Private equity

OMERS Private Equity continues to build a portfolio of private equity investments diversified by geographic market and industry sector. Historically, the majority of the investments made were as a limited partner in a private equity fund. Recently, OMERS Private Equity’s investment strategy has evolved to focus primarily on active direct investing whereby OMERS Private Equity holds a significant interest in investments and as such will influence the management of the investment. OMERS Private Equity is building on its success in Canada by pursuing active direct investment opportunities around the world with emphasis on North America and Europe.

OMERS Private Equity’s investment strategy involves establishing meaningful partnerships with private companies, either directly or indirectly through international private equity funds. For active direct investments, the principal focus of our strategy going forward is to look at companies that are well managed and in need of both capital investment and strategic support to grow their businesses. For private equity funds, we are seeking partners with a strong and reputable investment team that has demonstrated a track record to expand the global reach and diversification of our active direct investments.
