A Message from 
Our Chair of the Board 
and Global Chief 
Executive Officer
Jean-Guy Desjardins
Chair of the Board 
and Global Chief Executive Officer1 
Fiera Capital entered 2024 with clarity on its 
priorities and continued to make steady progress in 
positioning the firm for long-term growth. This past 
year was one of measured execution, disciplined 
investment and structural reinforcement. Across our 
platform, our teams worked to adapt with focus, 
deliver consistent investment results and deepen 
client relationships in a shifting market environment. 
Our global assets under management (AUM) grew to 
$167.1 billion by the end of 2024, representing an increase of 
$5.4 billion compared to the previous year. This growth reflects 
not only the performance of our investment strategies but also 
the benefits of ongoing business stability and our diversified 
investment platform. We maintained solid financial footing while 
investing in systems, people and client-facing infrastructure. 
The Public Markets division remains our largest and most 
significant engine. It continues to demonstrate scale, depth and 
resilience across multiple geographies and asset classes. In 2024, 
we saw meaningful net new mandates in Canadian, U.S. and 
global equities, as well as continued strength in our flagship fixed 
income offerings. These results reflect the disciplined, research-
driven approach of our investment teams and the consistent 
execution of our investment process. Our platform remains 
competitive in both relative and absolute performance terms, 
and we continue to see growing demand for our strategies. 
Private Markets also contributed to our progress in 2024. AUM 
in this division reached $19.7 billion, a 6.5 percent increase 
over the prior year. Though it represents a smaller share of 
total AUM, Private Markets generated roughly 35 percent of 
total revenue in 2024. Growth was driven by new allocations 
across private credit, agriculture, real estate and infrastructure 
strategies. Capital deployment remained disciplined, and we 
maintained a robust investment pipeline heading into 2025.

Our Private Wealth division gained momentum in 2024, with assets 
under management reaching $14.6 billion. By leveraging the full 
depth of our platform, we continue to strengthen relationships with 
clients and position Fiera as a trusted partner in wealth management. 
We continued to expand our regional distribution model, with new 
leadership roles and local market engagement in key areas, including 
Europe, Asia and the Middle East. This structure brings us closer to 
our clients and allows for more effective coverage, service and insight 
at the regional level. It also creates accountability and ownership at 
the point of client interaction, a shift that is already yielding better 
traction in client relationships. 
In June 2024, senior management and certain directors acquired 
the equity position previously held by Desjardins. This transaction 
reflects alignment between our leadership and our long-term 
strategy. It also ensures that decision-making remains concentrated 
among those who are closest to the business, invested in its success 
and accountable for its outcomes. 
Throughout 2024, our teams demonstrated commitment, 
professionalism and resilience. Investment professionals across 
asset classes delivered performance within a wide range of market 
conditions. Operational teams continued to support the firm’s global 
scale with care and precision. Our client-facing professionals drove 
meaningful conversations and new mandates, even in a competitive 
and cautious environment. 
To our clients, we thank you for your trust and continued partnership. 
To our shareholders, we appreciate your support and long-term 
confidence in our model. To the Fiera Capital team, your oversight, 
strategic input and engagement remain vital to our continued progress. 
Fiera Capital entered 2025 with a focused agenda. We are continuing 
to pursue organic growth, cost discipline and operational improvement. 
Our investment philosophy remains consistent, grounded in evidence-
based decision-making, rigorous research, and the belief that 
performance must be earned over time, not promised in advance.
Thank you for your confidence.

Enterprise Risk Management 
Our Enterprise Risk Management function aims to 
implement a framework that aligns with strategic 
objectives and fosters a culture of risk awareness. 
The framework is intended to provide a structured 
approach to risk-taking and management and is 
communicated through risk policies and standards. 
In collaboration with Fiera Capital’s other risk 
programs, it is designed to embed risk management 
activities into all decision-making processes, 
including identification, assessment, treatment and 
monitoring of risks. 
Internal Controls 
Fiera Capital’s Internal Controls function 
provides objective assurance and partners 
with the business to enhance the effectiveness 
and efficiency of the organization’s control 
environment and operations. 
By adopting a holistic and integrated approach, it 
drives accountability and integrity. The Internal 
Controls function facilitates the regulatory 
requirements for the National Instrument 52-109 
Certification on behalf of management. The Chair 
of the Board and Global Chief Executive Officer and 
the Executive Director, Global Chief Financial Officer, 
together with management, are required to establish 
and maintain a system of effective Internal Control 
over Financial Reporting (ICFR) and Disclosure 
Controls and Procedures (DC&P) to provide 
stakeholders with assurance regarding the reliability 
of our financial reporting and the preparation 
of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). 
The Internal Controls function also conducts other 
advisory projects to provide recommendations on 
business process improvements and optimization, to 
support management’s decision-making. 
Compliance 
Fiera Capital is committed to satisfying its legal and 
regulatory obligations, both in letter and in spirit. 
To this end, we have implemented a globally 
consistent compliance framework that aligns with 
regulatory requirements and we mandate ethical 
conduct across all jurisdictions in which we operate. 
The program targets efficiency and scalability and 
is risk-based, ensuring effective oversight as our 
business grows. The Compliance function operates 
with independence, providing objective challenges 
while concurrently partnering with our global 
business teams. 
Cybersecurity 
Fiera Capital has established a comprehensive 
global cybersecurity program, integrating people, 
processes, technology and information, guided by 
global information security policies and robust 
risk management. 
Led by the office of Global Chief Information Security 
Officer and overseen by Fiera Capital’s Security 
Governance Committee (FSGC), which includes 
executive leadership, this defensive in-depth program 
ensures our security practices adhere to the NIST 
Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), incorporate the 
CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS) and align with 
the ISO/IEC 27001/2 standards. The Audit and Risk 
Management Committee plays a crucial role in governing 
the cybersecurity program, providing oversight to ensure 
accountability and strategic alignment. 
Cybersecurity risks are factored into our enterprise 
risk management framework, and Fiera Capital 
ensures effective oversight and management of 
cybersecurity risks through proactive mitigating 
controls and appropriate insurance coverage. 
A comprehensive third-party risk management 
framework is in place to gain assurance of 
cybersecurity measures within our supply chain and 
vendor ecosystem.

new initiatives and other statements that do not refer to 
historical facts. 
Forward-looking statements may include comments 
on Fiera Capital’s objectives, strategies to achieve these 
objectives, expected financial results or dividends, and 
the outlook for Fiera Capital’s businesses as well as for 
the Canadian, American, European, Asian and other global 
economies. Such statements reflect management’s current 
beliefs and are based on factors and assumptions it considers 
to be reasonable based on information currently available

typically be identified by word or expressions such as 
“assumption”, “continue”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “goal”, 
“guidance”, “likely”, “plan”, “objective”, “outlook”, “potential”,

“seek”, “should”, “strive” and “would”. 
Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, are

expectations conclusions or statements will not prove to be 
accurate. As a result, Fiera Capital does not guarantee that 
any forward-looking statement will materialize and readers

not be appropriate for other purposes. 
A number of important risk factors and uncertainties, many 
of which are beyond Fiera Capital’s control, could cause 
actual events, performance or results to differ materially 
from the predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations, 
conclusions or statements expressed in such forward-
looking statements which include, without limitation: risks 
related to investment performance and investment of the 
assets under management, assets under management 
concentration related to strategies sub-advised by

risks, ownership structure and potential dilution and other 
risks and uncertainties described in Fiera Capital’s Annual 
Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024
