Private Investments makes all of CPP Investment Board’s private investments globally (excluding real estate) that out-perform comparable passive public alternatives.  There are four distinct teams within Private Investments:

Funds & Secondaries • making primary commitments to private equity funds and secondary purchases of private equity portfolios and focussing on large and middle-market buyout funds

Principal Investing • co-sponsorships and co-investments in private equity transactions, including all non-Canadian investments undertaken alongside our general partners

Infrastructure • making direct investments in global infrastructure assets and often working in concern with strong consortia of partners

Private Debt • making direct investments in leveraged loan, high yield, mezzanine and other debt solutions and focussing on event-driven transactions

What do we offer you?

For those just starting out in their careers, we offer a rare opportunity to join a large buy-side platform directly out of an undergraduate or MBA program and the intellectual challenge of acting as a principal investor rather than as a financial or business advisor. 

Our international exposure provides a unique opportunity to have an international investing career in Canada.  In our London and Hong Kong offices, our professionals have the opportunity to be associated with a premiere Canadian pension fund and to participate in growing out the business in those markets.

We take pride in our culture –collegial, team-based, non-hierarchical and with no expectation of “face time.”  There is the opportunity to take on significant responsibility and to work on high-profile transactions.  All deal team members – regardless of level – are encouraged to participate in discussions and decisions.

We make a significant contribution to continually developing our talent and invest in professional development through training in a formalized setting as well as in continuous on-the-job mentoring from highly experienced colleagues with diverse professional backgrounds.  A selection of backgrounds within our team includes top-tier private equity and hedge funds, investments banks and consulting firms from across the globe.

We are always looking for high-performing investment professionals to join our team as Analysts, Associates, Principals and Senior Principals.  If you possess creativity, intellectual curiosity and have a passion for global investing, then we want to hear from you!
