It was a great pleasure to speak to Sarah Rundell from Top1000funds.com about the approach to Private Markets Investments at University Pension Plan Ontario.
Amongst other things, we spoke about how our people and our partnerships with market leading investment partners are core to our strategy, as well as how a long-term view and patience is crucial in Private Markets.
We also covered our cohesive approach to the four private asset classes, our focus on co-investments and fundamental belief that ESG and Responsible Investments can be a value driver for us.
Over the past 18 months, we have so far invested over CAD 900m with market leading partners in funds, JVs, and co-investments across the four private market asset classes (Infrastructure, Real Estate, Private Equity, and Private Debt). A huge thank you to the Private Markets team at UPP for an outstanding effort to take us to where we are so quickly after our inception: James W., Carrie Gurza, Jacob Shu, Aiman Elnahas, Joanne Liang CFA, CBV, CPA, Frances Wu, Ankit Abraham Sinha, Evan Zhou, CFA, Rachel Ma, Ruvarashe Hatendi, Meezan Shaukat, Rebecca Sorgini, Melany Santos. What a brilliant team!
