How about making retirement security a priority?

We all know we should be saving for retirement but getting the most from our hard-earned dollars can be a challenge. That’s where OPTrust Select comes in.

What’s OPTrust Select? Simply put, it’s a defined benefit pension plan that provides secure, predictable retirement income - for life. That means you can’t outlive your money. And who wouldn’t want to plan on that? There are numerous benefits to joining OPTrust Select for both employers and employees:

Employer benefits

  • An affordable way to support your employees with a modest pension
  • Easy to join and roll out: with a dedicated OPTrust resource there for you at every step
  • Predictable contribution rates
  • A valuable attraction and retention tool
  • Plan administration managed by OPTrust
  • No additional administration fees.

Employee benefits

  • Your pension is payable for life – you can’t outlive it
  • You receive steady retirement income typically starting at age 65
  • Your employer also contributes to the pension fund
  • You are not responsible for managing any investments unlike some other retirement savings plans
  • Your monthly pension is based on a formula and is not impacted by day-to-day market fluctuations
  • Pensions may be increased annually to adjust for inflation at the discretion of the board
  • OPTrust Select, combined with personal savings, and government programs such as CPP and OAS, can help you plan your future better, so you can rest easier.
