Toronto – The new issue of the Rotman International Journal of Pension Management takes a look at “reinventing the investment paradigm” in the pensions world from a number of different perspectives including behavioral finance, principal-agent conflicts, fiduciary duties of asset owners, corporate governance, investment time horizon, risk management, and collaboration strategies between institutional investors.
With contributions from pension practitioners and academics, the journal is published by the Rotman International Centre for Pension Management (Rotman ICPM) at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.
“The articles in this issue demonstrate that we are moving towards a new investment paradigm where pension funds take a long horizon approach to value creation that leads to both the companies they invest in, and their own beneficiaries being better served,” says Journal editor, Keith Ambachtsheer who is also Director of Rotman ICPM and an adjunct professor of finance at the Rotman School.
