Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is “very bullish” on investing domestically, as the government steps up its efforts to attract private capital to projects in the country, a top official at the fund said.
“We’re starting to see strong momentum in galvanization of political will to consider major projects and nation building in a way that we hadn’t seen before,” Manroop Jhooty, the pension plan’s head of total fund management, said in an interview Tuesday at the Bloomberg Canadian Finance Conference in New York. “We’re genuinely excited about the opportunities that presents.”
