Derek W. Dobson - Chief Executive Officer & Plan Manager, CAAT Pension Plan

Even before the Coronavirus disrupted our lives, the pension world was changing to meet new demands from employers and their employees. The Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) is leading the evolution of the pension sector to offer new options for de-risking pension liabilities while providing members with relevant pension benefits and adequate income in retirement at a fixed contribution rate. The recent market uncertainty has for many employers accelerated the move to liberate themselves from pension liabilities. Derek W. Dobson will explore, through several case studies, how this innovative and fresh alternative is presenting employers, unions, and individuals with a world of possibilities.
