Strategic relationship set to provide eligible Canadian clients with exclusive access to new global private equity strategy
Jarislowsky Fraser is offering eligible clients a new option to access the alternative investment space through an exclusive strategic partnership.
The leading Canadian institutional and private wealth investment manager has allied with HarbourVest Partners to offer access to a turnkey global private equity strategy to qualified institutional and ultra-high-net-worth investors in Canada.
“In today's market environment, private assets have a growing relevance in core portfolio allocations,” said Jarislowsky Fraser President and CEO Maxime Ménard. “This private equity solution offers institutional investors and UHNW individuals focused on multi-generational wealth preservation an innovative product for this lower rate environment and adds to the wide range of investment solutions for our clients.”
“This partnership combines HarbourVest's private markets expertise and global platform with a firm focused on providing solutions to meet their clients' investment objectives,” added John Toomey, managing director at HarbourVest. “Our longstanding philosophy of placing clients at the center of what we do and commitment to quality and investment stewardship aligns well with Jarislowsky Fraser.”
Aside from a philosophy of quality and investment stewardship, the two firms share the belief that incorporating ESG considerations into the investment process – a top priority among Canadian investors – is instrumental in seeking long-term returns for clients.
