A Unique Opportunity for the High Net-Worth Investor


Investment options for today's high net worth clients are more limited than they were five or ten years ago. Traditional vehicles like bonds and money market funds yield little returns, while more aggressive instruments, such as stocks, mutual funds or other equity-based holdings, have proved risky in recent years. Many investors with capital are looking for alternative investments.
Sinclair-Cockburn Investment Group (SCIG) provides a much-needed answer for the savvy investor. It provides a unique balance between opportunity and security for the high net worth client. SCIG offers a solid rate of return and a great opportunity to invest in secured conventional and non-conventional mortgages.
Here's how it works. SCIG invests in first and second mortgages with durations of no more than two years. It primarily invests in residential and, on rare occasions, commercial mortgages for properties located in Ontario. A strict due diligence process includes an independent appraisal of the property, proof of income of the borrower (to support debt servicing) and a credit history of the borrower. Fund managers Ken Sinclair and Chris Pridham review the merits of each mortgage application. Sinclair-Cockburn lawyers handle all legal work.
Started in August 2001, SCIG earned an 8.87 per cent return in 2002 and 9 per cent in 2003. Investors receive interest income once a year in December, and SCIG issues a T-5 in March. Annual management fees will not exceed 2 per cent per year. All expenses are kept to a minimum to ensure the best use of investors' funds.
SCIG presents a unique opportunity for clients who are:

  • Capable of investing a minimum of $50,000;
  • Looking for a unique investment opportunity;
  • Looking for diversification
  • Frustrated with the limited options of the current investment climate;
  • Seeking secure but higher rates of return on medium-risk investment options

We offer:

  • Interest income paid once a year;
  • An investment opportunity specializing in first and second mortgage applications;
  • Income investment producing rates of return well above the rate of inflation.
  • A thorough due diligence process;
  • Low management fees and expenses.

For more information, please contact Ken Sinclair or Chris Pridham at 416 494 9883 ext. 321 or by email at financial@sinclaircockburn.com.
