The
Desjardins Group Pension Plan (“DGPP” or the “Plan”) is a solid and soundly
managed plan. With the goal of always doing what’s best for our Plan members,
we began 2021 by implementing our new strategic plan.
The
strategic plan has received the support of the Desjardins Group Retirement
Committee and Desjardins’s senior management. It was designed to support the
rapid growth of the pension fund and overcome the challenges ahead. To help us,
we have recently introduced a new organizational structure, split into
3 administrative departments equipped to support the development and
financial complexity of the pension fund.
The Operations
Administrative Department, under François Hudon, oversees all the
operations for the pension plans to improve and simplify day-to-day management:
risk management, asset allocation, Plan member services, performance measures,
financial management and investment support.
The Legal Affairs, Governance and Responsible
Investment Administrative Department, under Patrick Chillis, has expanded
to respond to a growing demand, due largely to the increased complexity of
investment transactions, to reinforce our sound governance practices and to
maintain our role as a leader in environmental, social and governance issues and responsible investing practices among private
pension plans.
The Investments Administrative Department,
under Frédéric Godbout, who will be joining us soon, manages all the teams
overseeing investments across all the asset classes in our overall portfolio.
This allows us to better monitor controls, policies and investment processes.
These
changes have been an opportunity for a number of employees, who have moved up
within our division. New employees have been hired and we’re planning to
welcome even more people soon.
The
strategic plan, implemented through 2021 and 2022, will help us manage growth
and will help our team acquire the materials, logistics resources and human
resources that will contribute to the success of the DGPP and safeguard our Plan
members’ financial security.
