Created by the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ), Québec’s largest labour body, the Fonds de solidarité FTQ was created on June 23, 1983 through legislation enacted by the province’s National Assembly. As of May, 31 2018, the Fonds held $14.3 billion in net assets, had 667,417 owner-shareholders.[1] History{{Prose|date=January 2018}}
NetworkHeadquartered in Montréal, the Fonds de solidarité FTQ has a network of independent organizations that includes 16 Fonds régionaux de solidarité FTQ [regional solidarity funds], 16 Fonds locaux de solidarité FTQ [local solidarity funds] and the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ [real estate solidarity fund]. Its investment network also includes 77 specialty funds. MissionThe Fonds’ core mission is to further Québec’s economic growth by creating and protecting jobs through investments in local businesses across all sectors of the economy. Part of its mission is also to encourage its owner-shareholders to save for retirement and to provide them with a reasonable return, which is in addition to the tax benefits granted by the two levels of government. Constituting actThe Fonds de solidarité FTQ was constituted on June 23, 1983 by an act of the Québec National Assembly[3], then headed by the Lévesque government. The Fonds’ objectives are to:
Most of the Fonds’ investments take the form of unsecured loans in Québec small and mid-sized enterprises (SME). 60% ruleIn keeping with its mission, the Fonds makes investments in all types of businesses, with or without a guarantee. However, in any given year, the proportion of unsecured investments in eligible companies must represent, on average, at least 60% of its average net assets of the previous year. Business financingFor the last 5 years, the Fonds had invested an average of $771 million per year in Québec companies. It is a partner, either directly or through one of its network members, in over 2,839 Québec companies[4]. The only development capital organization with sector expertise, the Fonds invests in the most important sectors of the Québec economy. As at May 31, 2018, the fair value of development capital investment by the Fonds in partner compagnies reached $14.3 billion. Sector expertiseThe Fonds de solidarité FTQ specializes in 25 sectors of the Québec economy:
RRSPFonds shares, which are eligible for the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), can be purchased by any Québec taxpayer either through payroll deduction – available in unionized companies or government organizations (an FTQ-affiliated or other union), – preauthorized withdrawals, or a lump sum payment. Anyone can purchase Fonds shares. In its 34-year history, the Fonds has sold $10.8 billion in shares. The Fonds relies on a network of over 2,000 local representatives—unionized employees who promote the Fonds RRSP in their workplace. Fonds shares are a popular investment because in addition to the tax benefits individuals obtain for buying an RRSP, they also receive two additional tax credits: 15% from each government (Québec and Canada) on the first $5,000 invested each year. Fonds shares cannot be sold before retirement except under certain conditions such as loss of employment, participation in the federal government’s Home Buyers’ Plan, and disability.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} References1. ^Fonds de solidarité FTQ. .
