About the Company

Fonds de solidarité FTQ

Development capital fund for Quebec businesses

Fonds de solidarité FTQ uses savings and the solidarity of Quebecers to provide development capital that fuels the growth of Quebec businesses. It raises funds from a large network of savers who become shareholders and invests in companies across all sectors to create, maintain, or safeguard jobs. Its product works by pooling capital and deploying it into businesses, while also offering value-added services like economic training and governance focused on social responsibility. The fund is distinguished by being the largest Québec development capital network, guided by ethical governance and a commitment to human and sustainable economic development, and by supporting employers beyond capital with advisory and training resources. Its goal is to promote economic growth in Quebec, generate steady retirement savings for its hundreds of thousands of saver-shareholders, and provide a reasonable return with favorable tax advantages.
