CDPQ is a leading shareholder in Canadian and global markets. Our teams invest in shares of public companies traded on the world’s largest exchanges.

We seek to build a robust portfolio based on an absolute-return, long-term approach. To do so, we rely on in-depth, proprietary research to better understand the strategic and operational environments of each of our investments.
