What is an MFT?
It is a business structure to assist in raising investment capital and providing secure, dependable tax savings for both investors and developers. Our PHDMFT allows us to raise capital for multiple projects using only one MFT structure while isolating one project from another. MFTs allow investors to use their registered funds like RRSPs and TFSAs to invest into Private Equity Real Estate Opportunities that they may not have otherwise had the ability to participate in individually.
The PHDMFT (Paul Hecht Developments Mutual Fund Trust) specifically invests in private residential development projects. The Fund takes an ownership stake in the underlying projects with the Developer or Builder, and invests in the creation of new housing – condo development and/or purpose-built rentals. The Fund then shares in the profitability of the projects with its investors as a return, either through a debt offering or an equity offering, or a combination of both.
Why is it attractive to invest into an MFT?
Every year Canadians contribute over $50 billion into RRSPs alone while the total value of TFSAs is close to $300 billion (source: StatsCan – 2020). Investors want to us their registered funds because many times, this is their only source of investment capital and when they receive income from their registered investments, they are either tax deferred (RRSP) or tax free (TFSA). MFTs are one of the most tax-efficient structures available, which means that cash (non-registered) investors still benefit from the flow-through nature of the MFT. For example, capital gains (low tax rate) are passed from the project through the MFT to the cash investor as capital gains.
