The newly merged NGS Super fund has dropped Bernstein from its international equities lineup following a review of its portfolio last month.
The review also resulted in the termination of a $190 million mandate with National Capital Alliance and a $37 million investment in the Lazard Global Equities Fund as previously reported in the December issue of Investment & Technology magazine. Broad global shares mandates held by BGI and Morgan Stanley have been retained, as well as an emerging markets mandates held by Colonial and a smaller companies mandate held by Goldman Sachs JB Were. According to Colin McGuinness, NGS Super chief executive officer, transition of the sector began last month and was recently completed.

Investments
Canada has established its first national-level sovereign wealth fund with a seed of C$25 billion to underwrite “nation-building” projects like ports, mines and energy infrastructure. In an unusual funding mechanism, the fund will issue a retail product that will allow individual investors to invest with the SWF and “participate in Canada’s growth”.
