QICI tailors its investment advisory services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions of each
client account as set forth in the investment management agreement, limited partnership agreement, private
placement memorandum, or other relevant governing document. With respect to collective investment
vehicle clients managed by QICI, investors generally will not have the ability to individually impose restrictions
on the management of such vehicles. Furthermore, such vehicles are not tailored to address the specific
investment objectives of any specific investor.
As of June 30, 2023, the QICI’s Regulatory Assets Under Management were approximately US$5.2 billion
managed on a discretionary basis, and US$3 billion managed on a non-discretionary basis.
QIC has established a Sustainable Investment Policy through which it seeks to integrate environmental, social
and governance (ESG) considerations into its investment process subject to its fiduciary obligations and
applicable laws and regulation. Depending on the asset class and investment strategy, and in accordance
with a client’s investment guidelines, QIC investment teams will weigh relevant ESG factors in their
assessment of a specific asset or investment opportunity. Due to the inherent differences across investment
strategies, ESG issues will vary in materiality across asset classes, sectors and industries. QIC’s approach to
incorporating ESG is tailored specifically to each strategy and requires different processes to consider ESG
factors when assessing the risk and return of a particular investment.
