Laurier’s investments are managed by investment managers in pooled funds and limited partnerships.
Many of Laurier’s investment managers have publicly available policies on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, and they must report on the topic each year to Laurier’s Investment Oversight Sub-committee.
All of Laurier’s investment managers except one are signatories to the UN PRI (United Nations‐supported Principles for Responsible Investment). The one that is not a signatory invests solely in private mortgages within Canada and the U.S.
The table below links investment managers to their UNPRI signatory profiles.
