Toronto, Ontario, CANADA TORONTO, May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Effective May 31, 2023, the First Source Mortgage Fund (“the Fund”) has increased the monthly distribution to investors from 65bps to 70bps. The result of this increase is a compounded annualized return of 8.73% for Class F units. All other Unit classes will also receive a 5bps increase in the monthly distribution. The continued impressive performance of the Fund is a result of its best-in-class underwriting practices and the dedication of the highly experienced team of professionals who manage the fund. “We are thrilled to increase the monthly distribution to our investors for the second time this year. We are observing a healthy and robust alternative commercial mortgage market. Today’s interest rate environment has resulted in an influx of highly qualified deals that, fortunately for us, do not meet the stringent and inflexible requirements imposed by traditional lenders. We are open for new investor capital, we see this as an excellent opportunity for qualified investors to increase their portfolio yield while not necessarily taking on additional portfolio risk,” said David Mandel, CEO of First Source Mortgage Corporation. About First Source Mortgage Fund The Fund is a diversified portfolio of commercial and development property mortgages focused in the Greater Toronto Area and select other Southern Ontario markets. https://www.firstsourcemortgage.ca/fund-materials .
