Private Alternative Investments

The Wealthy Invest Differently.

  • Centurion Apartment REIT

    The Centurion Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) invests in a diversified portfolio of rental apartments and student housing properties, as well as mortgage and equity investments in property developments, across Canada and the United States and participates in the profits derived from them. With that mandate, the REIT always looks for opportunities using strict due diligence to ensure investments are responsible and beneficial for its investors. We concentrate on communities with historically low vacancy rates, growing population demographics, and opportunities to improve rent levels.

  • Invico Capital Corporation

    Invico Capital Corporation was founded in 2005. Its inception is one that is quite unique, slightly unorthodox (to say the least) and solely based on capitalizing on a gap within the financial services space. Founders Allison Taylor and Jason Brooks identified an opportunistic link between structuring capital and funding investments from their days working for one of the Big Four professional services firms. This opportunity was beyond the capital capabilities of what most traditional banking institutions could offer – whereby structuring capital investments was further limiting potential investment opportunities. They boldly founded Invico and have since raised over $3.0 billion of private capital under management.

  • ICM Crescendo Music Royalty

    Investing in music royalties as an alternative investment can bring income, growth and diversification to a portfolio.

    When third parties use their works, music royalties are generated for songwriters and recording artists. This includes digital music streaming, radio, synchronization to video (such as television or films), live performance and any other time music is played. Two copyrights come from the creation of music. The first is for the writing and composition of the song (publishing), and the second is for the actual sound recording (the master).

    Royalty income is earned by these copyrights every time a song is played. The owners of these income streams can be the original songwriters, recording artists, record labels, music publishers and producers. An investment fund like ours can also acquire these royalty streams.

    With over $5.5 billion* in assets under management, we have funded more than 1,800 transactions totaling in excess of $19.5 billion since the firm’s inception in 1997.

  • Overbay Capital

    How We Enhance Portfolio Performance

    Private equity is appealing for many investors because it holds the potential for tremendous returns. However, investors soon discover that PE is a complex and risky asset class, requiring patience and a very long time horizon.

    Overbay’s funds are uniquely structured to accelerate returns and mitigate risk for investors.

    Through acquiring mature private equity portfolios from other institutions, we can skip the painful early years of ownership and provide exposure to the asset class in a way that is Safer, Faster, and, ultimately, Better for our investors.

  • Portland Investment Counsel

    4 Strong Pillars of Assets

    We believe that we have better positioned and shaped the Fund’s future by providing two discrete offers to investors: the common units and preferred units; supported across four strong pillars of assets: Canadian mortgages, Canadian commercial loans, Global maritime loans and Global infrastructure assets and operating leases.

    When creating this Fund, we wanted to build a portfolio that could straddle a variety of investment opportunities, be nimble and adapt to changing circumstances and align to the best opportunities within those circumstances, while delivering steady income distributions and a stable NAV. From 2013 to mid-2015, we selected a portfolio almost exclusively of private mortgages. Beginning in mid-2015, we gradually assessed the attractiveness of the housing market compared to other lending opportunities and selected four Specialty Investment Managers to enable the Fund to take advantage of those opportunities in order to ensure the Fund’s monthly distribution was supported by the four strong pillars of asset classes that are diversified by sector and geography.
