Are Canada’s pensions really the world’s gold standard? - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

While some of the Maple 8 have high domestic exposure, such as the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan, which has more than half of its investments in Canada, only about 12 per cent of the Canada Pension Plan’s assets are invested at home.

While Rachel Reeves in the UK has pointed to the Canadian model to “fire up the UK economy”, at the turn of the century, UK pension funds had even more allocated to domestic stocks, according to research by think-tank New Financial.

Pension plans in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta are set up as asset managers running multiple funds, while teachers, healthcare workers and local government workers in Ontario have their pensions provided by separate companies.
