The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) evolved into one of the most powerful institutional investors in Canada during the 1990s. The plan serves teachers in elementary and secondary schools, pensioners, and their survivors. Forced to change to meet a rising tide of benefits, the plan has been retooled to allow for more creative investment of the teachers' retirement contributions.
