Our Investment Strategy
Our strategy is structured to be resilient in the face of wide ranging market and economic conditions. It covers all major asset classes, addresses significant risk factors, and encompasses approximately 30 distinct investment programs.
Sustainable Investing
We firmly believe that organizations that manage environmental, social and governance factors effectively are more likely to endure and create more value over the long term than those that do not.
Active Management
We believe that an active and adaptive approach to managing the portfolio is essential to preserving and growing assets in ever-changing capital markets – and in achieving greater returns over the long term.

CPP Investments invests globally across a wide range of asset classes through both passive and active investing. Passive index-weighted investments require limited maintenance and appreciate over time with some predictability. Active investments require skilled management and offer the potential to achieve risk-adjusted returns above those expected for passive investing in public markets.
Our overall investment strategy is comprised of three key elements: the CPP Reference Portfolio, Value-Adding Active Management and Total Portfolio Approach.
