Defined benefit: Top priorities 2025 

A new year doesn’t always bring substantial change. But in 2025, all signs point towards a shift in the geopolitical and economic environment.

This year, Canada faces potential global trade disputes, potential tariffs on exports to the US, and economic headwinds.

And the economy is shifting as well, with changes in remote or hybrid work models, an investment environment with new threats and opportunities, and cybersecurity risk. People are living longer lives. They’re working, shopping and transacting online.

This new environment brings new risks to mitigate, and increases many of the risks inherit in a defined benefit plan. As a pension fiduciary, you have a responsibility to manage and mitigate these risks.

Read our Defined Benefit Top Priorities 2025 whitepaper to discover the new risks that face your organization, new guidance from CAPSA, and what steps you must take to seize the opportunities presented in what promises to be a dynamic year.
