“We’re looking to partner with the Maple 8 in ways that we have in the past. We feel that we’re aligned in terms of our investment approach, in terms of our social values, in terms of the mandate that those that invest in us expect, namely public pension funds,” added Peressutti. “We have both the social and investment alignment with the Maple Eight. If you start from that position, looking at Canada, looking at the mandate that Prime Minister Carney announced in terms of needed investment in the country, we thought it made all the sense in the world to codify our relationship and form this Canadian Australian pension fund initiative, sign the MoU on the occasion of the Prime Minister’s visit to Sydney back in March and to look forward to a very favorable investment climate in Canada and see if we can’t turn that partnership into meaningful investments.”
