CPP Fund Totals $272.9 Billion at Second Quarter Fiscal 2016
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/12/15 -- All figures in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
The CPP Fund ended its second quarter of fiscal 2016 on September 30, 2015, with net assets of $272.9 billion, compared to $268.6 billion at the end of the previous quarter. The $4.3 billion increase in assets for the quarter consisted of $4.2 billion in net investment income after all CPPIB costs and $0.1 billion in net CPP contributions. The portfolio delivered a gross investment return of 1.62% for the quarter, or 1.55% on a net basis.
For the six month fiscal year-to-date period, the CPP Fund increased by $8.3 billion from $264.6 billion at March 31, 2015. This included $4.0 billion in net investment income after all CPPIB costs and $4.3 billion in net CPP contributions. The portfolio delivered a gross investment return of 1.6% for this period, or 1.5% on a net basis.
"Despite significant declines across all major global equity markets and mixed results in fixed income markets this quarter, the CPP Fund showed a modest gain. Broad diversification of the investment portfolio across geographies and asset classes contributed to the Fund's resiliency," said Mark Wiseman, President & Chief Executive Officer, CPP Investment Board (CPPIB). "As a long-term investor, our five- and 10-year returns are the most important measurements of our performance, and these remain strong."
The Canada Pension Plan's multi-generational funding and liabilities give rise to an exceptionally long investment horizon. To meet long-term investment objectives, CPPIB is building a portfolio and investing in assets designed to generate and maximize long-term, risk-adjusted returns. Accordingly, long-term investment returns are a more appropriate measure of CPPIB's performance than returns in any given quarter or single fiscal year.
Long-Term Sustainability
In the most recent triennial review released in December 2013, the Chief Actuary of Canada reaffirmed that, as at December 31, 2012, the CPP remains sustainable at the current contribution rate of 9.9% throughout the 75-year period of his report. The Chief Actuary's projections are based on the assumption that the Fund will attain a prospective 4.0% real rate of return, which takes into account the impact of inflation. CPPIB's 10-year annualized nominal rate of return of 7.3%, or 5.6% on a real rate of return basis, was comfortably above the Chief Actuary's assumption over this same period. These figures are reported net of all CPPIB costs to be consistent with the Chief Actuary's approach.
The Chief Actuary's report also indicates that CPP contributions are expected to exceed annual benefits paid until the end of 2022, after which a portion of the investment income from CPPIB will be needed to help pay pensions.
