Definition

End-of-quarter market value of financial assets classified by Statistics Canada as Life insurance and pensions for Canada's Household sector, in millions of Canadian dollars (CAD), not seasonally adjusted.

Statistics Canada's Household sector includes unincorporated enterprises operated by households and excludes non-profit institutions serving households. This is an aggregate sector balance, not an average per household. The quarterly series starts in 1990-Q1; historical estimates may be revised. This is a balance-sheet stock, not contributions made during the quarter.
