Founded in 1997 through an Act of Parliament, CPP Investments is tasked with managing Canada Pension Plan investments, with a primary focus on maximising long-term returns while mitigating risks. Although accountable to Parliament and federal and provincial ministers, the organisation operates independently, guided by an independent Board of Directors. Furthermore, in April 2024, Round Hill Capital divested its Nido Living business to CPP Investments, reflecting the organisation’s ongoing expansion in the residential sector.
