Formed in 1991, Teachers’ Private Capital is the private investment department of the $117.1 billion Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Teachers’). Teachers' has developed an innovative investment program and successful track record for investment performance.

One of Teachers’ early diversification strategies was to develop a world-class private equity portfolio.
