Our investment team leverages its combined domestic and international expertise, overseeing a strategy that is built on a well-diversified portfolio of investments. This work is crucial in delivering the best risk-adjusted returns to support our members.
How we invest
Our team oversees that strategy with the goal of maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of investments, which will ultimately deliver the best risk-adjusted returns to support our members.
Our investment strategy is set out in the Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (SIP&P).
Our strategic asset mix
The current mix includes four key areas, which is reassessed every three to five years to ensure it remains aligned with the Plan’s Funding Policy and investment goals.
We believe that our long-term success will depend – in part – on our well-diversified portfolio of investments.

Equities 45%
Also known as stocks, these can be shares of a publicly traded company — something you would see listed on an exchange or investments in private equity. Equity is often seen as more volatile and typically carries greater risk but has the potential to deliver stronger performance over a long-term period.

Real Estate 15%
Real assets are investments like real estate and infrastructure. These can offer strong risk-adjusted returns and often respond to the market differently relative to asset classes like stocks. Since these are tangible assets, they’re typically also a longer-term investment.

Fixed Income 35%
Fixed income includes bonds and other debt instruments — investments that generate returns in the form of interest. They are typically seen as lower risk than equities, as they can be more predictable in their returns.

Absolute Return 5%
Absolute return is an asset class that focuses on delivering a positive return over time, regardless of how the broader market performs. This can include a number of different investment types to diversify, manage risk and deliver an absolute return.
Our criteria
We use a thorough and rigorous risk-controlled approach by choosing an optimized risk level within a multi-year framework and by selecting and weighting asset classes to achieve a target return. By identifying an acceptable risk threshold, we can determine the mix of assets with the best chance to achieve its goal.
