TORONTO, Feb. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - CST Savings Inc. is pleased to report a 5.9 per cent rate of return after fees for the CST Advantage Plan for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021. The CST Advantage Plan represents CST Savings'  largest Plan offering with approximately $4.8 billion in assets under management. Assets for all CST Plans sponsored by the CST Foundation rose to a combined amount of $5.6 billion as of October 31, 2021.

"Despite the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on the global economy, consumer demand and employment levels remained robust through the year," said Brad Norris, Chief Investment Officer, CST Savings Inc. "Equities continued to experience strong gains with U.S., Canadian, and International market benchmarks posting double digit gains, while Canadian fixed income performance declined as yields dramatically jumped due to rising inflation and anticipation of interest rate hikes. We continue to look forward to the future and helping Canadian families save for post-secondary education".
