What Fisgard Asset Management does

Fisgard Asset Management, operating through its flagship entity Fisgard Capital Corporation (FCC), is a Canadian Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) founded in 1994 in Victoria, British Columbia. The company's core product is a single-fund structure that pools capital from individual accredited investors to originate and manage a diversified portfolio of mortgages secured by Canadian real estate, targeting underserved borrowers that mainstream lenders do not serve. Shares are sold under prospectus exemptions (primarily the Accredited Investor exemption) at a $1,000 minimum, with monthly dividend distributions, and are eligible for registered plan accounts (RRSP, TFSA, RRIF, RESP, RDSP, FHSA) as well as non-registered accounts. As of March 31, 2026, FCC reported $309.7M in total AUM, a 7.12% 12-month return on Class B shares, and a conservative 55.4% aggregate loan-to-value ratio, with more than 2,400 investors spanning British Columbia to Ontario.

The business model generates revenue through two primary streams: a net interest spread between mortgage portfolio yields and distributions paid to shareholders, and a 1% embedded trailer fee on FCC Class B shares. Distribution is executed through a dedicated in-house client advisory team operating under an Exempt Market Dealer (EMD) registration, complemented by a mortgage broker partner network that sources both borrower flow and prospective investors. The company maintains offices in Victoria and Vancouver, with a lean headcount of 11-50 employees. Compliance with the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and a designated Senior Compliance Officer / Chief Compliance Officer indicate a regulated operating posture appropriate to exempt market activities.

In October 2025, Fisgard Asset Management merged with Neighbourhood Holdings, transferring the mortgage financing team to Neighbourhood while FCC's investment vehicle continues to operate under Fisgard branding. The transaction positions Fisgard as a component of a broader Canadian alternative lending consolidation trend driven by funding pressures, regulation, and competitive intensity, while Neighbourhood assumes the origination platform. FCC's investment management, investor servicing, and fund administration continue under Fisgard's EMD and advisory framework, with investors redirected to the Neighbourhood platform for funds information.

• Equitable Group (EQ Bank): Canadian Schedule I bank and parent of EQ Bank, with a significant MIC subsidiary (Equitable Mortgage Income Fund). Broad incumbent competitor in the Canadian MIC landscape serving a similar investor demographic.
• CMLS Financial: Major Canadian mortgage finance company with institutional and private MIC products. Overlaps with Fisgard's mortgage origination and investor-fund management activities but operates at significantly larger scale.

• Trez Capital: One of Canada's largest private mortgage lenders, managing multiple MIC and mortgage fund products for retail and institutional investors. Comparable to Fisgard in product structure and target borrower/Investor profiles.
