PSP Investments’ mandate is twofold:

• Managing the funds transferred to it by the Government of Canada for the Canadian Forces, the Reserve Force, the Public Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Policy pension plans (the “Pension Plans”) in the best interests of the contributors and beneficiaries; and
• Investing its assets with a view to achieving a maximum rate of return without undue risk of loss, having regard to the funding, policies and requirements of the Pension Plans and their ability to meet their financial obligations.

We stand for superior investment performance aligned with our pension plans’ financial obligations, and will look for it everywhere while upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.

We have identified five core organizational values that represent the bedrock on which we operate. They define our employees’ expectations of each other and are reflected in our everyday activities.

• Strive for Technical Excellence
  At PSP Investments, technical excellence is achieved through a commitment to lifelong learning and attention to detail. It is our aspiration to be the best in the world at what we do, both individually and collectively.
• Delegate Responsibility and Embrace Empowerment
  Our objective is to get decisions made where expertise resides through accountability at all levels. Empowerment means pushing obstacles aside, generating options and executing on the best choice among them.
• Act with Integrity
  Acting with integrity means doing what is right. At PSP Investments, it also means keeping our word. Keeping our promises establishes a high level of respect among employees within our organization as well as for PSP Investments in the marketplace.
• Act as One Team
  To “Act as one team” means to cooperate and draw on our collective infrastructure of support and ideas. It refers to building on each other’s skills and pooling expertise. It requires a commitment to learn what is needed to work together and to develop the trust to depend on each other.
• Be Results Driven
  To “Be results driven” at PSP Investments means to focus on effectively and efficiently achieving our objectives and fulfilling our mandate, while upholding all of our core organizational values.
