Assets climbed by $45.5 billion to $264.6 billion. The growth included $40.6 billion in net investment income after all costs of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The balance came from CPP contributions.

He said he views longer–term returns as even more important than the single’s year’s “exceptional” results. The 10-year investment rate of return for the fund is eight per cent, while the real return — which takes inflation into account — is 6.2 per cent.

Canada’s Chief Actuary says the fund must generate an average annual rate of return of four per cent to be sustained at current contribution rates and meet its obligations over the next 75 years.
