Targeting compelling returns
CMI MIC Funds provide investors with access to Canada’s historically strong real estate market through diversified, well-managed portfolio solutions that focus on capital preservation while targeting sustainable, attractive returns. Historically, our three different MICs – CMI MIC Prime Mortgage Fund, CMI MIC Balanced Mortgage Fund and CMI MIC High Yield Opportunity Fund have yielded net annual returns of 6 – 11%, while our MIC managers have maintained a loan loss rate of less than 1% since inception.
Portfolios designed for a variety of investment objectives
The CMI MIC Funds are designed to meet the needs of investors across a broad range of investor profiles. Our portfolios invest primarily in first and second residential mortgages in traditionally strong, stable real estate markets across Canada.
Managed by a team of experienced mortgage and investment professionals, these funds are well-diversified across geographic regions, borrower and mortgage types, all of which are 100% secured by collateralized real estate. Overhead and carrying costs are kept to a minimum in order to lower fees and maximize returns for investors.
As the fund manager, CMI is focused on achieving consistent, appreciable returns for all three of our MICs through active and prudent investment management practices over the long term.
We offer three distinct MIC funds to meet the needs of investors.

CMI MIC Funds Targeting stable, consistent returns
Investors today face the tough challenge of navigating a volatile equity market and a historically low interest rate environment. To offset these obstacles, investors are increasingly exploring alternative investment options such as MICs, which capitalize on Canada’s attractive real estate market.
As regulated financial institutions continue to tighten mortgage lending guidelines and credit availability, the private lending market will increase in volume, as will the availability of quality mortgages for MICs.
