Equimor Mortgage
Investment Corporation (EMIC)
EMIC is a “mortgage investment corporation” as
this term is defined by the Income Tax Act, Canada.
It is fully managed and administered by us. It is
effectively a “pool of mortgages” that “flows
through” net interest earned each month to the
holders of its shares. Expenses are minimal as it
has no employees and pays no rent. We are paid a
management fee of one eighth of one percent of the
value of funds under management per month to take
care of all matters associated with the
administration of the fund. It is the least risky
and easiest way to invest in mortgages for the
average investor. It holds primarily residential
mortgages and provides a stable and attractive
yield.
By investing in a pool, you reduce the risk of
holding mortgages substantially. If any one mortgage
goes into default, it has minimal effect on your
return as you continue to receive your pro-rata
share of interest generated by the dozens of other
mortgages in the portfolio. Because most of the
mortgages are registered against owner occupied
homes, the owners almost always make up any missed
payments because if they don’t they will lose their
home. However if a default occurs, we are of course
in a secured position against the home. In addition,
we have been taking 10% of the interest earned each
month since inception into a “loan loss reserve
account”. These funds provide a “cushion” to absorb
any loan losses in the future and thus provide
additional protection for the value of each
individual’s investment.
As an investor, you receive Special Shares of
EMIC when you invest. These shares are eligible
investments for RRSP’s in Canada. Holding these
shares in your RRSP is very efficient from a tax
point of view because a MIC pays no corporate income
tax. Given income received in your RRSP is shielded
from tax, you effectively receive 100% of your
entitlement to the income earned by EMIC tax free
until you withdraw it. If you reinvest your dividend
each month, you can compound your return on a
monthly basis for as long as you hold the shares
without any transactions costs.
The fund is currently earning a net return for
investors of approximately 10% on an annualized
basis.
