Investment Funds and External Management
To create long-term value, it takes the right partners. That’s why we work with high-quality fund and asset managers that expand CDPQ’s pool of investments.
Our team invests in diversified funds in Québec and around the world—in private equity, private credit, real estate and venture capital. Through external managers, the team also invests in equity and bond markets, as well as hedge funds.
