The Daily — Employer pension plans (trusteed pension funds), second quarter 2020

Following a $6.1 billion loss in the first quarter, Canadian trusteed pension funds bounced back with net income of $7.7 billion in the second quarter.

Total revenue fell $4.1 billion from the first quarter to $35.9 billion in the second quarter, mainly due to lower profits on sales of securities (-29.3%) and investment income (-9.6%).

Expenditures fell by over one-third (-$17.2 billion) to $28.2 billion, mainly driven by smaller losses on the sale of securities ($3.9 billion) compared with the previous quarter ($20.6 billion).

On November 20, we remember Two-Spirit and transgender people hurt and killed by transphobia and transmisogyny, in and outside the workplace. We renew our commitment to dismantling these and other systems of oppression that exploit and harm trans people: class, colonialism, white supremacy, ableism, patriarchy and homophobia. Trans people at the intersections of those systems face the highest rates of discrimination, harassment and violence.
