The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Canada is attracting new interest from the world's largest investors and has a chance to grab a bigger share of foreign capital, the boss of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board says. The Globe's James Bradshaw writes that just last week, CPPIB chief executive officer John Graham hosted two "extremely large foreign investors" who wanted a primer from him on Canada's investing landscape. "They have capital and they're curious. And this week I'm hosting another one," Mr. Graham told The Globe after speaking at an event in Toronto. Of late, he has found that the tone of those conversations has been different. These large investors hail from Asia and the Middle East, and until now, many of them "haven't done a lot here," he said. Mr. Graham has travelled abroad to meet investors for years and found that their portfolios consistently underweighted Canada, which was overshadowed by the vast market next door in the United States. "Canada just hasn't been on the radar." Now, with tariffs and economic instability shaking even the most established investment markets, Canada is drawing interest for its relative predictability, its natural resources and energy infrastructure.
