Investment opportunities we seek

In addition to our public and private equity investments, we examine and assess any opportunity that fits within our investment parameters.

“In 2017,
we placed $70 million in private mortgages.”

Real Estate

We make direct investments in commercial real estate, provide personal and commercial mortgage funding, and lend in support of real estate developments.

Our direct investments in commercial real estate are opportunistic. In 2009, we bought properties in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood when the market slumped.

Specialty corporate financing

We are conservative lenders, placing preservation of capital as the highest priority. We provide corporate financing in many forms: margin loans, convertible securities, and specialty/secured financing. To see some of the companies we’ve helped finance, view our timeline of sample financings.
