Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is becoming more selective about financing AI-related projects, citing excessive valuations and complex financing arrangements, Bloomberg reported Nov. 3, as cited by Private Equity Wire.

CPPIB named fund finance and net-asset-value lending as opportunities.

For allocators evaluating private-credit pitches, the report names a concrete checklist: valuation marks and financing complexity in AI credit, while fund finance and NAV lending are the plan's stated opportunities.
