The Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec announced today that Desjardins Alternative Investments Fund has obtained relief from the Canadian securities regulators which will permit it to engage in a limited amount of short selling in a manner consistent with the fund’s investment objectives.
It is expected that the fund will begin short sales in July following the expiry of 60 days from the date a prior written notice is sent to the fund’s unitholders.
