CPP Investments earned 7.8% for fiscal 2026, net assets total $793.3 billion

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has reported a return of 7.8% for its 2026 fiscal year.

The results helped increase its net assets to $793.3 billion at March 31, up from $714.4 billion at the end of its 2025 fiscal year.

It says the increase for the year included $56.9 billion in net income and $22.0 billion in net transfers from the Canada Pension Plan.

CPP Investments chief executive John Graham says the results reflected the strength of its diversified portfolio and the reach of its global investment platform.

The returns were helped by its holdings in public equities, while its real assets, particularly energy and infrastructure assets, also contributed to the gains.

The results for the year by CPP Investments fell short of its benchmark portfolio which returned 13.2% for the same period, as it was boosted by relatively heavier exposure to the large technology companies that outpaced the broader market for the year.
