CPP Investments

CPP Investments, established in 1997, is a professional investment management organization based in Toronto, Canada. Its primary mandate is to invest the assets of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) to ensure its long-term viability and maximize returns for contributors and beneficiaries. The organization manages funds not immediately required for pension, disability, and survivor benefits, thus helping to provide financial security for approximately 18 million Canadians in retirement. The investment portfolio is diversified across various asset classes, including public and private equities, real estate, infrastructure, government bonds, and credit. CPP Investments was established in response to demographic shifts that threatened the sustainability of the CPP, and it operates with a commitment to manage these funds prudently and effectively.
