TORONTO — WISE Trust Pension Plan says it earned a net return of 8.1 per cent for 2025.

It says the result helped boost its net assets under management to $4.8 billion at the end of last year.

WISE Trust administers the WSIB Employees’ pension plan for more than 10,000 workplace safety and insurance workers across Ontario.

The pension plan’s funded status rose to 107 per cent at the end of last year, its highest level since its founding in 2020.

WISE Trust says its results for 2025 were primarily driven by its public equity and global credit investments.

The investment assets of WISE Trust are managed by the Investment Management Corp. of Ontario.
