For more than 45 years, the Desjardins Group Pension Plan (DGPP) has supported its members at every stage of their lives, from working life to retirement. Over the years, it has established itself as a solid plan, supported by proactive, rigorous management and a long-term vision. A true lever of economic stability and a reflection of the cooperative values that drive it, it places people's well-being at the heart of its mission.
A cooperative legacy in action
For over a century, the Desjardins Group has relied on cooperation, solidarity, and the pooling of resources to meet the needs of its members and the broader community. Fully aligned with this spirit, the DGPP translates these values into concrete actions: providing beneficiaries with a stable and predictable retirement income, while contributing to the common good.
An economic driver serving communities
Each year, the DGPP pays over $600 million in pensions to more than 25,000 retirees. This amount reflects the Plan's significant contribution to the financial security of its members and to the growth of the socio-economic fabric of Quebec and Canada. This money, which circulates back into the economy, boosts local consumption, support services, and actively contributes to the vitality of communities. They represent a concrete and constant contribution to collective prosperity.
A source of well-being
Beyond monetary payments, the DGPP contributes to much more than the financial security of its members. Recent studies show that defined benefit plans such as ours also promote the health, quality of life, and overall sense of security of their members.1
A plan that’s focused on the future and driven by expertise and commitment
Throughout its history, the Plan has evolved with rigor and agility to meet the needs of its members. It has weathered economic cycles, enhanced its services, and strengthened its governance mechanisms, while remaining at the forefront of strategy, social responsibility, and innovative asset management.
To support this ongoing evolution and long-term vision, the DGPP’s investment teams play a key role. Always on the lookout for the best opportunities, they diversify the portfolio with solid strategies and high-quality partnerships. Their approach aims to create lasting sustainable value for all participants, while ensuring the plan's long-term viability.
Building on this legacy, the DGPP continues its commitment with confidence and determination, firmly committed to supporting many generations to come.
