Pensions - New CAPSA Guideline: CAPSA Guideline No. 5 - Fund Holder Arrangements

May 31, 2011 -  CAPSA Guideline No. 5 has been posted. After reviewing various legislative requirements, and in discussions with representatives from fund holder agencies, it became apparent that there is an opportunity to clarify the types of documents that may be used as fund holder agreements and the roles and responsibilities of the key players in a pension plan with respect to fund holder arrangements.

CAPSA set up the Fund Holder Arrangements Committee to:

• review existing legislative requirements regarding who can hold pension funds and what the fund holder agreements must contain,
• compare these requirements with what is currently in use, and
• clarify the roles and responsibilities related to fund holder arrangements.
