Mark Wiseman, former chair of AIMCo and former CEO of CPPIB, joins BNN Bloomberg to talk about the role of pension plans in attracting capital to Canada.
The country’s largest pension manager, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, had 12% of its capital invested in domestic assets as of March, compared with 70% in 2001, when the board was a relatively new entity and Canada had rules that capped pension funds’ investments in foreign assets. Just 8% of CPPIB’s active equities portfolio was in Canadian stocks as of March 31.
At Freeland’s request, former Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz is now looking at ways to entice pension managers to do exactly that. For Carrier, conversations around go-private transactions are “always a little bit depressing,” because he believes privatization portends a lack of participants in the public market. When Canadian companies can’t access the right kind of capital and can’t achieve proper valuations, Carrier said, the door opens to aggressive acquisition offers, often from foreign companies.
