OTTAWA, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Effective October 31st, 2024, the Westboro Mortgage Investment Fund ("the Fund”) has increased the monthly distribution per eligible Class F unit from $0.075/Unit (75 bps) to $0.085/Unit (85 bps). This increase translates into a non-compounded annualized return of 10.20%. If the investor chooses to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan (DRIP), it will then result in a compounded annualized return of 10.69%.

"The continued success of the Westboro Fund can be attributed to our incredibly hard working and professional team and our long-standing relationships with some of Canada's most respected mortgage brokers. In this new falling interest rate environment coupled with the anticipated improvement of the housing market, we anticipate even more demand in 2025 for our short-term mortgages,” said Nick Christopoulos, CEO of Westboro Mortgage Investment Corporation.

Westboro Mortgage Investment Corporation's President, Derek Serra added, "From origination to underwriting to administration, we have built a winning team. We have fostered deep relationships with top mortgage brokers who are members of our well received Private Members Club and share our vision of a superior client experience. An excellent team coupled with incredible broker partners is the recipe for our success.”
