CPP Investments
BDO Dunwoody/Chamber Weekly CEO/Business Leader Poll by COMPAS in the Financial Post
Canada’s business leaders are concerned about the future viability of the CPP and want the fund to focus on investing anywhere it expects a profit, with some debate as to whether it should be held to the same foreign content restrictions as RRSPs.

In light of the CPP Investment Board’s announcement that it would be investing more in European Infrastructure Funds because of the lack of similar opportunities in Canada, this weekly business panel was asked a series of questions about the future of CPP, the recent investment announcement, opportunities for the Federal Government to broaden investment opportunities, and the performance of the Federal leaders and Investment Board President in engaging Canadians in a discussion of how the country can get the most out of the CPP.

Respondents are also concerned about the lack of dialogue about the future of CPP and available investment opportunities in Canada.

These are the key findings from this week’s weekly on-line survey for publication in the Financial Post under the sponsorship of BDO Dunwoody and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
