RBC Global Asset Management selected by mission-led Canadian investors as multi-asset winner at first-ever Great Canadian ESG Championship

Toronto, November 10, 2022 – RBC Global Asset Management Inc. (RBC GAM Inc.) is pleased to announce that PH&N Institutional, the Canadian institutional business division within RBC GAM Inc., has been selected as one of the winners in the multi-asset category at the inaugural Great Canadian ESG Championship.

Earlier this year, PH&N Institutional was one of 60 Canadian asset managers to participate in the Great Canadian ESG Championship, a competition where investment managers pitched proposals to win part of an investment mandate from nine Canadian institutional investors (six foundations, two trusts and one university) across three categories: alternatives, multi-asset, and equity and/or fixed income. The objective of the proposals was to deliver reasonable long-term financial returns while maximizing impact on social and environmental sustainability.

The co-investors, alongside ESG and finance experts, Millani and Normandin Beaudry, selected the seven winners based on a demonstrated ability to integrate ESG considerations in their investment process, to convey investment views through thoughtful and active stewardship, as well as to provide transparent and meaningful disclosure.

“We are honoured to have been selected by these mission-led asset owners to manage a portion of their investment mandate based on the merits of our approach to responsible investment,” said Melanie Adams, vice president and head, Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment, RBC Global Asset Management. “At RBC Global Asset Management, a key pillar of our investment process is being an active, engaged and responsible investor. Ultimately, we believe this approach serves to enhance the long-term, risk-adjusted performance of our portfolios. PH&N Institutional’s accomplishment at the Great Canadian ESG Championship reflects our firm’s commitment to responsible investment and our ability to leverage the strength of our investment teams to provide thoughtful offerings for clients that meet a wide range of objectives.”
