Alberta Advantage

The Alberta Investment Management Corp. (AIMCo) is one of the most influential private equity investors in the world because of its heft ($71 billion in total assets) but, more importantly, because of its pioneering model of corporate governance and its increasing focus on directinvestment within the private capital asset classes. Leading AIMCo is the outspoken Leo de Bever, who in an exclusive interview with Privcap shared his thoughts on Canada’s natural resources opportunity, his organization’s ambitions as a direct investor, and the importance of separating politics from investing.
