Partners

A new asset class, Tangible Assets, was added to the CTF's portfolio in 2008. The Tangible Asset portfolio primarily targets investments in five sectors: agriculture, commodities, infrastructure, natural resource rights (such as mining), and timber. Each of these sectors has different return attributes and, thus, provides diversification benefits to the overall CTF portfolio.

The WSIB's tangible asset program focuses primarily on creating high-quality, long-term, stable income streams for the CTF. Our partnership investments target risk-adjusted returns consistent with our long-term expectations for the asset class. The majority of these externally-managed partnerships focus on income generation as their primary goal which, when combined with the potential upside from appreciation, generate returns that are expected to fall between performance expectations for fixed income and equities. In general, appreciation is expected to be approximately commensurate with inflation.
