The COVID-19 pandemic has particularly impacted the United States of America (“US”). One of the results of the pandemic is the inability to travel to and within the US to tour potential investment opportunities and complete appropriate due diligence. Further, senior management wants to reassess the US market over the next six months as the epidemic might present an opportunity for better priced investments. While there are many investment opportunities and capital available to complete such investment opportunities, senior management and the board of trustees believe it is inappropriate at this time to complete further due diligence until the COVID-19 pandemic has all but been eliminated and travel to and within the US resumes. Therefore, the Trust has made the temporary decision to invest in Bridge Mortgages where it can complete the appropriate level of due diligence and make appropriate investment decisions, with such investments being completed in partnership with other Firm Capital managed lending entities who have strict operating and investment risk management guidelines. To date, the Trust has co-invested alongside other Firm Capital managed lending entities including Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX : FC).
In terms of investing parameters, the Trust will invest approximately CAD$16 million in Bridge Mortgages consistent with its current guidelines for US bridge mortgage investments, which are investment opportunities yielding at or in excess of 8%. The Bridge Mortgage annualized returns will be more than sufficient to cover the Trust’s distribution yield of approximately 3% (based on the Trust’s most recent equity offering of $8.20 per trust unit). This investment strategy provides the Trust the ability to invest its capital relatively quickly to earn a return on its capital alongside a strong strategic lending partner.
Senior management and the board of trustees continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will regularly reassess this short term investment strategy until such time as its able to appropriately complete due diligence on US investment opportunities. Completing these Bridge Mortgages allows the Trust to benefit from Firm Capital’s 30-year plus experience as a leader in the mortgage lending industry.
