With nearly 5% of its assets invested in energy transition, this investment reinforces B\u00e2tirente\u2019s leadership in responsible investing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe investment in this fund allows us to combine performance and social responsibility.\u201d highlights Mr. Daniel Simard, Chief Executive Officer. \u201cEveryone is aware that global warming is a significant risk that will very likely have an impact on the environment as well as a direct impact on us, on the risk level and the performance of our funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is B\u00e2tirente\u2019s second major investment in this field. A mandate was given to AGF in 2016 to manage a portion of the B\u00e2tirente Global Equity Multi Fund. The investment in the AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity Fund is presently valued at $13.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these two major investments, B\u00e2tirente currently has almost 5% of its total assets invested directly in energy transition. This confirms our commitment to be a leader in this field.\u201d says Ms. Louise Charette, Chief Investment Officer. <span class=\"fontstyle3\">B\u00e2tirente announces the selection of two new Canadian equity managers <span class=\"fontstyle4\">Subsequent to a performance review of the B\u00e2tirente Canadian Equity Multi Fund, the firms Foyston, Gordon &amp; Payne and Allard, Allard and Associates were both selected to manage a part of this Fund. These managers are in addition to Triasima, the long-time manager of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese three managers offer complementary styles that will allow the optimization of our members\u2019 risk profile.\u201d mentions Louise Charette, B\u00e2tirente\u2019s Chief Investment Officer. When the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) was launched in 2006, B\u00e2tirente was one of the original signatories. As such, B\u00e2tirente implemented innovative practices that clearly demonstrate its commitment to responsible investing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About B\u00e2tirente<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B\u00e2tirente is a group retirement system created in 1987 at the initiative of the CSN.
