Summary

This report provides the Toronto Investment Board ("Board") with an update regarding activities involving the investment managers and related parties. It includes changes to the investment manager mandates, contracts, and funding along with other related items.

 

There are some developments with two of the global equity funds provided by Fiera Capital Corporation ("Fiera"). The first change is relatively minor and involves updating the contracts involving the Oakmark Global Pooled Fund II ("Oakmark") global equity fund.  The second change involves Fiera's decision to close the Fiera Global Equity Common Contractual Fund ("Fiera CCF").  These two items are explained in more detail in the report.  It is recommended that the Chair or Vice Chair be authorized to sign documentation necessary to complete the Oakmark contracts while the options with the Fiera CCF will be brought back to the Board at a later date.

 

The process to hire an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data service provider has been completed and has been moved to a separate report.

 

An update of the current funding status of Long-Term Fund ("LTF") and Sinking Fund ("SF") is provided in Attachment 1 to this report for the Board's review.
