, which are governed by the Pension Funds Act. Recent changes to Regulation 28 of the Pension Fund Act have clarified retirement funds’ ability to invest in alternative investments such as private equity, debt or hedge funds. Importantly, these changes mean pension funds can now invest in a broad spectrum of infrastructure assets.
