CBC Pension Trust

CBC Pension Trust

CBC Pension Trust was created in 1961 to serve substantially all employees of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation through a contributory defined benefit structure. The CBC Pension Board of Trustees administers the assets. Duncan Burrill holds the role of Managing Director and CEO while Sandra Mason serves as Chair. The plan deploys capital across private equity, infrastructure funds, and real assets. Confirmed holdings include positions in Brookfield Super-Core Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, John Hancock Infrastructure Fund LP, and Hancock Timberland and Farmland LP. Geographic exposure spans North America and global markets through these vehicles. Public equity holdings include SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, Alphabet Inc., and Microsoft Corp. The trust employs 23 professionals at its Ottawa headquarters. It participates in industry groups including the Association of Canadian Pension Management, the Responsible Investment Association, and the Pension Investment Association of Canada. Duncan Burrill sits on the ACPM board. The plan operates as a single-purpose vehicle tied directly to its sponsor, CBC/Radio-Canada, with no external multi-client platform or succession to outside principals.
