MONTREAL, March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions imposed under
the Special Economic Measures Act, in order to respond to the gravity of
Russia's violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and
grave human rights violations that have resulted, the Public Sector Pension
Investment Board (PSP Investments) states that:
Logo -
PSP Investments does not have material exposure to Russian investments and does
not hold any private direct investments in Russia. The exposure that PSP
Investments has is mainly through passive index replication activities and
external investment manager activities. PSP Investments has taken steps as of
late last week to divest of all its Russian investments. All residual positions
will be written down to zero and PSP Investments is committed to exiting this
market as soon as market conditions permit.
PSP Investments is deeply concerned about the humanitarian impact inflicted by
this situation on the people of Ukraine. As part of our PSP Gives Back Program,
PSP Investments will support the humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine by
partnering with the International Committee of the Red Cross. PSP Investments
has set up a matching donation program and will match employee donations (up to
C$2,000 per employee) toward Ukrainian humanitarian relief.
