The Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSPIB) is a Crown corporation established by Parliament through the Public Sector Pension Investment Board Act to invest the amounts transferred by the Government of Canada for the pension plans of the federal public service; the Canadian Armed Forces – both Regular Force and Reserve Force; and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. As of March 31, 2020, net assets under management were valued at $169.8 billion.

Additional time commitment is expected from any director serving as the Chair of the Board or as Chair of a Committee. All directors are expected to continuously strengthen their understanding of investment management and other related skills, including by participating in Director Orientation and Education Programs. Further information on the operations of the Board of Directors, its Committees, and expectations for directors can be found in the 2020 Annual Report.Further details about the Board’s activities can be found on the PSP Investments Web site.
