What is SaskWorks Venture Fund?
SaskWorks Venture Fund is a Saskatchewan-based retail mutual fund that invests in privately-held small and medium-sized businesses owned or primarily operated in Saskatchewan. As a labour-sponsored venture capital corporation (LSVCC), investments in SaskWorks are eligible to receive a tax credit equal to 35% in addition to their RRSP tax deferral. Since its inception, the Fund has provided a unique opportunity for Saskatchewan residents to keep their investment dollars at home, helping to grow local companies and creating jobs in our province.
SaskWorks’ consistent results are a product of the fund’s long-term investment philosophy: we invest in diverse, complementary businesses that perform well across unpredictable economic and market cycles. Our diversification efforts have resulted in competitive portfolios that offer exposure to Saskatchewan’s top economic drivers: manufacturing, value-added agriculture and energy.
How to Invest
