NS Pension Creates Business Development Role to Support PSSP Growth

Halifax, NS – February 5, 2025 – Nova Scotia Pension Services Corporation (NS Pension) is pleased to announce that it has created a new role, Senior Manager, Business Development, and has hired the first incumbent for the role, Brendon LeLievre.

Brendon has an extensive background in the financial services sector, with experience in business development, account management, and strategic planning. He has spent much of his career working in the insurance industry and is adept at finding solutions for businesses, establishing solid client relationships, and driving growth. His commitment to helping organizations and individuals achieve financial stability, through innovative solutions, makes him ideal for this role.

“The primary focus of this Business Development role is to engage with Nova Scotia employers, including public-sector, not-for-profit, and private-sector, to introduce them to the many benefits of participating in the Public Service Superannuation Plan (PSSP),” stated Kim Blinn, Chief Pensions Officer of NS Pension.

The PSSP’s current assets under management are approximately $8.2 billion. The PSSP has approximately 65 participating employers, with the Province remaining its largest. Since 2015, the PSSP has added 25+ new employers bringing almost 4,000 new members to the Plan. These employers are from a cross-section of Nova Scotia and include universities, colleges, and municipalities. 

Over the past two years, the PSSP has been busy expanding its focus and now is able to welcome employers from the private sector. The PSSP offers an innovative opportunity for private-sector organizations to access the benefits of a traditional defined benefit pension plan – 102 years in existence and counting – one of the most secure retirement options available to Nova Scotians. 

“The PSSP is administered in Nova Scotia by Nova Scotians, is overseen by a trustee board that meets regularly in Halifax, and holds significant investments in the Province,” said Doug Moodie, CEO of NS Pension. 

In addition to opening up to private-sector employers, the PSSP has created new contribution levels providing enhanced options for incoming employers who may not want the 100% level. Employers joining may now select contribution levels of 100%, 80%, or 60%. Pensions will accrue at effectively the same level as the contribution percentage. Employers new to the PSSP, regardless of their contribution level, have access to the PSSP’s wide range of benefits, such as early retirement provisions, robust spousal, domestic partner and child survivor benefits, and the potential of indexation.

NS Pension wants to welcome Brendon to the team. We are excited about the growth of the PSSP and are looking forward to its further expansion throughout Nova Scotia.
