Personal finance: Your pension & other investment strategies for retirement

Thursday, June 26, 2025 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Back by popular demand, Dr. James Thompson will deliver another workshop in UWSA’s series of workshops on personal finance matters for University of Waterloo Staff:

Understanding your defined-benefit pension and exploring other investment strategies for retirement

This 60-minute lunch-and-learn session will introduce UW’s pension plan with a focus on its holdings, and some tips for estimating how much it will give you in retirement, so you can calculate how much (or if) you’ll need to save on the side. We will then explore some low-cost, do-it-yourself products you can use to invest your own funds smartly.

Snacks provided

We are unable to provide a full lunch this time, but will have snacks and drinks, and you are welcome to bring your lunch!
