How the board makes investment decisions

Your pension is protected by legislation and key investment policies. Learn how they work together.

The board has a set of investment beliefs and policies to guide their decisions.

• Investment beliefs: These are statements that guide the board’s approach to investing. They help the board decide things like what types of assets to invest in and how to measure investment performance. They cover many topics, including responsible investing and risk management.

• Investment policies: These policies outline the board’s investment strategy and how the board manages assets. They are recorded in documents such as the Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures, and the funding policy.

Measurement helps the board determine the success of their decisions.
