Jo Taylor, CEO of the $255-billion Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, said he is actively eyeing the continent for investment opportunities, including “active private markets” such as debt, private equity and infrastructure. “I’m a great believer in going to hunt where the others don’t want to tread,” he said.

Talking point: Taylor’s remarks, made on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, come as the OTPP has pumped sizable investments into U.S. assets in recent years.
