OMERS CEO on Long-Term Thinking in a Changing World

Season Four of the OMERS Pension Blueprint podcast recently kicked off with host Celine Chiovitti, OMERS Chief Pension Officer, interviewing Blake Hutcheson, OMERS President and CEO. 

Blake is always worth listening to, he's an eternal optimist and explains why he remains positive on OMERS and Canada.

He explains why everything they do centers around their liabilities and why they have a consistent, high-quality portfolio for the long term. 

Instead of going through this discussion in detail, I urge you to take the time to listen to Blake. He explains it very well.  

I also want to commend Celine Chiovitti for doing these podcasts. It seems easy but it's not. There’s a lot of preparation that goes into them, and she has done a great job.

You can watch more interviews on The Pension Blueprint website here (I have not seen them all but the ones that interest me are all excellent). 

Below, OMERS President and CEO Blake Hutcheson returns to The Pension Blueprint to share his perspective on navigating global economic and political uncertainty, the importance of diversification and long-term thinking, and why OMERS is seeing greater investment opportunities here in Canada. 

He also discusses the value of a defined benefit pension in uncertain times and how OMERS remains focused on delivering its pension promise for members today and for generations to come.

Also, Paul Tudor Jones, Tudor Investment Corporation founder and CIO and Robin Hood Foundation founder and board member, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the latest market trends, 2027 outlook, state of the AI boom, AI safety concerns, and more. 

I will admit that October has been rocky thus far, but I take everything Tudor Jones and Ray Dalio warn about on CNBC with a grain of salt. There are tons of great trading opportunities out there if you know where to look. Let's see what earnings season brings our way.
