CMI MIC Funds: Satisfying investor\u2019s needs for yield, diversification and capital preservation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year marked the first full year of operation for our two newest funds: CMI MIC Prime Mortgage Fund and CMI MIC High Yield Opportunity Fund. Together with our flagship CMI MIC Balanced Portfolio Fund, our family of funds grew considerably over the year, attracting $105,868,172 combined in new assets under management (AUM).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was driven in part by heightened demand for high-quality mortgage investments. Each fund hit its annual target yield, offering investors regular income and peace of mind during a period described by analysts as an \u201cincome famine\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CMI MIC Balanced Fund has grown to become one of Canada\u2019s largest private mortgage portfolios. AUM have surged 149% since 2020, a pace that is expected to accelerate as share issuances continue to rise significantly. The fund has paid a consistent yield of 8-9% since its inception in 2015. AUM for the CMI MIC Prime Mortgage Fund and CMI MIC High Yield Opportunity Fund have also grown, by 321% and 142% respectively, since their inception.<\/p>\n

CMI Mortgage Investments: Offering unparalleled access to the Canadian mortgage market<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our whole mortgage investment division continued its tremendous growth in 2021, in terms of both originations and book size, as exploding borrower demand for private mortgage financing was equally matched by investors\u2019 desire for high-yield alternative investment products. Our lending footprint continued to expand across Canada with a continued focus on risk management and capital preservation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since inception, our mortgage investments program has successfully placed more than $1 billion in private mortgages, with more than $500 million funded last year alone. This represents an increase of 136% compared with 2020.\u00a0Current assets under management sit at more than $536M.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our ever-expanding mortgage portfolio currently includes more than 1900 active investments, bringing the lifetime total of mortgages funded to $1.2B. In terms of unit volume, mortgage originations increased 93.9% compared with 2020.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through our two innovative mortgage investment solutions, we offer investors diversification opportunities across Canada\u2019s most robust mortgage markets. Our whole mortgage investments offer targeted annual returns of between 6% and 16%, while our suite of MIC funds offer target yields tied to specific risk and return profiles, ranging from 6% to 11%, depending on the specific fund. We are strongly positioned to capitalize on the ever-growing need amongst consumers for alternative lending solutions, and we remain relentlessly committed to providing our investors with the best mortgage investment options in Canada.<\/p>\n
