CPP Investments is a public pension fund in Toronto, Canada, established in 1997. It is a professional investment management organization that invests the funds of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) for Canadian contributors and beneficiaries. The CPPIB came about in the 1990s when it was realized that the CPP fund was unsustainable, chiefly because changing demographics meant fewer workers were supporting a growing number of retirees. Federal and provincial finance ministers acted boldly to create the CPP Investment Board and to make other changes to the CPP. The fund looks to invest in public equity, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, and fixed-income instruments. It also pursues funds, secondaries, and co-investments, focusing on large- and middle-market buyouts and growth equity funds in North America, Europe, and Latin America. CPPIB further operates through offices in Hong Kong, London, New York City, and Sao Paulo. The executive management team manages the assets.
