Our take
La Caisse (formerly CDPQ) is a global investment group that manages funds for public retirement and insurance plans. By investing constructive capital in private equity, equity markets, private credit, infrastructure, and real estate, La Caisse positions enterprises to succeed.
La Caisse's contribution to the growth of companies and the Québec economy, which has long been its niche within the market, goes beyond dollar amounts. Due to its long-standing commitment to sustainable investing, the company's stood the test of time by creating long-term returns for its clients.
Looking forward, the company is set on expanding its efforts to drive up returns offshore. To do so, it has plans to bolster its European portfolio by continuing to invest in the UK, primarily given its “pro-business” stance, and France, but is also starting to look towards other European countries, including Germany, Spain, and those in the Nordic region.
