Email the linkOPTrust's private markets program was launched in 2006 to build diversified private equity and infrastructure portfolios.
Private Markets Group
OPTrust's investments in private equity and infrastructure are managed by our internal Private Markets Group (PMG). The PMG consists of over 20 investment professionals, located in Toronto, London and Sydney. The team has extensive global experience investing directly and indirectly in the private equity and infrastructure asset classes. The PMG team professionals are active across both portfolios and have the skills to consider a broad array of investment solutions.
The PMG is a responsive and efficient partner, with appropriate resources and sound internal governance. The team has full middle- and back-office capacities to support its investment strategies. Extensive delegated authority from OPTrust provides the team with the ability to make decisions quickly and independently, engage in proactive deal generation, and consider creative and unconventional strategies.
Investment Approach
The PMG seeks to construct well diversified portfolios across investment strategies, geographies, investment vehicles, partner base and sectors.
The infrastructure portfolio focuses on principal and platform investment opportunities with a limited number of funds. We have the ability to consider opportunities across the risk-return spectrum, and have deep expertise in sectors including transportation, communications, power generation, energy transition, utilities, water and waste water, and waste management.
Private equity investments are made through partnerships with funds and principal investments primarily, with a growing emphasis on principal investments. We focus on making buyout and growth capital investments, as well as investments which generate steady streams of cash flows with a moderate level of growth and lower volatility. In addition, we target opportunistic private debt investments and other special situations.
