“We spent a good part of 2021 reviewing our investments and potential funding outcomes. This has been particularly important as the global economy continues to be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in unpredictable market behaviour and uncertain returns on investments. Despite these challenges, we are pleased with the Plan’s strong performance in 2021”.
