- Abstract
Among the different investment models around the world, the Canadian model is considered one of the most successful. Having its origin in the restructuring of the Ontario pension plan in the nineties, this model has performed strongly over the last few decades. The Canadian model is a combination of single purpose, strong governance, and internally managed investment. The report "The evolution of the Canadian pension model; practical lessons for building world-class pension organizations" not only describes the merits of the Canadian model in great detail, but it also suggests that this model could serve as a blueprint for other pension funds. More specifically, it emphasizes the relevance of this model for new pension funds in emerging markets. People's Pension Trust in Ghana is such a pension fund. This article analyses the extent to which the establishment of a pension service in Ghana follows the lessons learned from the Canadian model.
