HOOPP creates pension professorship at Rotman School

(Toronto, Sept. 16) HOOPP, along with three other major pension plans, has helped establish a professorship in pension management at the University of Toronto’s Rotman International Centre for Pension Management (ICPM).

HOOPP, said President & CEO John Crocker, "is delighted to support new and continued research in the area of pension management with this professorship. With constant change in the global economy, we need to ensure that there are researchers and students committed to constantly improving best practices for the pension industry."

Prof. Alexander Dyck, a noted expert in corporate governance and finance, will be the first Professor of Pension Management at the Rotman International Centre for Pension Management (ICPM). The other pension plans supporting this professorship are the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, and the Ontario Municipal Employees’ Retirement System.

"Improving pension management practices is at the heart of ICPM’s mission," says Keith Ambachtsheer, Director of Rotman ICPM and Adjunct Professor. Prof. Dyck will help us explore and hopefully help us resolve some of the challenges facing pension managers today."
