Investment philosophy

Sound and responsible management

Our investment philosophy combines prudence and rigour to protect plan members’ interests.  

We rely on our long-term vision and adaptability to sustain the Plan’s performance, regardless of market fluctuations.  

We affirm our commitment to sustainable and responsible investing by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.



A balanced approach to serving plan members

We manage our portfolios dynamically to generate returns that support our mission, while limiting risks associated with financial markets. Every decision is based on a rigorous analysis of both risks and investment opportunities.
