Our Business and Investment Model
Our clients have long-term liabilities, and our investments provide the returns that secure their future payments and obligations. Investing is an intrinsically dynamic activity. As the capital markets evolve, we adapt alongside them. Our business and investment model refocuses us to be an active, in-house asset manager with sophisticated strategies, so we can continue to succeed within an increasingly complex investment environment. Our team of skilled investment professionals, operating within a robust culture of investment risk management, collaborate across various disciplines for the benefit of our clients.
Private Markets
As our clients don’t have an immediate need for cash to pay pensions, they are increasing their exposure to asset classes that are illiquid and longer-term in nature: private equity, real estate equity and debt, infrastructure and renewable resources. We favour direct investments as it allows for a closer alignment of interests with our outlook and those of our clients.
Public Markets
Our diversified public market program combines index and active management strategies. We develop strategies and structure portfolios that capture and capitalize on opportunities within the global markets. Our fixed income portfolio allows clients to invest in global government bonds, investment-grade corporate securities, and real return bonds.
