Let's invest in ourselves
Discover how your savings allow us to support our beliefs.
The Fonds de solidarité FTQ was born out of a desire to grow the province's economy in a responsible and sustainable manner while ensuring a decent retirement for workers. We believe that financial return must be balanced with social return that is beneficial for us all. Forty years later, these fundamental convictions remain unchanged.

A just and sustainable society for us and for future generations.
The vitality of our regions requires the retention of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and the preservation of our finest Quebec's institutions. This is why the Fonds invests in business transfers to keep our businesses here.
- At a time when a significant number of entrepreneurs are ready to sell their business and few are willing to take over, the Fonds initiated the Mouvement Propulsion Repreneurship with the École d'Entrepreneurship de Beauce (EEB), in order to identify, prepare and train 1,000 buyers and sellers over the next five years.
- The Fonds offers financing to entrepreneurs that is adapted to business transfers to help ensure the success of each takeover. Also present in the 17 regions of the province, the Fonds régionaux share the economic reality specific to each region, as well as its vast network.
No matter what we do in life, we all deserve a decent retirement. That's why the Fonds offers several savings solutions that allow Québecers to save for their retirement while having a positive impact on society.
- More than 785,000 savers[1] have chosen the Fonds to build a more comfortable retirement.
- There are no minimum savings or income requirements: the Fonds gives all Québecers the opportunity to save, regardless of how much they make.
- More than 16,500 local employers[2] have placed their trust in the Fonds by offering their employees the possibility of contributing to an RRSP+ from their paycheque.
We believe that our future needs to be sustainable, starting today. That's why we make decisions with our kids, and grandkids, in mind. Our mission is tied to the core principles of sustainable development, and our actions are proof.
- More than 8,200 community housing units have been built to date as a result of our investments in sustainable real estate.
- We will have a projected $12 billion in sustainable development assets by May 31, 2027.
- Thanks to the Fonds de solidarité FTQ Bioenergy, launched in June 2023, the Fonds invests in partnerships that have a structuring and lasting impact on our regional economies and the decarbonization of Québec.
