OPTrust’s Australian Push

The Australian government’s asset privatization program, and the rebalancing of the economy away from the mining sector towards more general industries, means big opportunities for private equity and private capital, Canadian pension giant OPTrust’s Sydney-based managing director Stan Kolenc tells Privcap. The fund, which has close to $15 billion in assets under management, opened a Sydney office in 2013 to target infrastructure and private equity investments.
