LAPP’s assets are invested by AIMCo based on direction set by the LAPP Corporate Board through an investment policy known as the SIPP (Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures).

LAPP has a diversified portfolio designed to reflect the risk appetite of the Sponsor Board. The Board's investment objective is to grow its assets each year at a rate at least equal to any increase in the cost of providing pensions to all our current members, today and in the future. To support this objective, the asset mix flows from the Plan’s Funding Policy toward producing the best investment return possible within the risk tolerance set by the Sponsor Board for the Plan.
