In this episode we travel to Canada as we continue our journey around the world to discuss investment approaches with the leading figures at some of the world’s top institutional allocators, dubbed the “super allocators”.

OTPP, well known for its investments from international airports to apple orchards in the US, commercial property globally, autonomous vehicles in Asia, and even Elon Musk’s Space X, has shown that size need not be the enemy of agility and risk comes in a variety of forms.

Jo Taylor discusses his time with 3i which educated him in venture capital and growth investing. He discusses delegating investment decisions, their appetite to be less constrained than many and their geographic and asset priorities, along with why they have, at times, made big asset allocation switches.

In a candid and wide-ranging discussion, culture, communication and ESG are all woven into this rich and varied exchange.
