The $1.1 billion Print Super will review the limits on international investments which remain in its fund rules.
Chief executive of Print Super, Ross Martin, said the limits on offshore exposure varied between each member investment choice option, but at the plan level overseas assets are restricted to roughly 30 per cent. Print Super’s asset consultant, Mercer, had done some work looking at the implications of the longstanding limits across all asset classes, including property and infrastructure, Martin said. The board of the public offer fund will meet on August 30 to consider changing, or perhaps even abolishing the offshore restrictions.

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”.
