Stephen Harper Named Chairman of Alberta Investment Management Corporation

The former prime minister takes on the role pro bono following a major overhaul of AIMCo's leadership.

Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister of Canada, has been appointed as the chairman of AIMCo, Alberta's public-sector pension fund manager.
The appointment comes after the Alberta government dismissed the entire AIMCo board and four senior executives on November 7 due to rising costs without improved returns.
Harper will lead a newly reconstituted board, aiming to restore confidence and stability in AIMCo's operations.
Concerns about potential conflicts of interest have been raised due to Harper's business affiliations and past investment pitches to AIMCo.
The Alberta government has set an ambitious goal to grow the Heritage Savings Trust Fund to over $250 billion in 25 years, with Harper providing governance oversight.
