DOHA, Qatar and LONDON and MONTREAL, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Qatar Investment Authority ("QIA") and Fiera Capital Corporation (TSX: FSZ) ("Fiera Capital") today announced the launch of the Fiera Qatar Equity Strategy ("the Strategy"). Fiera Capital is a leading independent asset management firm with approximately USD 112.3bn in assets as of 31 March 2025. With USD200m in assets under management, the Strategy aims to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns by investing in equities listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange ("QSE"). The Strategy - structured as a daily-dealing mutual strategy - will be available to international and local institutions desiring actively-managed exposure to Qatar's equity market. QIA is acting as the Strategy's anchor investor, contributing capital in the form of cash and stock. QIA remains a committed long-term investor in the Qatar equity market and the reallocation of QSE-listed company shares reflects a desire to enhance Qatar's economic landscape and market liquidity. Mohammed Saif Al-Sowaidi, CEO of QIA said, "It is part of QIA's mandate to support the development of a competitive Qatari economy. Attracting overseas asset managers to invest in Qatar equity will fuel market participation and help to diversify and broaden the market. The Fiera Capital Strategy launch is an exciting second partnership in our Active Asset Management Initiative and builds on QIA's commitment to support Qatar's financial markets". Klaus Schuster, Executive Director and CEO, Fiera Capital EMEA, commented, "To be selected by QIA to manage its capital reflects confidence in our equity investment capabilities and track record. Now, we must put this capital to work, managing it prudently and in alignment with QIA's long-term objectives."
