Twelve-Month Return of 7.1% for the Fonds de solidarité FTQ Shareholders Despite Market Turbulence

The Fonds de solidarité FTQ announced today a record share value of $33.59. The $0.33 increase over the value in July 2015 translates into a six-month return of 1.0% and a 12-month return of 7.1% (from December 1, 2014 to November 30, 2015). These returns do not factor in the tax credits or RRSP deductions.

 
Comprehensive income for the six months ended November 30, 2015 was $112 million, and net assets increased to $11.2 billion. The Fonds invested $324 million throughout Québec in unsecured risk capital during the six-month period.
