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.
