Built for times
like these

In an uncertain world, Canadians want a pension fund they can count on. That’s why the CPP Fund was designed to support millions of people in retirement.


At CPP Investments, we have built a robust, well-diversified and stable portfolio — investing across asset types in Canada and around the world to create long-term value for Canadians. Through market cycles, our steady investment approach supports the long-term financial strength of the CPP Fund.

Retirement
security for
generations

Every three years, the Office of the Chief Actuary reviews the CPP’s long-term sustainability. Its latest report projects that the CPP will remain sustainable for at least the next 75 years — with the CPP Fund projected to reach $3 trillion by 2050.

Reaching new heights

In 2025, the CPP Fund surpassed $700 billion — and it continues to deliver real value for millions of Canadians.


All investment departments contributed to the $59.8 billion in net income we earned for the CPP Fund this fiscal year — one of the highest levels recorded in our history. Our net return of 9.3% reflects the strength of our strategy and the resilience of our diversified portfolio.

One of the world’s leading pension funds

Our work makes a difference. Since we began investing, we’ve generated $492.1 billion in cumulative net income. That’s long-term financial strength for Canadians — made possible with the help of CPP Investments. In fact, in 2024, about six million Canadians received CPP benefits.


The CPP Fund has once again been ranked by Global SWF, a pension industry specialist, as one of the top-performing global pension funds based on 10-year returns (2015 to 2024).
