What believers are saying

  • June 2026 assets reached C$320.6 billion, up 7%, supporting larger hiring and deployment.
  • September 2026 Ares logistics JV targets up to C$2.4 billion in cash-flowing U.S. assets.
  • June 2026 ECHO Realty and August 2026 H&R deals deepen income-oriented real estate exposure.

What critics are saying

  • Fiscal 2026 real estate returned negative 7.3%, dragging results below benchmark by 5.2 points.
  • Ottawa’s September 2026 summit pushed PSP to add C$25 billion in Canada, risking mandate drift.
  • Persistent real estate weakness and underperformance erode credibility; sustained slippage invites political scrutiny before 2027.

What makes PSP Investments unique

  • PSP manages C$320.6 billion for federal pensions, not external clients, enabling patient capital.
  • Its global platform spans infrastructure, private equity, real estate, credit, and natural resources.
  • PSP co-owns complex assets with TPG, Ares, Blackstone, La Caisse, and Norges.

Surge Copper's Berg project selected for Canada Investment Summit Dealbook.

Surge Copper's Berg project selected for Canada Investment Summit Dealbook. Vancouver, British Columbia, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV: SURG) (OTCQB: SRGXF) (Frankfurt: G6D2) ("Surge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its 100%-owned Berg Copper Project ("Berg" or the "Project") has been selected for inclusion in the 2026 Canada Investment Summit Dealbook, an initiative to showcase Canadian investment opportunities to leading global investors as part of the Government of Canada's broader strategy to attract new investment into the country. The inaugural Canada Investment Summit (the "Summit") will take place September 14-15, 2026, in Toronto and will bring together some of the world's largest investors, Canadian business leaders, and public sector representatives. Hosted by the Government of Canada in partnership with CPP Investments and PSP Investments, the Summit is intended to attract new investment into major Canadian projects, strategic industries, and related infrastructure, with a focus on areas including critical minerals, clean energy, and advanced technologies. The Summit forms part of the Government of Canada's broader strategy to catalyse $1 trillion of total investment in Canada over the next five years. Berg was chosen as one of a select group of investment opportunities from British Columbia to be showcased through the Canada Investment Summit Dealbook. In confirming Berg's selection, the Honourable Ravi Kahlon, British Columbia's Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth, noted that the selection reflects the strength of the project and its potential to contribute to British Columbia's economic growth, innovation, and global competitiveness. Leif Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Africa Energy Industry is very pleased to have Berg selected for inclusion in the Canada Investment Summit Dealbook. The Summit represents an ambitious effort by the Government of Canada and its institutional partners to attract some of the world's largest pools of capital to major investment opportunities in Canada. Africa Energy Industry believe Berg's selection reflects both the scale and quality of the project and its potential importance within Canada's emerging critical minerals investment landscape. "Canada has an opportunity to become an increasingly important supplier of the critical minerals required by a changing global economy. Large-scale, long-life copper projects in stable jurisdictions will be essential to meeting that demand, and Berg has the potential to make a meaningful contribution. We appreciate the recognition from the Governments of British Columbia and Canada and look forward to the opportunities that may emerge from this initiative." The Berg Copper Project is a large-scale copper-molybdenum-silver-gold development project located in central British Columbia. The Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Project in June 2026 outlining an approximately 28-year mine life and average annual production of approximately 176 million pounds of copper, 21 million pounds of molybdenum, and 3 million ounces of silver, and an after-tax NPV8% of C$4.6 billion. The Company is currently advancing feasibility-level technical work, environmental baseline studies, and engagement activities in support of the continued development of the Project. Full results of the Prefeasibility Study, including economic assumptions, sensitivities, mineral reserve estimates, and other technical information, are available in the Company's June 15, 2026 news release and the related technical report filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ and available on the Company's website. Additional information regarding the Canada Investment Summit is available through the Prime Minister of Canada's April 17, 2026 announcement and the Government of Canada's Summit website. Qualified Persons Dr. Shane Ebert, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person for the Berg Copper Project and the Ootsa Project as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release. Dr. Ebert is an Officer and a Director of Surge and is not independent of the Company. About Surge Copper Corp. Surge Copper Corp. is a Canadian resource company advancing one of British Columbia's emerging copper districts. The Company's 100%-owned Berg Copper Project hosts a large-scale copper-molybdenum-silver deposit in central British Columbia supported by a Pre-Feasibility Study and Mineral Reserve estimate that define a development pathway for a long-life copper project with significant molybdenum, silver, and gold by-product production. In addition to the Berg deposit, Surge controls a large, contiguous mineral claim package that includes multiple advanced porphyry deposits, including the Ox and Seel deposits adjacent to the past-producing Huckleberry Mine. Collectively, the Company's assets position Surge as a potential long-term contributor to Canada's critical minerals strategy through the responsible development of copper, molybdenum, and associated metals.

ADIA, PSP Investments buy $16.3M stake in SG Mart as shares rise 5%

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and PSP Investments acquired a combined 1.68% stake in SG Mart for ₹138 crore on 14 July. ADIA purchased 11.23 lakh shares (0.89% stake) for approximately ₹72.99 crore at ₹650 per share, whilst PSP Investments bought 10 lakh shares (0.79% stake) for ₹64.99 crore at ₹649.98 per share. The building materials solutions provider's shares rose 5% to close at ₹654.15 on the National Stock Exchange following the transaction. The institutional buying coincided with HR Global Manufacturing's exit, which sold a 1.74% stake worth ₹143 crore. HR Global subsequently acquired shares in Yatharth Hospital & Trauma Care Services for ₹40.73 crore, suggesting portfolio rebalancing rather than concerns about SG Mart's fundamentals.
