Sunday 24 th November 2019....another trip down memory lane!!

It was fun and nostalgic for me to watch my boyhood

soccer team Sheffield United live on TV  against one of the icons of the league Manchester United...






A pulsating game in which my team went ahead by two goals and then with a few minutes remaining trailed by one goal before levelling the score with a few minutes to play





I used to work at these games on crowd control with Sheffield City Police force!!


This game also involved this young lady. The first female to officiate in the English Premier league...good for her!!






Canada Pension Plan’s investment board racks up 8.9% return, more than enough to sustain fund until 2090

CPPIB adds $35.9 billion to assets

CPPIB's fiscal fourth quarter showed a recovery from a weak return of 1.1 per cent in the third quarter that was affected by a general downturn in stock markets in December.




TORONTO — Canada Pension Plan Investment Board recovered from a weak quarter in late 2018 to produce a solid 8.9 per cent net return for its most recent financial year.

The Toronto-based investment manager for the Canada Pension Plan said its CPP Fund had $392.0 billion of net assets as of March 31, up $35.9 billion from the end of the 2018 financial year after all costs.

The fiscal fourth quarter also showed a recovery from a weak return of 1.1 per cent in the third quarter that was affected by a general downturn in stock markets in December.

CPPIB’s five-year real rate of return, which adjusts for inflation, was 8.9 per cent as of March 31 while the 10-year real rate of return was 9.2 per cent.

Those returns are well ahead of what the Chief Actuary of Canada has determined to be necessary to sustain the Canada Pension Plan to at least 2090.


This is great news for me although I don’t need it to last that long!!!!


Yashi Kochi!!
