2) but at the same time servicing Quebec’s prosperity – REM metrolink project to connect airport with Montreal City Center. Being a seeder for nurturing Quebec based Emerging asset Managers.
3) a real diversity of portfolio in both geography and sector, enabled by a great mix of direct investment, co-investment through strategic partnerships and utilization of external managers.
