Investment Options

We offer a variety of investment options to best match your preferences. 

DEFAULT INVESTMENT FUND

The default investment option for every employee is the BLK LP index fund that matures closest to, without going past, your 65th birthday. This is a balanced fund that adjusts its asset allocations to become more conservative over time, so that you have lower risk as you approach retirement.

AVAILABLE INVESTMENTS

If you prefer to be hands-on with managing your DCPP, you might consider selecting a specific investment strategy different from the default. Available investment strategies range from conservative to aggressive mixes, in the following categories: 

 

•   Cash equivalents, 

•   Bonds (fixed income), 

•   Canadian equity

•   U.S. equity

•   International equity.
