IMCO was created to deliver dynamic, cost-efficient investing solutions for public sector pensions and investment funds in Ontario. Through asset pooling, funds can reduce investment management costs and access a broader range of investment strategies, which help to improve returns and ultimately sustain pension and benefit security for Ontarians.
In 2016, IMCO was created through the Investment Management Corporation of Ontario Act. In 2017, IMCO began to manage assets on behalf of its initial clients, becoming one of Canada's largest institutional investors.
