The PSPP is Built to Last. The policies, strategies and oversight we have in place, and the cost-effective investment options available through IMCO, all contribute to the long-term sustainability of our Plan.
Our CIO explains how our Plan responds to challenge while staying focused on long-term performance.

The Advantages of Scale and Focus
How OPB and IMCO Work Together
- OPB retains ownership and authority for all of its assets
- OPB sets investment strategy, IMCO implements that strategy
- OPB oversees IMCO’s costs and performance
- OPB decides whether any of its assets go into an investment pool
How OPB Benefits from Investing Through IMCO
- Scale: A larger asset base results in access to investments that are otherwise unavailable to smaller investors
- Focus: IMCO is a professional investment organization focused solely on generating the best possible returns for its clients
- Efficiency: Serving multiple clients, IMCO eliminates duplication of effort and operations
- Cost: IMCO benefits from economies of scale thereby reducing costs for its clients
How Asset Pooling Works
- Much like a mutual fund, pooling combines the assets from several clients, which results in an efficient way to diversify a portfolio and improve investment operations
