Last month, former prime minister Stephen Harper re-entered the headlines, after being appointed to chair the board of AIMCo, the Alberta Investment Management Corporation. His return followed mass upheaval at the company – with the Alberta government abruptly firing most of its senior leadership and board members.
AIMCo is responsible for managing hundreds of thousands of public-sector pensions, totalling more than $169-billion. What is happening at Canada’s sixth-largest pension fund manager and what does it mean for these pensions?
James Bradshaw is The Globe and Mail’s institutional investing reporter. He’ll explain the shake up at AIMCo and why the separation of government from public pension funds is at stake.
