Benefits Canada Global Investment Conference 2022 | Groupe Contex | 5 April 2022 | Fairmont Château Lake Louise, 111 Lake Louise Dr, Lake Louise, AB T0L 1E0, Canada

Canadian investors on the world stage
By making enormous private equity, real estate and infrastructure investments, Canada’s largest pension investment organizations have generated consistently high returns and earned a moniker by the press — the Maple 8.

But what, exactly, makes the Maple 8 so effective at capitalizing on opportunities throughout the world? How can plan sponsors effectively replicate the success of the Maple 8 at smaller organizations? The presenters will use the latest academic research to provide much-needed answers to these questions, giving delegates an edge in international investing.

Who Should Attend?
The conference is an exclusive, educational forum that brings together senior representatives of Canadian pension plan sponsors, as well as representatives from the academic, custodial and money management communities.
