About Fondaction

Fondaction is a Quebec retirement savings fund based in Montreal and created in 1996. It invests in local businesses, with a focus on sustainable development, so the money Quebecers save for later also supports companies and projects in the province. It is one of the labour-sponsored funds that are part of Quebec's savings landscape.

Fondaction suits workers who want their retirement savings to stay close to home and support responsible businesses. It is worth discussing with a financial adviser during RRSP season, early in the year, to see whether it fits your situation and what tax advantages may apply. The fund is a homegrown Montreal institution.
