Asset Mix
Our asset allocation policy is based on our belief that over the long term, an asset mix with greater exposure to private market investments is better positioned to generate strong, predictable returns and consistent cash flow with reduced risk to meet the Plan’s funding requirements. Our official asset allocation policy determines the investment allocation between the public and private market asset groups. Our investment strategy over the long term is to maintain our asset mix exposure to public market investments, such as public equities and interest bearing investments at approximately 53 per cent of the Plan’s net investment assets with the remaining 47 per cent representing exposure to private market investments, such as private equity, infrastructure and real estate.
Since the adoption of our asset mix policy in 2003, the Plan has reduced its exposure to public market investments from 82.2 per cent to 60.9 per cent at the end of 2009, and increased its exposure to private market investments from 17.8 per cent to 39.1 per cent at the end of 2009.
