Notes:

2012 (Direct and indirect investments)

1.  In its latest annual report on investments (dated March 2012, published online in June 2012), the CPPIB began a new method of tabulating its investments.  Since its creation in the late 1990s, the CPPIB has published annual reports which documented the fund's investments in corporations.  Until this year, the number of shares and the value of those shares as disclosed in the CPPIB's reports reflected the fund's direct ownership in those companies. However, this is no longer the case.  In 2012, for the first time, the figures released by CPPIB, include both direct and indirect investments in these corporations.  This was explained in the 2012 CPPIB report as follows:

"[W]e have revised our disclosure standards. This year and going forward, in addition to physical equity positions, the public equity disclosure lists include exposures obtained through index securities, swaps and other derivative instruments. The net long positions are reported to provide a more complete view of our economic equity exposure to individual company names."

The higher values seen in the CPPIB's 2012 report do not reflect an increase in the CPPIB's direct shares in these stocks but are merely the result of its new accounting methods, namely the addition of its indirect holdings in these companies to its 2012 report. 

Currency in thousands of dollars

2.  Because most of the above sources are reports to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, they use US dollars. The one exception is the Canada Pension Plan, which reports its holdings in Canadian dollars.

(Currency conversions for non-U.S. firms were calculated using average market conversion rates over each firm's fiscal year to mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations.)
