Led by Scott Lawrence, Vice-President, Head of Relationship Investments, the Relationship Investments group aims to provide strategic capital ($100 million to $2 billion) to public companies where CPPIB can make a difference to the future success of the issuer in a number of ways, including the support of acquisitions, the funding of organic growth, or helping to recapitalize the balance sheet.

By acquiring a meaningful minority stake in the equity (or via equity-linked securities) – typically via private placement – and establishing a collaborative relationship with an issuer’s management and board of directors, CPPIB’s Relationship Investments group can be a constructive partner and provider of capital over the long term.  Currently, the Relationship Investments group is focused exclusively on Canadian issuers.
