Canadian stocks are set to outperform US peers in 2023, according to experts who see the finance and resource-heavy market besting American indices with larger weightings in growth sectors like technology.

High-valued tech stocks, a major contributor to strong North American equity markets in recent years, were a weight around the neck of both the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite index (^GSPTSE) last year.
