“In 2024, our performance was driven by our equity market, private equity and infrastructure activities, but was affected by persistent headwinds in real estate, particularly in the U.S. office sector. 

For one year, the Québec Pension Plan, which represents the pensions of more than six million Quebecers, posted a return of 11.0%.”
