2012(est): 0.1%

So really the only outlier is 2009, which of course is when we had the market in turmoil. Otherwise the plan is offering pretty solid returns and again outside 2009 minimal losses.
Right, but that's (presumably) for the whole fund. As an individual, what matters to me is whether or not my CPP payouts will reflect this rate of return, or if I'm overcontributing to keep it "sustainable" and fund the retirements of the baby boomers.
