UPDATE 1-Foreign investment in Canadian securities picks up in June

OTTAWA, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Foreign investment in Canadian
securities picked back up in June as portfolio adjustments saw
investors push into the money market, data from Statistics
Canada showed on Monday.
Non-residents bought C$8.51 billion ($6.47 billion) in
Canadian assets, more than offsetting May's decline. Foreigners
sold C$8.86 billion in Canadian bonds, reflecting retirements of
provincial and corporate bonds.
But investment in the Canadian money market reached a record
C$12.04 billion. Foreigners also upped their equities' holdings
by C$5.33 billion, despite a more than 3 percent decline in the
benchmark Canadian stock market in June.
Canadians bought C$8.57 billion in foreign securities in the
same month, with investments concentrated in non-U.S.
securities. Canadian investment in foreign securities was C$24.2
billion in the second quarter, the highest in eight years.
International transactions in securities created a net
outflow of funds from the Canadian economy of C$4.4 billion in
the second quarter.
($1 = $1.3145 Canadian)
