We are guided by the following principles in our actions towards the meaningful engagement and inclusion of Indigenous Peoples:
Respect
and Recognition
We acknowledge and respect the unique cultures, traditions and histories of Indigenous Peoples. We recognize the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples and we commit to conducting ourselves in ways that uphold the dignity and autonomy of these Peoples.
Cultural Sensitivity
and Awareness
We approach interactions with Indigenous communities with cultural sensitivity and humility. We are committed to continuous learning and enhancing our understanding of the diverse cultures, customs and practices of Indigenous Peoples in alignment with our Global Equity and Inclusion Policy and Global Respectful Workplace Policy, as well as the contemporary issues Indigenous communities continue to face today.
To underscore our strong commitment to allyship with Indigenous communities, we conduct annual education sessions on Truth and Reconciliation, equipping employees with essential knowledge and fostering a culture of inclusion and respect.
Engagement
and Collaboration
We commit to supporting the growth and enduring prosperity of Indigenous communities through tailored investment services, strategic recruitment initiatives and financial support to Indigenous students. Through sustained efforts, collaboration and shared initiatives, we aspire to strengthen our relationships with and contribute to the larger process of Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

Honouring Truth and Reconciliation at the CN Tower
We are incredibly grateful to have been invited to take part in this important gathering. The stories shared and the traditions honoured left a lasting impression on all of us.
One of the most meaningful moments was receiving the tobacco tie offerings—a gesture rich in cultural and spiritual significance. Participating in this practice allowed us to reflect more deeply on the day and connect respectfully with Indigenous traditions. We were inspired by the dedication and care that went into organizing such a powerful event. The impact was profound, and we are thankful for the opportunity to stand in solidarity and continue learning.
Coast Funds Great Bear Rainforest Celebration Dinner
Git Hayetsk Dance Group at the Coast Funds Great Bear Rainforest Celebration dinner. Fiera Capital sponsored the dinner, providing support for event management, food, and travel stipends for participating First Nation representatives.
The Great Bear Rainforest Economic Summit, held on Oct. 2, 2025, brought First Nation leaders together for a day of reflection and learning, following over 15 years of collective investment in building a conservation economy on the coast. Since signing the Great Bear Rainforest Agreements in 2006 and securing $60 million in economic development funding, First Nations have invested more than $61 million with Coast Funds in sustainable businesses, community infrastructure and other economic initiatives that have created new jobs and helped diversify coastal economies.
Customized Solutions for
Indigenous Trusts
By working with the trustees to understand the investment objectives, we design custom solutions that account for investment constraints and annual disbursements, while emphasizing capital preservation and inflation protection over the long run.
In our commitment to effectively steward Indigenous communities’ wealth, we promote values-based asset classes when tailoring each investment policy.
Private Markets
Adding alternative asset classes can align with Indigenous Trusts who may have a longer-term investment time horizon.
In addition, alternatives can be beneficial in the medium term to help diversify your portfolio by maximizing the expected return while reducing expected risk over time.
