CBC Pension Plan

Located in Ottawa and established in 1961, the CBC Pension Board of Trustees (the “Pension Board”) is responsible for administering the CBC Pension Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada’s national public broadcaster.

Serving over 20,000 members and managing more than $8 billion in assets, the Plan is overseen by a dedicated team of 24 investment and operational professionals under the leadership of the Managing Director/CEO. The Plan maintains a diversified investment portfolio spanning public equities, fixed income, real assets, private equity, and private debt—with approximately half of the assets managed internally.

The Plan’s long-term success has been achieved through a focus on governance, continuous improvement, innovation and independent thinking. We offer a collaborative, purpose-driven work environment where deep expertise is valued, and innovation is encouraged in service of our pension promise to members.
