Prudent Investment Philosophy
Our priority is safeguarding your capital, which is why our investment strategy is based on lending short-term mortgages (6–24 months), and providing borrowers with “common sense” lending solutions.
With a focus on capital preservation and attractive, sustainable yields, our MICs invest in a pool of well-diversified residential mortgages given to qualified borrowers who, for various reasons, don’t qualify for traditional bank financing.
Consistent, Compelling Returns
At the core of our mortgage investment programs is a rigorous due diligence process and active management philosophy. This, coupled with our extensive experience in the mortgage industry, has allowed our MIC funds to become an attractive alternative to traditional fixed-income products.
Historically, the CMI MIC Funds – CMI MIC Prime Mortgage Fund, CMI MIC Balanced Mortgage Fund and CMI MIC High Yield Opportunity Fund – have delivered a net annual yield of between 7 – 11%.
Low Expense Ratios
You can feel confident knowing that all mortgage assets within the CMI MICs are sourced through our parent company, CMI, and managed in-house. This significantly reduces operating costs and lowers the expense ratio of our funds, resulting in lower fees for investors.
Smart Lending Practices
Our lending activity focuses on Canadian residential real estate markets with sound economic fundamentals.
Active Risk Mitigation Strategy
Our primary focus is capital preservation through a comprehensive risk mitigation strategy. To do this, we focus on:
- Investing in high-growth residential real estate markets across Canada.
- Maintaining a diversified pool of mortgages, with no single mortgage exceeding 10% of the book value of the fund.
- Adhering to strict mortgage origination guidelines backed by our experienced underwriters who carefully assess each property’s liquidity, equity growth projections and the ability of the borrower to service the debt.
- Following conservative residential property valuations, provided by an experienced team of third-party professional appraisers. This helps to lower the volatility in property values.
- Retaining an appropriate amount of cash within each fund to service investor redemptions.
