About Fonds de solidarité FTQ

The Fonds de solidarité FTQ is a labour-sponsored investment fund based in Montreal and founded in 1983. It was created by the FTQ, Quebec's largest labour federation. Quebecers save for retirement through the fund, and that money is invested in local companies, helping businesses grow and keep jobs in the province.

The Fonds suits workers who want their savings to support the Quebec economy. Many people contribute through payroll deductions at work, or during RRSP season early in the year. Talk with an adviser to see how it fits your plans and what tax credits may apply. It is a long-standing Montreal-based institution.
