Malcolm Hamilton has been appointed senior fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute. He will focus on HR policy, with a special emphasis on pensions and retirement savings.
Hamilton recently retired from Mercer where he was most recently partner.
Hamilton has been a thought leader in the pension industry for much of his career. Among many of his career successes, Hamilton chaired a Canadian Institute of Actuaries taskforce in the early 1990s that wrote a report titled “Troubled Tomorrows,” which described the looming demographic bulge and its impact on pensions. The report was a contributing factor to good policy decisions by the government, which saw a reduction in government debt and increased funding of the Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan.
