Alberta Superintendent of Pensions
To provide a fair and balanced regulatory environment that supports the development and maintenance of strong and stable pension plans, and protects individuals’ pension rights.
We work to achieve this mission by working and living the Alberta Public Service values and the Financial Sector Regulation and Policy operating principles.
Welcome to the website of the Office of the Alberta Superintendent of Pensions. The Superintendent’s office primarily governs pension plans that are established and maintained by private sector employers (or groups of employers or unions). This site is intended to provide information for pension plan administrators, members, and service providers. Additionally, this site contains information that will assist financial institutions and clients who offer locked-in products.
