AIMCo manages the investments for several insurance-related funds on behalf of provincial arms-length organizations including Workers’ Compensation Board – Alberta, Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation and Agricultural Financial Services Corporation. These funds are invested in accordance with each client’s investment policy, with an emphasis on stability and preservation of capital.

They are invested in fixed income products for stability, liquidity and preservation of capital and have a commensurately lower return expectation.
