Investment Objective

The objective of Canada Penfund is to provide borrowers a safe, easy path to well priced mortgage capital. This results in direct investment by institutional and private Investors into quality mortgage loans secured by real property. Mortgage investments are primarily ‘investment grade’ mortgage loans secured by property such as apartments, retail plazas, warehouse and office buildings. Investment grade loans are those which Schedule A investors such as banks, life companies, CMHC and others routinely invest in. These loans have the highest probability of timely repayment and zero capital loss.

 

Canada Penfund is strategically aligned with institutional investors such as pension funds, provincial treasuries and life companies. Conventional and construction financing is funded through various lending partners. Loans are disbursed across Canada, mainly in the Provinces of British Columbia, the Prairie Provinces and Ontario. Loans are scrutinized by the Manager and the Board of Trustees to maintain a high industry-standard quality.
