what employees get
As a DBplus member, you can get more value for your contribution dollars. On average, contributions to DBplus deliver twice as much retirement income as group RRSPs or defined contribution (DC) plans, due to CAAT’s expertise in managing defined benefit pensions and efficiencies from a profit-for-members trust structure. And, DBplus members are spared from making investment decisions about their retirement savings and taking on the related risk.
DBplus members earn a guaranteed lifetime pension, equal to the total contributions made (both member and employer contributions) multiplied by an Annual Pension Factor of 8.5% each year they contribute.
