How does your pension stack up? Look up the returns and expenses of Canada’s largest public-sector pension funds


Most working Canadians will get at least part of their retirement income from one or more of the country’s eight largest public-sector pension funds. They collectively control about $2 trillion in assets, making them a huge investing force worldwide.

But they can be secretive — many investments are not disclosed to the public and their reports can be confusing and difficult to compare. They are also collectively taking on more risk with leveraged alternative investments while pledging they’re investing ethically and sustainably.

To help you understand how they’re investing your money, the Star spent months researching the funds to compile this exclusive pension dashboard. With it you can see how the funds stack up when it comes to returns, expenses, alternative investments and carbon footprint. You can even look up how they’re doing compared to other pension funds around the world.
