Methodology:
This survey includes respondents from 32 defined benefit plans. The majority of respondents (84%) had $1 billion or more assets under management in their pension plans. The minimum size plan had at least $500 million in assets under management. The mean funded status of the plans that responded was 98.7% as of September 30, 2018. The research was fielded between December 21, 2018 and February 28, 2019. Thirty percent of plans were from Ontario, 25% were from Western Canada, 22% were from Quebec, 19% were from Atlantic Canada and 6% didn’t disclose. Most respondents who disclosed the information have been in the industry for over 11 years, with 47% indicating they have been working for 21 years or more. Results may add up to greater than 100% when respondents were allowed to select more than one response, or when a single choice added up to more than 100% due to rounding.]
