Stephen Pincus interviewed in "Perspectives on the Canadian SPAC Market", Insight Information's CAiP
Stephen Pincus was recently interviewed by Insight Information's CAiP for his perspectives on the Canadian SPAC Market:
While the U.S. market for SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) experienced rapid growth in 2020, activity in the Canadian market has been more subdued. Despite the disparities in activity levels with the U.S. market, some industry participants believe the Canadian market is well positioned for growth. Stephen Pincus, a lawyer and partner with Goodmans LLP in Toronto, has been involved with Canadian SPACs since the structure’s local inception. Canadian Alternative Investments for Pensions (CAiP) recently asked him for his thoughts on the market’s condition, outlook and SPAC’s possible role in pension plan investments.
