La Caisse Infrastructure Remains  ‘Pillar of Stability’ Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty
AI Article Summary

La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec reported a 4.6% return in the first half of the year, surpassing its benchmark portfolio despite geopolitical uncertainties. Infrastructure investments, especially in transportation assets, were key to this stability, even though they underperformed the benchmark index's 8.1% gain. Real estate returns were lower, affected by higher interest rates, but logistics sectors showed favorable prospects. Over five years, the pension fund's infrastructure portfolio performed well, aided by investments in renewable energy and telecommunications.
