The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) is a professional investment management organization with a critical purpose – to help provide a foundation upon which Canadians build financial security in retirement. We invest the assets of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). We invest those assets not currently needed by the CPP to pay pension, disability and survivor benefits. CPPIB is headquartered in Toronto with offices in Hong Kong, London, Luxembourg, New York, and Sao Paulo. We invest in public equities, private equities, bonds, real estate, infrastructure and other areas. The Fund`s current assets total over $200 billion, ranking us among the 10 largest retirement funds in the world. Our assets are projected to reach $300 billion by 2020, $500 billion by 2030, and more than $1 trillion by 2045.

The original mission for Social Security was to promote economic security for the nation`s people. Chances are, you either receive Social Security benefits or know someone who does. We provide financial protection for nearly 64 million individuals and families, including veterans, the chronically ill, widows and widowers, the children of deceased parents, retirees, and people with disabilities. We are there throughout life`s journey, helping secure today and tomorrow.
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian Crown corporation established by an act of Parliament in 1970 to help developing countries find solutions to their problems. We encourage and support researchers and innovators in those countries to find practical, long-term solutions to the social, economic, and environmental problems their societies face. Our goal is to find ways to reduce poverty, improve health, support innovation, and safeguard the environment. We often work with other Canadian government departments and agencies on programs of mutual interest that are aligned with Canadian values and government priorities. Many of these initiatives create opportunities for researchers from Canada and the developing world to collaborate on research of common interest. Most of IDRC’s funding comes from annual appropriations from Canada’s Parliament. IDRC also receives funds from other sources, such as foundations and other Canadian and international organizations that support international development or fund research. IDRC is guided by an international Board of Governors. We report to Canada’s Parliament through the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Our head office is in Ottawa, Canada. Four regional offices help ensure the relevance of our work.
