TORONTO — Pension fund manager OPTrust says it earned a net investment return of 4.2 per cent for 2025.

The fund says its net assets available for benefits totalled $27.2 billion at the end of 2025.

The result was up from nearly $26.9 billion at the end of 2024.

OPTrust chief executive Peter Lindley said 2025 was shaped by economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.

Lindley noted the plan remained fully funded for the 17th consecutive year.

OPTrust administers the OPSEU Pension Plan, a defined-benefit pension plan with 118,000 members.
