As of March 31, 2025, the Canada Pension Plan Investments (CPP Investments) managed $714.4 billion in net assets. The investment strategy is focused on global diversification, which means that the assets are distributed across various countries and asset classes to mitigate risk and ensure the long-term sustainability of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

The significant portion of the fund's assets is allocated to the United States, reflecting the large and stable nature of the US market. Despite calls to increase investments within Canada, known as the "Buy Canada" pressure, CPP Investments has maintained a more balanced approach to global diversification. As of December 31, 2024, only 11% of the fund, or $73.7 billion, was invested in Canada. This approach allows the CPP to tap into a broader range of investment opportunities and minimize exposure to any single country's economic performance.

The CPP's financial sustainability is closely monitored by the Office of the Chief Actuary (OCA), which has projected that the plan will remain solvent for at least the next 75 years. This outlook is based on the current contribution rates, the investment income generated by CPP Investments, and the demographic and economic assumptions used in the projections.

The decision to invest in the US market and other international markets is guided by the need to maximize returns and manage risk effectively for the benefit of Canada's pensioners. By diversifying the investment portfolio, CPP Investments aims to generate the best possible returns to support the pensions of Canadians while ensuring the long-term health of the fund.
