Investing capital is just the start

Drawing on the expertise of our global portfolio of more than 100 private investments in 50 countries, our investment professionals play a direct role in the success of our businesses. Knowing that improving a business can take time, we advise on operational issues and commit to our companies for the long term. 

Active and agile management

Our active approach has helped us to deliver outstanding financial performance over our 32-year history. As we grow toward reaching $300 billion in assets by 2030, we're helping our portfolio companies thrive in a digital world and become more sustainable by adopting stronger governance practices and implementing ambitious decarbonization plans.

Cadillac Fairview: Expanding and greening its portfolio to meet changing needs

Over more than two decades, we’ve helped mall and office-property owner Cadillac Fairview expand and green its portfolio and redevelop its properties to meet changing consumer needs. In recent years, we helped it navigate government-mandated mall closures and remote working. We’re with it now as it embarks on an ambitious expansion plan that includes breathing new life into major Canadian cities, adding multi-family properties in the U.S. and building life-sciences hubs in the U.K.
