PSP Investments' Statement on Divestment from Russian Holdings
MONTREAL, March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions imposed under

Russia's violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and 
grave human rights violations that have resulted, the Public Sector Pension

PSP Investments does not have material exposure to Russian investments and does 
not hold any private direct investments in Russia. The exposure that PSP 
Investments has is mainly through passive index replication activities and 
external investment manager activities. PSP Investments has taken steps as of 
late last week to divest of all its Russian investments. All residual positions 
will be written down to zero and PSP Investments is committed to exiting this 
market as soon as market conditions permit. 

PSP Investments is deeply concerned about the humanitarian impact inflicted by 
this situation on the people of Ukraine. As part of our PSP Gives Back Program, 
PSP Investments will support the humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine by 
partnering with the International Committee of the Red Cross. PSP Investments 
has set up a matching donation program and will match employee donations (up to 
C$2,000 per employee) toward Ukrainian humanitarian relief.
