Mutual Fund Trust

Understanding How Real Estate Funds Work

WCMIF is a Mutual Fund Trust, basically a pool of money from many investors which is used to acquire and develop projects to deliver homes and create profits as a return on investment.

Each project is held in a separate corporation or Limited Partnership (‘LP’) controlled and funded by WCMIF.

What Happens During a Project Cycle

Once a project is completed, that LP pays back its capital into the Fund, the Participating Profit Share is paid out and the Fund then deploys the capital in the next project through a new LP.

While most investors stay in the Fund indefinitely as long as the Fund continues to pay a satisfactory return, sometimes investors may redeem their Trust Units from time to time.

Investor Participation and Redemption

Redemption is possible at any time, however, as the Fund deploys its capital and may have limited funds available for redemptions, fulfilling a request for redemption may take some time. Furthermore, as investing in and developing real estate takes time, we ask that our investors are prepared to remain invested for at least three years to give their capital a chance at earning returns. 

The Fund applies penalties for early redemptions as follows: 15% in year 1; 10% in year 2; 5% in year 3. 

We encourage investors to review these terms carefully before making any commitment.

Types of Trust Units

Currently, WCMIF offers two types of Trust Units:

Class ‘A’

PAYS a 6%

annual target fixed interest
which is paid out monthly.

Class ‘D’

PAYS a 7%
cumulative annual target fixed interest which is paid out as a capital gain at the next Participating Profit Share event. (When a project is completed or an asset is sold)

Participating Profit Share for both Class ‘A’ and Class ‘D’ Trust Units

Upon the completion or sale of a project 35% of the net profits are paid out Pro Rata to the Fund Trust Unit Holders and are paid out as a Capital Gain.
