As a global investment organization, we invest in public equities, private equities, bonds, private debt, real estate, infrastructure and other areas.
You can read about most of our holdings in the following lists. Note that, as our Disclosure and Stakeholder Communication Policy states, we “do not disclose information regarding investments under consideration, and we respect third-party confidentiality agreements.” We also do not publish information that is commercially sensitive if doing so would potentially mark the value of the asset over time.
These lists document holdings as at the date indicated on each document.
Private Equity
Private Equity (PE) is responsible for all of CPP Investments’ private equity investments globally. By investing in funds, secondaries, and directly in private equity, we seek opportunities to build a global, diversified portfolio that will outperform comparable passive public alternatives over the long term. Our private equity relationships list of fund commitments is updated quarterly, which are published one quarter behind the reporting period. We do not disclose information on those investments where a third party confidentiality agreement is in place, obligating to the protection of competitive interests.

Public Equity Holdings
CPP Investments operates in the public markets through several investment methods. This includes publicly traded equity and fixed income securities, as well as listed and over-the-counter derivatives that are based upon the price of these assets, commodities, currencies and interest rates.
We produce annual lists of our public holdings in equity markets using an economic exposure model that takes various investment methods into account. We believe that this form of disclosure provides the best insights into the Fund’s investment position at fiscal year-end. The methodology for this disclosure is outlined within each of the lists below.

Real Estate
CPP Investments builds and manages a portfolio of property investments, which offers stable income streams that rise with inflation over the long term, and asset values that likewise grow over time. As such, it provides diversification benefits to the Fund, as it has a relatively low correlation with other asset classes such as public equities and bonds, and helps cushion the Fund against market and business-cycle volatility. We update our real estate holdings list on a quarterly basis.
