Jim Leech, president and chief executive officer at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, discusses the state of the pension fund industry and how his fund’s unique investing approach and governance style have enabled it to capitalize on opportunities and avoid some of the troubles the industry currently faces.
Over the past two decades, the story of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan has spawned a growing number of investment institutions explicitly based on Peter Drucker’s design principles. These institutions, according to Keith Ambachtsheer, are our best hope for articulating and implementing the truly long-horizon, wealth-creating investment programs that workers everywhere will rely on for their future prosperity.
