Global pension capital investor, IFM Investors (IFM), today announced that the right policy settings could lead to a further C$10 billion invested in Canada over the next 10 years, seeking risk-adjusted returns for working people’s retirement savings.
The intention comes as IFM signed an historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) alongside Australian and Canadian pension funds and their investment organisations in Sydney yesterday.
Australian and Canadian pension funds are leaders in infrastructure investment, co-investing on behalf of workers and retirees in roads, ports, energy, water, and data centres, globally.
Funds managed by IFM are already invested in key Canadian infrastructure assets alongside Canadian pension funds, including Global Container Terminals in Vancouver and Enwave Energy.
Enwave provides reliable, commercial, sustainable district energy solutions at scale for municipalities, commercial developments, universities, hospitals, data centres and residential communities in the cities of Toronto, London, Windsor, Markham and Charlottetown.
IFM Investors opened an office in Toronto in late 2025, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Canada and its more than 200 Canadian institutional clients.
Australia’s superannuation system is growing at such a rate that roughly 60 cents in every new dollar that workers contribute to Australian super funds is now invested overseas. IFM Investors is scouring Australia, Canada and all over the world for the best deals to grow members’ retirement savings.
