MPI Pension Asset Allocations

Included with the previously mentioned Pension Statement is a chart that shows the breakdown of current investments in the MPI Pension plans. The chart delineates the investments by percentage in each asset class as well as well as where each asset class ended up at the end of the year.

The plan managers have kept the over $6 billion in assets conservatively invested through 2011. Fixed Income (ie. Bonds) and Alternative Instruments outweigh Equity (ie. Stocks) investments. Inside the Equity class, investments in Global equities equaled domestic in the Defined Benefit but were far outweighed by Domestic in the Individual Account Plan.

The plan administrators have successfully steered the pension investments to see gains of between 6 to 9% over the last decade or more with this strategy. We look forward to continued success with their direction.
