Since its creation by a special act of the National Assembly in 1965, the Caisse has had the objective of achieving optimal financial returns and contributing by its activities to the vitality of the Québec economy, while ensuring the safety of the capital under management. The various teams of professionals make an astute selection of investments and actively manage the Caisse portfolio. In doing so, they make use of financial vehicles such as bonds, shares and convertible securities, mortgages, real estate and short-term investments, and derivative products. Active on all major financial markets, the Caisse ranks among the leading investors in the Canadian stock market and the largest portfolio managers in North America. Through its real estate and private investment subsidiaries, it is also one of the major sources of capital for private investments in Québec and North America. Caisse operations extend to over forty countries on all five continents. Its principal place of business is located in Montréal, a major financial centre, while its Québec regional network Accès Capital has over 10 business offices throughout Québec. In addition, the Caisse maintains representative and business offices in various countries. 4 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER In 1997, the management teams at the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec achieved an overall return of 13.0%, bringing the average annual return in recent years to 15.6% over three years, 12.5% over five years and 11.1% over 10 years.
