Real Assets Investment Management has merged with United Investment Counsel, a BC-based institutional investment management company closely associated with the labour community. The new company will continue under the Real Assets name, providing products and services for individuals, charitable foundations, pension funds and trusts and the national trade union market. It will enable Real Assets to reach the national union community through its affiliation with Working Enterprises. Real Assets was launched in 2000 by Vancouver City Savings Credit Union (VanCity) and Renewal Partners, a Vancouver seed capital firm that focuses on social impact business ventures. The Working Enterprises Group of Companies, which includes United Investment Counsel, is a BC-based company owned by the Canadian labour community. The merger, announced Feb. 12, “will combine Real Assets’ reputation and innovative products with Working Enterprises’ national trade union market and access to VanCity’s reputation,” said Real Assets founder and President, Deb Abbey.
