UPP's purpose-driven investment strategy

Our fiduciary duty is to put members first and protect their pensions. Our in-house investment team carefully considers investment assets, opportunities, and risk through the lens of the Plan’s liabilities, striking a balance between three key objectives

Delivering a secure, stable pension income

Our investment mandate is to earn sufficient long-term returns, at an appropriate level of risk, to deliver secure, stable pension income to our members today and tomorrow.

Leading with sustainability

We take meaningful action to create sustainable value through evidence-based practices. Sustainability is a fundamental lens through which we derive and protect value for members.

Committed to transparency

Our investment of members’ pension earnings has bearing on their retirement security. We commit to being open and transparent about our investment practices and the guiding policies that inform our approach.
