This approach extends to critical infrastructure, where we are building and maintaining exposure to assets that support Canada’s evolving economy. That includes major projects like the 407 Express Toll Route (ETR), as well as new opportunities aligned with the country’s economic transformation — from clean energy and advanced manufacturing to digital infrastructure.
A Canadian organization with global reach
CPP Investments operates around the world, with holdings in more than 50 countries across private equity, real assets, credit, and public markets. This global reach strengthens our ability to uncover new opportunities, form strategic partnerships, and apply international insights here at home.
We use this experience to identify and accelerate opportunities in Canada — connecting local innovation with global potential. One example is our continued investment in Radical Ventures, a Toronto-based venture capital firm focused on artificial intelligence. With US$280 million committed across multiple fundraising rounds, we’re helping Canadian innovators lead in one of the world’s most transformative sectors.
Beyond investing, we actively contribute to the strength of Canada’s financial ecosystem. Our leaders speak regularly at Canadian universities and colleges, sharing knowledge with students and future professionals. We participate in Canadian industry associations and global forums such as the International Centre for Pension Management (ICPM), where we exchange best practices and learn from our peers. We also engage directly with Canadians to support financial literacy and build public understanding of long-term investing.
Canada is not only our home — it’s a defining part of who we are. While global diversification is essential to the long-term success of the CPP Fund, our commitment to Canada remains strong and unwavering.
That long-term success is made possible by the strength of our governance model — one that reflects the very principles Canadians value: independence, transparency, and accountability.
The strength behind the strategy
CPP Investments is a leading example of the Canadian pension approach — a globally respected framework that combines scale, independence, and long-term vision. Guided by this approach, we operate with a singular public purpose: to manage the Fund in the best interests of contributors and beneficiaries, free from political direction and with a clear focus on sustained performance.
This model has delivered consistent, long-term growth. The CPP Fund has expanded in 25 of the past 26 years, guided by a disciplined strategy, prudent governance, and global diversification. Today, we manage more than $714 billion on behalf of more than 22 million Canadians — helping to ensure the CPP Fund’s sustainability for generations to come.
The CPP, and the creation of CPP Investments to manage its assets, stands among Canada’s most enduring public policy achievements. In 2024, nearly six million people received CPP benefits — a clear reminder of our vital role and responsibility to Canadians. This work matters.
Beyond delivering strong returns, our performance contributes to Canada’s economic resilience. As one of the country’s largest institutional investors, we support leading companies, invest in critical infrastructure, and create opportunities for people to grow their careers in a purpose-driven, globally connected organization.
At CPP Investments, we invest today to help build a stronger tomorrow — for every generation of Canadians.
