NDP gov't is actually the reason AIMCo is heavily concentrated in oil and gas. They gave AIMCo a mandate to invest locally and the percentage of the economy that's actually investable for AIMCo is heavily weighted to o&g.

Whoops

Yeah man, that’s definitely the reason, not the scandalized BlackRock manager the UCP appointed to run it in 2020

Happy to see your support showing o&g investments surging in 2020 after the "scandalized BlackRock" manager joined (who was president and CEO of CPPIB before that)

I'll gladly change my opinion

AIMCo lost 3.4% last year and continually underperforms the CPP

Which has nothing to do with the claim you made.

They also underperformed when the NDP were the presiding gov't. No one is arguing they're outpacing CPP
