CEDIF Funds

There are now 47 CEDIFs in Nova Scotia that have successfully closed at least one offering. These Funds, through a total of 120 offerings, raised and invested $40 million in local enterprises. The capital of these Funds has been invested by 5616 individual Nova Scotians (some repeat investors reduce this number). Interest in the program continues to grow, as evidenced by new Funds, additional offerings by existing Funds and the amount of capital which has flowed into these entities. Also, PEI will launch it's own CEDIF in July 2011 and discussions continue with other Provinces. (June 3, 2011)
