CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
ESG INTEGRATION
RPIA ACE PROGRAM Launched in 2022, the RPIA Academic and Community Empowerment (ACE) Program is a focused scholarship initiative that helps create pathways into the investment industry for students from underrepresented groups across Canada. Through partnerships with leading Canadian business schools, ACE supports high-potential students who have faced systemic barriers to entry, while strengthening a long-term pipeline of junior talent for the industry. Each ACE scholarship recognizes academic excellence and future promise, grounded in our commitment to giving back and to expanding access where opportunity has not been equitably distributed. Once the scholarships are awarded, we connect directly with recipients to welcome them into our community through meetings with our team, office tours, and opportunities to gain career insights. In doing so, we aim to pair financial support with real-world exposure, networks, and encouragement as students take their next steps into the industry.
