Who We Are

Blue Pier is Canada's first "pension Plan as a Service".

Our Mission is to enable all Canadian employers to offer a real workplace pension plan without the work, costs and risks of pension administration.

Our Vision is to provide to all Canadian workers an opportunity to enjoy income security and a high quality of life in retirement.

Our Values are a commitment to operate to the highest standards of innovation, inclusiveness, governance, transparency, disclosure, and cost-efficiency.

What We Do

Blue Pier is a pension plan and your team deserves a pension plan. But that doesn’t mean you need to run a pension plan – you can join Blue Pier instead.

Our business is pensions, period. We enable you to provide a customized pension program plan to your entire workforce without the costs, risks and workload of plan administration.

We are laser-focused on one, simple goal: to deliver the best possible pension income to our members, with the lowest possible cost, risk and workload for our client employers.

We do that by leveraging financial technology, deep expertise, a unique structure, institutional-grade services, economies of scale and features unique to Canada’s largest, most successful pension funds.

We make pensions accessible

With fewer than 100 employees, most enterprises are too small to operate their pension plans.

We work with ALL employers, large and small, to offer a low-cost, low-risk pension program.

Start a new, successful future for your employees and your business. Join Blue Pier today!

We Innovate

We are always looking for new ways to deliver better value to you and your employees, for less.

We keep things flexible

Blue Pier is customized for YOUR enterprise, so you always get the solution that’s right for you.

And if you want to change it, you can!

Why We Do It

12 million Canadian workers have no workplace pension plan. They’re worried about retirement and for almost 80% of workers, the availability of a pension plan is a major factor deciding where to work and whether to change jobs.

But most employers don’t have the resources to operate stand-alone plans. With Blue Pier, they don’t have to. We do all the work.

Blue Pier makes pensions possible, for you and your employees. Give your employees what they want – join Blue Pier today.
