  • SHARE Investor Summit Day 1

    Feb. 15

  • 11:05  - 12:15 PM
    Rising housing costs in Canada have been accompanied by a surge in institutional investment in the multifamily rental market. The investments that pension funds, asset managers, private equity firms and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) make in residential real estate are coming under increasing scrutiny on the part of the general public, political leaders and regulatory bodies. While most Canadian institutional investors have responsible investment policies and incorporate ESG considerations into their investment decision-making, none have articulated an approach to addressing the reputational, regulatory and systemic risks in their housing portfolios.

    This session will discuss investor efforts to address the adequate right to housing in their portfolios. It will explore a set of principles for responsible investment in housing developed by the Investors for Affordable Cities Project. It will profile efforts by institutional investors to advance housing affordability in their asset allocation and stewardship.
