An Interview with Canada Pension Plan Investments'President and CEO, John Graham - a podcast by ARC ENERGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

This week on the podcast our guest is John Graham, President and CEO of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investments. The mandate of CPP Investments is to invest the assets of the CPP Fund with a view to achieving a maximum rate of return without undue risk of loss. 

Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked John Graham: What is the history of why Canada created the CPP and CPP Investments? What are your thoughts on 2023 with respect to geopolitics, threat of recession, inflation and volatility in general? Are you dampening your return expectations as a result of the weaker macro outlook? Is the CPP well funded to support Canadians who retire long into the future? Does the CPP have a net-zero 2050 goal?  Will you still invest in high carbon industries, for example steel, concrete or oil and gas? Do you have goals for investing in clean and green energy? What are the barriers for investing capital in clean energy? Could the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) attract energy transition focused capital away from Canada? There is an active debate in Alberta now about leaving the CPP, beyond contribution levels, what other factors should Albertan’s consider in this major decision?
