Discipline before yield. Every time.
The fastest way to protect investor capital is to never take risk we cannot price, recover from, or explain. Here is how we do it.
At a 36.92% weighted average LTV, property values would need to decline by over 63% before investor capital is at risk. For context, Ontario real estate declined approximately 25% from its 2022 peak — well within our safety margin.
Six categories. Six active mitigations.
We name every material risk and document the structural mechanism that addresses it. No hand-waving, no 'we're really careful.'
Market & Economic Risk
Conservative LTVs: 70% GTA / 65% outside GTA. Focus on stable Ontario markets (50,000+ population). Adaptive underwriting responsive to market trends.
Borrower Default Risk
Rigorous assessment across credit, affordability, and exit strategy. Registered 1st/2nd positions provide strong legal recourse and recovery options.
Liquidity Risk
12-month initial term. Quarterly redemptions post-term. Diversified portfolio balancing loan maturities and cash flow. Redemptions funded from repayments or new inflows.
Concentration Risk
Diversification across multiple borrowers, property types, and regions throughout Ontario. No single loan materially impacts overall portfolio performance.
Valuation Risk
Independent appraisers on every deal. Internal valuation reviews. Conservative LTV buffers maintained well below appraised value.
Operational & Regulatory Risk
Independent annual financial audit. Partnerships with specialized law and accounting firms. Investment structure designed in consultation with Canadian securities counsel.
The framework exists not because we expect losses — but because disciplined investors deserve to know exactly what happens if one occurs.
Proactive monitoring of all mortgage accounts. Payment delinquencies are flagged immediately, and the borrower is contacted within 24–48 hours to assess the situation.
Where possible, LendGuard works with the borrower on a structured resolution — payment deferral, loan modification, or refinancing — to avoid formal enforcement.
If resolution fails, LendGuard engages specialized legal counsel to initiate power of sale or foreclosure proceedings under Ontario mortgage law.
Conservative LTV ratios (weighted avg. 36.92%) provide a substantial equity cushion. Even in a forced sale scenario, investor capital is well-protected ahead of losses.
Investor dividends continue at the 8% target rate throughout any enforcement process, supported by the fund's diversified portfolio structure and reserves.
