A pension you can count on

The WISE Trust Pension Plan is not based on market performance. Instead, it provides a defined benefit pension, giving you a predictable monthly retirement income based on a formula that considers your pensionable earnings and years of credited service.

  • Predictable monthly income for life
  • Benefits determined by a defined formula
  • Survivor benefits for eligible beneficiaries
  • Inflation protection through indexation, where applicable
