Abstrakt: This paper investigates the investment strategy that large Canadian pension funds implement in the private real estate market. Even though they manage just 6% of global pension assets in our data, Canadian pension funds are responsible for 60% of the total value of private real estate deals that directly involve a pension fund. A key component of their strategy consists of internally developing and greening urban properties in core downtown areas. Using a common benchmarking methodology across funds, we show that this impact strategy delivers superior performance net of fees and drives the green development of major city centers.
