Pension giants review US exposure strategy

Even so, the composition of Canadian pension portfolios has come under fresh scrutiny. CPP Investments has $366 billion invested in the US, representing 47% of its total portfolio, while holding $98 billion, or 13%, in Canada. OMERS has a portfolio that is 55% US investments, and PSP Investments is 41% invested in the US Clément Gignac, an economist, told CBC the environment has changed significantly. “The economic policies from the Trump administration” have made the US market more unpredictable, he said, adding that the risk-return calculation has shifted and that Canadian pension funds are re-evaluating their US exposure.
