ARTA has received many inquiries regarding the proposed
legislative amendment to make Alberta Investment Management
Corporation (AIMCo) the exclusive investment manager of
the Alberta Teachers’ Retirement Fund (ATRF). ARTA has
endeavoured to collect and share pertinent information on
this amendment and has posted it on our website (arta.net/
advocacy/advocacy-resources/atrf-investment-
mangement-change/) for all of our retired teacher members
to view. As further details become available, we will continue to
share any relevant information with you.
