Investment thesis

The Canada Growth Fund deploys risk-absorbing investment instruments to catalyze private capital into Canada's clean economy, backing low-carbon projects, technologies, companies and supply chains. Through its clean-technology fund strategy it aims to build a durable ecosystem of Canadian growth asset managers by anchoring a select group of promising funds, helping them reach target size, lead larger transactions and mobilize additional private capital. This strengthens Canada's capital chain, deepens the domestic growth-equity investment ecosystem and enables more Canadian cleantech leaders to scale at home. The fund emphasizes the energy transition, energy efficiency, resource optimization, low-carbon mobility, agricultural resilience and the circular economy.
