A labour sponsored investment fund is ideal for investors seeking long-term capital growth, in addition to attractive tax benefits. Here are a few specific reasons why you should consider investing in a laboured sponsored investment fund and, in particular, the VentureLink Group of Funds.

Diversify Your Portfolio
Investors can take advantage of a well diversified portfolio of investments focused on growing specialized sectors plus take advantage of the performance of a carefully selected Index (i.e. S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq 100 Index and S&P/TSX Canadian Financials Index). Portfolio diversification is an important part of every successful portfolio.

High Quality Management
The VentureLink Group of Funds are managed by a professional portfolio management team with the experience and expertise to provide significant upside potential to each of the VentureLink Group of Funds.

Receive up to a 35% Tax Credit
Investors in select VentureLink funds are eligible to claim an immediate 30% tax credit to a maximum $1,500 based on an investment of $5,000 in any of the VentureLink Funds. Investors in the Brighter Future (Equity) Fund are eligible to claim an additional 5% tax credit (for a total of 35% in tax credits) to a maximum of $1,750 based on an investment of $5,000.

More compelling reasons to invest in a LSIF
LSIFs provide investors with the ability to invest in venture capital with up to 35% downside protection. Venture capital, as an asset class, has low correlation to pulic equities. Your investment plays a key role in the Canadian economy. Venture capital plays an important economic role in job creation through the provision of start-up and follow-on financing for promising new companies.

Registered plan switches
If you have little room available for RRSP contributions but have an existing RRSP or LIRA, the $1,500 credit can be generated within your account by switching $5,000 from a current investment holding to a LSIF.
