WHAT IS A MIC?
A MIC is a Mortgage Investment Corporation designed specifically for mortgage lending in Canada. It is a vehicle for investors to pool their funds by purchasing shares of the MIC and allowing our management company to invest and administer those funds in diversified mortgages.
Investors receive the interest earned from those mortgages net of a management fee charged by our management company to manage and administer those mortgages. The net profit of the MIC is 100% distributed to investors in the form of quarterly dividends which can be paid out directly to the investors or reinvested in the Fund. Investors also receive quarterly statements detailing their account balance and interest earned. Annual audited financial statements are also available to shareholders upon request.
The investments made in the MIC are qualified investments under the Income Tax Act for RRSP’s, RRIF’s, TFSA’s, and RESP’s. Aventus Capital has hired Olympia Trust, a federally regulated trust company, to manage our investors’ registered funds.
HOW DO WE OPERATE?
Aventus Capital is highly selective in choosing which mortgages to invest in to ensure that we protect our investors’ capital while generating superior returns. All of our mortgages are registered on properties located in key metropolitan regions of B.C. given the strength of those real estate markets. We typically invest in residential mortgages but also can invest in commercial property mortgages subject to a rigorous assessment of the quality, tenancy, and long-term prospects of the property.
To find suitable mortgage investments, Aventus Capital Corp. (the “Fund”) has entered into a management agreement with Aventus Mortgage Group Inc. (the “Manager”), giving the Manager responsibility to source investments for the Fund as well as monitor and manage the mortgage loan portfolio in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund pays a management fee to the Manager in exchange for these services.
OUR MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO
Mortgage Type
82% of our mortgage portfolio consists of residential mortgages while 18% consists of commercial property mortgages. We only lend in key metropolitan regions of B.C. Properties mortgaged include single family detached homes, condos, properties under construction, land, and commercial properties.
Loan to Value
Our portfolio is currently invested in 2nd position mortgages, none of which have total loan to values (“LTV”) of more than 80%. In fact, 63% of our mortgages have LTV’s of 65% or less, which speaks to our ability to source safe and secure mortgages for our investors.
