MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 08/23/10 -- A correction from source is being issued with respect to the release sent out today at 8:00 AM EDT. The corrected version follows.
Natcan Investment Management Inc., a subsidiary of National Bank Financial Group (TSX: NA), announces the third issuance of Class A shares, Series 2010 of The Natcan QSSP II Investment Fund Inc.(the 'Fund').
An excellent opportunity for investors that also allows them to encourage Quebec businesses
The Fund, currently in its second year of existence since the plan was amended in March 2009, seeks to combine the benefits of diversification and professional management with a structure that will capitalize on all the advantages of the Quebec Stock Savings Plan II (the 'QSSP II').
This Fund's investment objectives are to provide medium- and long-term capital appreciation and to entitle subscribers of Class A Shares, Series 2010 of the Fund to claim a deduction under the QSSP II for Quebec income tax purposes for the 2010 tax year. The Fund will therefore invest the proceeds of its issuance of Class A Shares, Series 2010 primarily in Quebec-based companies whose securities qualify for the QSSP II.
The last issuance of Category A Shares, Series 2010 of the Fund took place from April 26 to May 21, 2010. The third issuance begins today and ends on September 17, 2010.
