Dividends are calculated at the end of each quarter and distributed within 30 days of quarter end. The Canadian Income Tax Act requires that 100% of a MIC’s net income, as verified by an external audit, be distributed to shareholders. As Canguard values shares at $1 per share, therefore, dividends vary depending on net income for the quarter.
With every investment there is a risk. However, to reduce investor risk, Canguard pools investor funds and lends on secured mortgages with a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 75%. By pooling funds, risk is mitigated using a dilution approach. Similar to most MICs, we borrow funds from streamline banks and employ shareholder loan capital to fund a surplus of mortgages, further maximizing returns while minimizing the impact of any delinquencies.
Dividends are taxed as interest income. This is because the gain is derived from revenue earned on the mortgage portfolio.
