FSRA regulates all pension plans registered in Ontario and as Canada’s largest pension regulator, is a trusted source for the pension industry. As part of FSRA’s efforts to deliver on our mandate to promote good administration of pension plans, and to protect and safeguard the pension benefits and rights of pension plan beneficiaries, this report provides pension stakeholders with funding, investment and actuarial information on the registered defined benefit (DB) pension plans we regulate.
FSRA has released its 2023 report on the Funding of Defined Benefit Pension Plans in Ontario (available in English only).
Subsequent events
Note that a primary purpose of these reports is to provide information that is factual and objective. Consequently, the impact of more recent events is generally not reflected in the analysis shown in this report. However, FSRA does monitor the estimated solvency funded position of pension plans on a quarterly basis which reflects plans’ up-to-date experience – these can be viewed at Estimated Quarterly Solvency Funded Status.
At FSRA, we remain vigilant in monitoring the health of our registered pension plans. It is crucial for pension plan administrators to comprehensively assess the risks faced by their plans and to make necessary adjustments to effectively manage those risks. FSRA is committed to continue engaging with plan sponsors and fiduciaries to collaboratively enhance plan administration and ensure the security of benefit for beneficiaries.
