.

Vegan and climate change focused ETF outperforms S&P 500. Related topics. Focus on climate change and avoidance of companies which are involved in the slaughter of, cruelty towards or other mistreatment of animals, lies behind Beyond Investing's US Vegan Climate ETF - VEGN. Founded some seven years ago, the fund has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 with an annualised return of 19.87 per cent against the S&P's return of 16.28 per cent over the period, based on NAV to 30th June 2026. Outperformance is driven by its slight overweight in US technology stocks, such as Micron Technologies and Nvidia, which has given it strong performance over the second quarter of 2026. Chief Executive, Claire Smith, says: "The way we construct the index is that we screen out anything harmful to animals and the environment, particularly focusing on fossil fuels, human rights, single use plastic and weapons and if you take all of that out, you end up with a portfolio which is higher in other sectors - one of those being technology which has generally been good to us." When the oil price is strong, the fund underperforms as it strips out the entire energy sector. "But we replace it with renewable stocks and they have done well," Smith says, citing stocks focused on equipment which surrounds solar and wind energy production. Smith explains that the firm launched its inaugural ETF in the US because that was the largest market and where they had the most concrete demand. Assets stand at USD180 million at the moment, and the firm is set for expansion with the launch in September of an international version in the US, listed on CBOE. This international fund is benchmarked to the MSCI World ex-US. "If you are in the original fund, you can add this to create a global portfolio," Smith says. "We have been running the International index since June 2022 and against that benchmark index, the international index has had a 2.37 per cent excess return annualised." This index is also somewhat heavy in technology but includes industrials and communications firms, reflecting the international market composition in Germany and Japan, for instance, where industrials are a bigger part of their indices. "These two funds are highly complementary to each other," Smith says, "with no risk of portfolio replication because the international version screens out US stocks." "I think once we have this one done in the US, we have the two components of equities which I think are most important for people who want a balanced equity portfolio." The next thing on the cards for the firm is a European version, as they have had a number of enquiries for a UCITS version. Smith says: "Because we are growing organically we can't throw out tons of different funds at once. We need cash flow to support the second fund before we do it, but the next fund will be a UCITS ETF." * August 11, 2026 Multifonds has announced that National Bank of Canada, one of Canada's six systemically important banks, has selected Multifonds to modernise... * August 6, 2026 State Street Investment Management reports that macro risks and AI crowding concerns outweighed strong earnings in July, pushing global stocks... * August 6, 2026 Morningstar has published the European Active/Passive Barometer for H1 2026, a semi-annual report that measures the performance of around 32,000... * August 3, 2026 SIX writes that while July is typically a calmer trading month due to seasonal factors, YOY comparisons show double-digit growth...
2 great Canadian stocks that just raised their payouts again. August 3, 2026 4 Mins Read Foolish investors always love to hear dividend hike news from stocks they already own. Usually, increasing dividends also shows that management feels good about the company's earnings, cash flow, and ability to keep growing. Of course, no dividend is guaranteed, but businesses that raise their payouts year after year tend to have a solid financial base and strong fundamentals behind them. Two well-known Canadian companies recently gave investors another reason to pay attention. National Bank of Canada (TSX:NA) followed strong banking results with a higher quarterly dividend, while Thomson Reuters (TSX:TRI) extended a dividend-growth streak that now stretches beyond three decades. Let's take a closer look at both stocks, their financials supporting these latest dividend increases, and why each could still appeal to long-term income investors. National Bank stock. National Bank of Canada offers investors a great mix of rising income, strong earnings growth, and expanding operations. The bank mainly provides personal and commercial banking, wealth management, capital markets, and international financial services. Its shares have gained 60% over the last year and 34% year to date to currently trade at $230.99 apiece, giving the bank a market capitalization of about $88.7 billion. At this market price, it has a 2.3% annualized dividend yield. That strong share-price performance has been backed by National Bank's improving results. In the second quarter of its fiscal 2026 (ended in April), the bank's net income rose 38% year-over-year (YoY) to about $1.2 billion, while its adjusted earnings advanced 13% to $3.23 per share. Growth across its business segments helped drive those gains. Lower provisions for credit losses also played a major role, since its quarterly results a year ago included initial provisions tied to acquired Canadian Western Bank loans. Similarly, National Bank's wealth management net income climbed 18% YoY to $274 million, while U.S. specialty finance and international net income rose 10% to $186 million. Following those strong results, National Bank raised its quarterly dividend by 6% to $1.32 per share. Meanwhile, the bank continues to pursue synergies from its Canadian Western Bank acquisition and plans to expand further through transactions involving selected Laurentian Bank portfolios. With solid capital levels, growing earnings, and another payout increase, National Bank remains an attractive choice for investors seeking dependable dividend growth. Thomson Reuters stock. For investors looking beyond the banking sector, Thomson Reuters also offers a healthy combination of recurring revenue, artificial intelligence (AI)-linked growth, and rising dividends. In short, Thomson Reuters provides software, information, and technology to legal, accounting, compliance, and media professionals. Its shares currently trade at $145.55 per share with a market cap of $63.5 billion. The stock has fallen 20% year to date, while its annualized dividend yield stands at 2.6%. This weakness in TRI stock contrasts with the underlying strength in the company's operating results. Its first-quarter revenue rose 10% YoY to US$2.1 billion, helped by a 10% rise in recurring revenue and 15% growth in transaction revenue. Meanwhile, its organic revenue grew 8%, while the legal professionals, corporates, and tax, audit, and accounting professionals segments delivered combined organic growth of 9%. The company's adjusted earnings also climbed 10% YoY in the latest quarter to US$1.23, and free cash flow jumped 19% to US$332 million. Demand for many of its products, such as Westlaw, CoCounsel, Practical Law, Pagero, and Confirmation, supported growth across its core businesses. Encouraged by these results, Thomson Reuters raised its annualized dividend by 10% to US$2.62. That marked its 33rd consecutive year of dividend increases and its fifth straight 10% hike. Moreover, the company is continuing to invest in AI, including its acquisition of Noetica. Its long dividend-growth record, healthy recurring revenue, and continued investment in AI-powered professional tools make Thomson Reuters an appealing stock for long-term investors.
