The plan had annualized net nominal returns of 12.1% for five years and 6.9% for 10 years, both as of June 30, according to a news release from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Toronto, which manages the plan's assets.

As of June 30, CPP's actual allocation was 38.9% public equities, 26.7% fixed income, 18.3% private equity, 12.6% real estate, and the remainder in infrastructure, credit and absolute-return strategies.
