TORONTO, Dec. 9, 2025 /CNW/ - IFM Investors today announced the opening of a Toronto office, marking a significant milestone in the firm's expanding global footprint and reinforcing its long-term commitment to Canada.
The global private markets manager, founded by Australian superannuation funds, is one of the largest infrastructure investors in the world, with assets under management of approximately AUS$263.6b (C C$242b), as of October 2025, on behalf of more than 800 institutional investors worldwide.
Across Canada, IFM serves more than 200 institutional clients, representing approximately C$14.4 billion in funds under management (FUM). The Toronto office will improve local service and coordination and unlock new growth opportunities across Canadian markets.
