How are financial organizations navigating an increasingly complex risk landscape? That was the question posed to Kathryn Fric, Ontario Teachers' Chief Risk Officer, at the Global Risk Institute Summit last week. Kathryn joined Jean-Sébastien Grisé and Halina von dem Hagen on a panel moderated by Nezihe Aquino to discuss how risk leaders are adapting into the speed of change. Kathryn said that new and emerging risks are becoming more interconnected in today’s complex operating environment. This means we must not only prepare for known risks that lie ahead, but also consider their impacts in unanticipated ways. Kathryn said we cannot overemphasize the importance of a strong risk culture – that having the proper tools and controls in place enables us to build resilience, be agile and pivot our portfolio when needed. Ultimately risk preparedness in a rapidly changing world is key to the long-term sustainability of the plan and critical to our core purpose of delivering financial security to our members.

How can financial institutions take a strategic approach to decarbonizing investments across assets? That was the focus of a recent panel that Anna Murray, Senior Managing Director and Global Head of Sustainable Investing, addressed at the Sustainable Investment Forum, which coincides with the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and Climate Week NYC. She was joined by Samantha Hill, Jean-Baptiste Tricot, Ben Catt and Eric Maltzer. During the conversation, Anna outlined three key areas of focus for us: having a multifaceted strategy to achieve net zero, actively engaging with high-emitters, and ensuring a nuanced approach by incorporating “just transition” aspects into our planning. “We’ve engaged with 29 companies representing over 80% of all emissions from our private companies. By dedicating patient capital and expertise, we’ve worked in partnership to achieve real-world economic change while providing retirement security for our members.”

Our Executive Managing Director of Total Fund Management, Steve Saldanha, recently joined a panel discussion at Financial Times' Future of Asset Management North America conference. He was joined by Craig Ferguson, Neda Jafar, and Mikaël Limpalaër. The panel highlighted how, after decades of a stable economic order, investors are now faced with greater uncertainty, disruption, and shifts in business and societal expectations. Steve spoke to the strategies institutional investors, like Ontario Teachers’, are deploying to adapt to this new economic era. “In the face of increasing uncertainty, it’s essential for us to focus on resilience and innovation. We must adapt our strategies and find ways to generate value from our existing assets, as the economic landscape continues to evolve.” You can watch the full discussion here: https://ow.ly/nQrC50TCBZb

This acquisition builds on our Real Estate teams’ conviction in the living sector and complements our multi-family portfolio globally.
