Looking North: Pension funds are key to developing Canada’s critical minerals
Canada needs long-term and venture capital to build infrastructure, innovate and develop its critical minerals to meet the global net-zero energy transition. Pension funds are key to that goal.
While Canada’s debate does circles about the merits of mandating that our pension funds invest more at home, a different conversation is unfolding among our Western allies who focus on the strategic necessity to counter China’s global geopolitical dominance over critical minerals, which are essential for modern technologies ranging from defense technologies to renewable energy.
Their solutions are found in strategies accompanied by the policies and the financial tools needed to attract pension fund investments in these areas.
