Caisse – Desjardins partnership
In 2010, the Caisse partnered with the Desjardins Group, notably to offer successful medium-sized companies across Québec an enhanced financing offer within a long-term investment outlook.
A $600 million fund has been established by the two partners to support Québec SMEs showing healthy growth and strong profitability potential. Under the terms of the agreement, medium-sized businesses benefit from some $400 in investments, which are distributed as follows:
- $300 million has been earmarked for traditional term loans to meet financing needs in excess of $5 million;
- $100 million has been set aside for joint investments in the share capital of medium-sized businesses.
And finally, the agreement led to the creation of the fonds Capital croissance PME, which consists of $200 million for the financing of projects undertaken by small businesses.
