Borealis renamed OMERS Infrastructure Management

TORONTO — Borealis Infrastructure, the infrastructure investment advisory and management arm of OMERS, the Canadian-based pension plan for Ontario’s municipal employees, has announced it will now operate as OMERS Infrastructure Management Inc.

OMERS Private Markets, including OMERS Infrastructure and OMERS Private Equity, invests in infrastructure and private equity assets on behalf of OMERS, explains a recent media statement.

"The name OMERS Infrastructure helps the global marketplace recognize our direct connection to the more than 470,000 members of OMERS, on behalf of whom we manage a portfolio of investment assets," said Michael Rolland, chief investment officer, OMERS Private Markets.

OMERS investments in infrastructure via Borealis began in 1999. OMERS has more than $85 billion in total assets.
