Notes: 1. Trusteed pension plan estimates by sector are derived by applying asset ratios for the public/private sector split from the Quarterly Trusteed Pension Fund survey to the National Balance Sheet Accounts total trusteed pension plan estimate. 2. Includes public sector retirement compensation arrangements. These supplementary employee retirement plans were set up to provide pension benefits to senior employees beyond the maximum permitted registered pension plan benefits as set out in the Income Tax Act. 3. Estimates for insurance company contracts are taken from the Canadian Health and Life Insurance Association. Estimates for 2007 were derived using the growth rate of the private sector trusteed pension plans. 4. Data for Government of Canada annuities come from the Public Accounts of Canada. 5. Estimates for deferred profit sharing plans are derived from the Survey of Financial Security and Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association survey data. 6. Estimates for individual registered saving plans are derived from the Survey of Financial Security in Canada, Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association survey data, Quarterly Survey of Financial Statements, and the Ipsos-Reid Canadian Financial Monitor. 7. Estimates for deposits are taken from the Quarterly Survey of Financial Statements and the Canadian Health and Life Insurance Association. 8. Estimates for mutual funds and segregated funds in Registered Retirement Savings Plan accounts are taken from the National Balance Sheet Accounts and the Canadian Health and Life Insurance Assocation, respectively. 9. Includes Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs), Life income funds (LIFs), Locked-in Retirement Income Funds (LRIFs), and self-directed Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) not captured elsewhere. 10. Excludes retirement compensation arrangements for the private sector (see note 2). Research in this area is continuing.
