Strengthening retirement security
When it comes to financing retirement, we know that a collective approach is much more effective than a do-it-yourself plan. Yet as the nature of work is changing, fewer and fewer people outside the public sector have access to a workplace retirement plan. Driven by principles from the world’s best pension organizations, Common Wealth is creating and managing large-scale collective retirement plans that meet the needs of today’s labour force.
The Advantages Retirement Plan™, which we created in collaboration with the
Ontario Medical Association / OMA Insurance, has been honoured with the
Innovation Award in Plan Design by Pensions & Investments' WorldPensionSummit
Our research expertise and collaborations help strengthen retirement systems and share the best global thinking and evidence about how to deliver value-for-money retirement income
