Description

About AGF:
Founded in 1957, AGF Management Limited is an independent and globally diverse asset management firm.

AGF brings a disciplined approach to delivering excellence in investment management through its fundamental, quantitative, private capital, and high-net-worth businesses.

Our suite of diverse investment solutions extends globally to a wide range of clients, from individual investors and financial advisors to institutions, including pension plans, corporate plans, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations.

Our commitment to the principles of good stewardship and responsible investment is a positive differentiator for AGF.

We believe integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into our investment decision-making and ownership practices across platforms will help deliver better investment outcomes to our clients.

About the Team:

Through a centralized approach to global compliance, AGF ensures that each registered entity in its group of companies has the appropriate compliance framework and program in place to manage overall regulatory risk.

The compliance team is responsible for developing, implementing and reporting on the global compliance program. Although specific regulatory obligations vary by jurisdiction, in principle they address similar requirements and have similar risk implications.

As such, while each AGF entity maintains its own specific policies and procedures tailored to its specific business, process and jurisdictional regulatory requirements and risks, efforts are made to align all AGF entities' policies and procedures where possible.
