GPFA Annual Meeting - Keynote Speaker Jim Keohane

When our Global Peer Financing Association (GPFA) Chair, Robert Goobie CPA CMA first had the idea to collaborate with other global pensions to found an industry association focused on securities financing for the buyside, by the buyside, he turned to Jim Keohane for support.

Five years later, and with well over US$12 trillion in assets represented in the room, this week our members had the pleasure of hearing Jim Keohane share his perspectives on pension management and how securities financing plays a key role in achieving investment goals.

Jim Keohane is the former President & CEO of HOOPP (Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan) and is currently a member of the Board of Directors for the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) and Trans-Canada Capital.

Jim Keohane, we thank you for taking your time this week to meet with our members in Montreal, but more importantly we thank you for your support and vision many years ago in believing pensions would benefit from joining together to advance our marketplace. 🙏🙏

Thank you also to Charles Lesaux, MBA for introducing Jim Keohane as this year’s Annual Meeting Keynote Speaker. And lastly, thank you to our Chair, Robert Goobie CPA CMA for leading Jim Keohane in an engaging discussion.

We can’t wait to see where we will all be and how much we will have grown five years from now!
