Delivering Strong Results

2021 was a challenging year for the world. The hardships created by the ongoing pandemic, the impact of inflation and global supply chain disruptions all contributed to market volatility and uncertainty about the future. Against this background, OPB, its leadership and its employees continued to deliver strong results in service, innovation and investment performance. Our Plan is solidly funded, our investment strategies support our Plan’s long-term sustainability, and our two redesigned online portals, launched in 2021, provide members and employers with enhanced service. We remain able to deal with today’s challenges and, more importantly, to realize tomorrow’s opportunities.
