CDPQ's allocation to private equity is the global market’s fourth largest, according to Private Equity International’s Global Investor 100.

Canada's fourth-largest pension is aiming to split its PE portfolio equally between direct deals and fund investments.

Silver Lake Partners VI will write equity checks of up to $1.25bn, pension documents show.

PSP's new PE strategy, led by global head of private equity Simon Marc, has disbursed C$26.2bn globally since its launch five years ago.

Following a significant re-weighting of CDPQ's private equity portfolio, direct investing represents more than three-quarters of all activity.

Nicole Musicco has left the C$63bn Investment Management Corp of Ontario which helps public sector funds scale and gain access to private-market investments.
