Annual returns and benchmarks

The plan tracks returns annually and over the longer term.

The board has set a 5.75 per cent actuarial return target. This is the amount the plan’s investments need to earn to meet its long-term targets.
For 2022, the plan’s investment return was -3.4 per cent, above the benchmark of -5.9 per cent. A benchmark is a standard used to measure the performance of an investment or a portfolio.
For 2022, the ten-year annualized return was 8.6 per cent, above the market benchmark of 7.3 per cent.

Longer-term results are important. The board’s primary objective is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the plan, making sure that all members, from those retired to those who just joined, receive a pension.
