CALGARY — Alberta Investment Management Corp. (AIMCo) is opening its first Asian office, but the Edmonton-based fund manager says it will steer well clear of China to focus instead on markets with less geopolitical risk.

The official opening Tuesday of AIMCo's new Singapore office marks the first foray into the Asia-Pacific region for what is one of Canada's largest institutional investors, with $158 billion of assets under management as of 2022.

But Siddall said Asia is important, as many countries there have economic growth that's outstripping that of the U.S and Europe. AIMCo is lagging behind many other Canadian institutional investors when it comes to establishing a foothold in Asia. A report by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada found that between 2003 and 2017, Canadian pension funds invested $25 billion in the region.

According to a Reuters report earlier this month, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has laid off at least five employees at its Hong Kong office as it steps back from deals in China.

Marketmind: China's weak property stocks set the paceA light calendar for Europe today means markets are likely to take their cues from Asia, and there's a lot going on - particularly in China. Property shares are taking a beating after weekend data showed new home sales in China's biggest cities slumped by half in the first week of this month. Country Garden, China's biggest private developer, added to pressure on the sector at the centre of the country's economic woes as it faces a new round of voting by creditors - the third this month - to avert default, in this case by extending debt repayments to onshore creditors by three years.
