CPP Investments

CPP Investments is a professional investment management organization that invests assets of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) fund. CPP Investments' stated purpose is "to help provide a foundation upon which 20 million Canadians build their financial security in retirement." CPP Investments was established by an Act of Parliament in December 1997 and has an investment-only mandate and governance structure distinguishing it from a sovereign wealth fund. CPP Investments is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario with offices in New York, London, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Sydney, São Paulo, and San Francisco.

CPP Investments invests assets of the Canada Pension Plan not needed to pay pension, disability, and survivor benefits across all major asset classes including public equities, private equities, capital markets, real estate, infrastructure, and fixed income instruments. CPP made its first private investment in 2001. In September 2021, the CPP Fund was worth $541.5 billion, and held investments in 56 countries, with 292 global investment partners.

CPP Investments has invested in Fabric, Clarifai, Laronde, Advanced Drainage Systems, Eruditus Executive Education, Deep Genomics, David's Bridal, Kry, Signifyd, and Benevity. Notable exits of CPP Investments include David's Bridal and Advanced Drainage Systems.
