Important legal information

OPTrust Select is a schedule of benefits within the OPSEU Pension Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan consists of two schedules of benefits: the original schedule of benefits, referred to as the primary schedule of benefits, and OPTrust Select. The Plan is administered by a ten person board of trustees (the “Board of Trustees”). “OPTrust” is the business name used by the Board of Trustees. The name of the Plan’s fund, “OPSEU Pension Plan Trust Fund,” may also be used to refer to the Board of Trustees.

This website provides general information about OPTrust Select, the Plan, and the activities of OPTrust. We make an effort to keep the information on this website up to date. However, the entitlement to benefits is governed by the Plan’s text, the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario) and the Income Tax Act (Canada), all of which are complex and subject to change. In the event of a conflict between the information on this website and the Plan’s text, the Plan’s text will govern.
