A message from President and CEO Peter Lindley
Investing for tomorrow
Investment returns account for more than 70 per cent of the benefits we pay to members when they retire. To achieve this, we manage a globally diversified portfolio of assets and seek the best opportunities for value creation. Balancing return expectations against funding risks ensures we have sufficient assets to pay pensions now and in the future.
