Borealis Infrastructure announces name change to OMERS Infrastructure
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Borealis Infrastructure, the
infrastructure investment advisory and management arm of OMERS, the Canadian-
based pension plan for Ontario's municipal employees, announced today that it
will now operate as OMERS Infrastructure Management Inc. (OMERS Infrastructure).
"The name OMERS Infrastructure helps the global marketplace recognize our direct
connection to the more than 470,000 members of OMERS, on behalf of whom we
manage a portfolio of investment assets," said Michael Rolland, Chief Investment
Officer, OMERS Private Markets.
OMERS investments in infrastructure via Borealis date back to 1999, and have
evolved substantially since inception. "Now active across four continents, we
are one of the world's largest direct investors in infrastructure. Our offices
in Toronto, London, New York, Amsterdam and Sydney, are consistently expanding
our track record of successful cooperation with like-minded partners, as we seek
to grow our investment footprint," added Mr. Rolland.
"A key part of OMERS investment strategy is owning and managing some of the
highest-quality assets in the world. OMERS steady growth over the years, to more
than $85 billion in total assets under management, reflects in large part the
quality of relationships we continue to build with the global investment
community. Today's name change positions us to further extend our reach, and
embark on a new chapter in the OMERS story," he said.
"While the name is changing, our patient and disciplined approach that
emphasizes diversified investment in large-scale infrastructure businesses and
takes a long-term view remains our focus. We look forward to continuing to work
the same way with our investing partners, governments, regulators, and the local
communities we serve," he concluded.
The transition to the new name and to the use of the OMERS visual identity is
underway and will continue throughout the remainder of 2017, including in the
operations of the Global Strategic Investment Alliance (GSIA), a co-investment
program developed by OMERS.
