Investment Strategy

Clifton Blake Mortgage Income Fund Trust specializes in providing short-duration financing solutions for commercial and multi-residential real estate projects, catering to experienced and capitalized real estate operators and developers who require private capital. The fund's typical investment size ranges from $2 million to $10 million, with an average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio across the portfolio between 60% and 65%. The loan terms generally extend from 12 to 24 months, offering borrowers the flexibility they need to complete their project and either sell or refinance with a term lender. CBMIFT strikes a balance between attractive returns for investors and providing accessible financing options for developers and property owners in the Greater Toronto Area and southern Ontario markets. CBMIFT is not a low cost provider but rather emphasizes flexible structuring options and speed of execution that has resulted in a significant amount of repeat business – we call that relationship lending.

Target Parameters

Investment size: $1 million to $20 million Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios: 60% to 75% Loan terms: 6 to 24 months Emphasis on first position mortgages Major urban centres with strong economic fundamentals in Southern Ontario No sub-prime credit

Portfolio diversification and risk mitigation

To maintain a conservative risk profile, Clifton Blake is committed to portfolio diversification and risk mitigation. The fund's investment strategy encompasses a balanced allocation across various property types, with a current emphasis on improving and developing single or multi-family residential and industrial properties, as well as concentrating on geographical locations within the Greater Toronto Area and major urban centres across southern Ontario markets. This diversified approach enables Clifton Blake to reduce the impact of market fluctuations and property-specific risks. The fund also employs thorough due diligence and underwriting processes to ensure the quality of its investments. Additionally, Clifton Blake actively monitors and manages its portfolio, making adjustments when necessary to preserve capital and optimize returns for its investors.

Core Principles

Our team includes former ‘Schedule A’ bankers who have developed a credit underwriting and risk rating model which guide the careful selection of mortgages for our portfolio. Highly selective, the team exercises proven lending practices based on careful risk management. Every mortgage has undergone our own strict underwriting, and we leave no stone unturned in conducting rigorous backgrounds checks on borrowers.

We offer quarterly redemption and consistent cash flow distributed monthly for our investors. We have access to a line of credit at favourable rates, which allows us to manage cash flow, allow for contingencies and respond to opportunities.

Why a Mortgage Income Fund?

GROWING MARKET DEMAND

Canadians are increasingly seeking non bank lenders; the landscape of the lending market has a growing market share with qualified borrowers available.

REGULAR INCOME

Investors get a steady return, paid monthly.

LOW RISK & UNCOMPROMISED RETURNS

The Clifton Blake Mortgage Income Fund holds hard assets and does not face the same fluctuation in value due to public sentiment.

PEACE OF MIND

Unlike other investments that are more correlated with capital markets and are thus exposed to market sentiment, mortgage funds provide consistent fixed value income, and peace of mind knowing your investments are safe.

AN EFFORTLESS INVESTMENT

The Clifton Blake Mortgage Income Fund enables investors to reap the benefits of the private lending industry involved in multiple asset classes. All whilst leaving the expertise, time, and risk underwriting to an experienced team.
