Retraite Québec
Retraite Québec was established in 1973 to manage the RREGOP plan for public-sector workers in education, health and social services. It also oversees the Québec Pension Plan base and additional plans. Assets are deployed via CDPQ as portfolio manager. The fund maintains allocations to private equity at 22.76 percent of assets. Holdings include direct real-estate positions in New York and Chicago through Ivanhoé Cambridge and infrastructure stakes such as the Réseau express métropolitain in Montreal. Geographic exposure centers on Quebec and other Canadian provinces with additional U.S. office assets. Retraite Québec reported participation at the ACPM Annual Conference in September 2024. It maintains industry memberships with ACPM and CIRANO. Service providers include Desjardins Trust for custody and Norton Rose Fulbright for legal counsel. Governance ties to CDPQ create a hybrid structure in which Retraite Québec sets plan policy while CDPQ executes investment decisions across public and private markets.
