Portfolio Design and Risk Management consists of three teams: Economic Forecasting, Investment Research, and Risk Analysis. Together these teams inform the design of the CPP Reference Portfolio, the risk budgeting for the total active portfolio and the validation of investment strategies. Portfolio Design and Risk Management manages our enhanced focus on the total portfolio approach, balancing risk/return decisions at the total portfolio level and across asset classes. Portfolio Design and Risk Management, in conjunction with our other investment departments, also identifies and evaluates emerging investment opportunities. Portfolio Design and Risk Management developed the CPP Reference Portfolio, which is central to our new accountability framework and improves our ability to measure the value added by our investing activities.

Portfolio Design and Risk Management is also accountable for the asset liability and risk budgeting models that inform the development of our investment strategy.
