The PhDMFT (Paul Hecht Developments Mutual Fund Trust) is a Private Equity Mutual Fund Trust. Using one structure and creating different silos, the Fund allows investments for multiple projects to be isolated from one another. Unlike a REIT which pools all projects together, an MFT provides investors with more control to decide which individual project they want to invest in.
Targeted Annual Return
The Wardlaw project is an 11 unit Luxury Condo buildings with rooftop decks and patios in one the most desirable neighborhoods available in Kelowna, BC. The land is already zoned UC5 for the proposed development. Meaning there is no need for public consultation, rezoning applications, or other variances. The project fits into the current allowable Building Envelope for height and set backs and our engineering requirement and Fortis BC requirement have already been approved, along with the Preliminary letter which has already been received by the City of Kelowna for the development.
Highlights
This opportunity is ideal for investors who are passionate about real estate and interested in:
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.
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.
