Enhancing Value Through Active Ownership

At Fiera Infrastructure, we aim to honour our responsibility to ensure that the essential infrastructure we invest in is resilient and positioned to thrive over the long term. Our rigorous approach to investment and asset management means we can act in the best interests of our investors through strong management practices, investment discipline and the highest level of ethical behaviour.

President, Fiera Infrastructure

At Fiera Infrastructure, we strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through diversified exposure to the asset class. In a world that is ever changing — whether as a result of macroeconomic factors, technological development, evolving investor demands or shifting regulatory requirements — an active and engaged approach to asset management is imperative for driving value creation.

Active ownership and engagement will play an instrumental role in helping asset managers create the right framework for managing, understanding, and future-proofing the companies they invest in and, as such, for meeting growing regulatory and investor pressures. Active governance will be critical to achieving and exceeding the objectives of the business plan, whether that relates to sustainability, boosting revenue, adjusting cost structure or other growth initiatives.

Our open-end strategy is designed to be aligned with our investors’ objectives of stable and predictable returns, the long-lived characteristics of the infrastructure asset class and our diversified, long-horizon investment strategy. We structure our governance rights in a way that gives us substantial decision-making power, meaning we are able to influence management teams to ensure sustainable practices are embedded across the companies in which we invest. This serves to both de-risk our investments and create value.
