Mortgage Investment FAQs

What’s the minimum initial investment?

Canguard Mortgage Investment Company requires a minimum initial investment of $10,000 Canadian, however further contributions can be made in smaller denominations. For more information please contact invest@canguard.ca

How and when will distributions be paid?

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.

Will the foreclosures affect the Rate or Return?

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.

How are distributions taxed?

Dividends are taxed as interest income. This is because the gain is derived from revenue earned on the mortgage portfolio.

What is a MIC?

Created under the Canadian Income Tax Act (Sec 130.1) in 1973, a MIC enables investors to invest in mortgages without the hassle of finding and investing individually.
