Alberta Superintendent of Pensions

MISSION STATEMENT

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.

October is Investor Education Month

October is Investor Education Month.  In support of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and their ongoing investor education and fraud prevention initiatives for investors, we would like to encourage you to visit their website, www.securities-administrators.ca

In addition to their existing brochures and online tools for investors, you will also find a new interactive money mentoring program, Make It Count, designed for parents and teachers to use for teaching kids about money management.  The latest results of the CSA Investor Index will also be posted with results from their national research conducted to better understand Canadians’ knowledge about investments and experience with fraudulent attempts.
