What is a MIC?
A Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) is an investment fund that pools capital from investors to lend to borrowers, with a mortgage as security. By investing in a pool of mortgages investors can diversify their risk and earn monthly income.
MICs are flow-through investment vehicles that distribute 100% of the net income to the shareholders. All MIC investments must be in Canadian mortgages.
Our experience
speaks for itself.
Alta West Capital provides unique investment opportunities.
The Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) are registered plan eligible. Registered plans have tax advantages and the ability to compound interest to maximize the potential earning power of your investment. Learn more about the alternative investment opportunities with Alta West Capital.
Why invest through your RRSP?
By investing in an RRSP, you will benefit from immediate tax relief by deducting your RRSP contributions from your income each year. The income you earn in your RRSP is not taxable if it remains in the plan.
Why invest through your TFSA?
A TFSA allows you to set money aside in eligible investments and monitor those savings grow tax-free throughout your lifetime. Interest and dividends earned in a TFSA are tax-free and your TFSA savings can be withdrawn from your account at any time.
Why invest through your RESP?
A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is an investment vehicle available which allows parents in Canada the opportunity to save for their children’s post-secondary education. The principal advantages of RESPs are the access they provide to the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and serve as a method of generating tax-deferred income.
