In today’s dynamic financial landscape, investing money wisely requires balancing growth potential with capital preservation. A growing wave of private investors are turning to mortgage-based alternative investments that offer both income and security. One top option these investors have turned to is Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation, Gentai Capital’s flagship fund and a leading real estate-backed private credit fund in Canada.This fund stands out as a compelling choice in this space, especially for those seeking high-return investments in Canada without excessive exposure to market volatility.
What Is Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation?
Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation is a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) that focuses on first and second-position residential and commercial mortgages secured by real property in urban centers across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. As a trusted name in Canadian private mortgage offerings, Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation provides access to a diversified pool of property investment loans, allowing investors to benefit from consistent income while mitigating overall portfolio risk.

Recent Milestone: Over $100 Million Distributed
As of March 31, 2025, Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation surpassed a major milestone by distributing more than $100 million in cumulative returns to its investors since inception. This achievement highlights not only Gentai Capital’s operational strength but also its long-standing commitment to building investor confidence in Canada’s mortgage investment corporation market.
Gentai Capital is proud to have made regular, attractive distributions across 50 consecutive quarters since Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation was established in 2012. This level of performance underscores Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation’s ability to consistently deliver income to its diverse and growing base of real estate investors.
A Conservative and Diversified Investment Strategy
In addition to a long track record of strong dividend performance, what sets Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation apart is its continual focus and successful implementation of its conservative investment strategy that emphasizes capital stability without sacrificing performance.
For example, Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation reported an average Loan-to-Value (LTV) of just 66.0% across its $179.0 million mortgage book, at March 31, 2025. This means that the principal value of its loans through the most junior tranche owned by the fund is only 66.0% of recent appraisals, providing a very healthy cushion before any losses can occur. For the fund’s second lien, or second position loans, this includes any more senior loan amounts as well.
The fund also takes a high-conviction, but well-diversified approach to generate above-market returns. The portfolio includes residential and commercial mortgages, with a higher focus on residential mortgages. This approach offers a balanced exposure to different types of investment property mortgage assets across Canada, while emphasizing the relative safety of residential real estate over commercial real estate.
Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation is also diversified across Canada’s largest population centres, but again emphasizing areas of particular strength determined by Gentai Capital’s proprietary in-depth research. Emphasizing real estate investments in British Columbia, for example, has helped ease the impact of recent issues caused by tariffs.
Genesis Mortgage Investment Corporation, just like Gentai Capital’s two asset class-focused real estate debt funds (Gentai Residential Mortgage Fund and Gentai Commercial Mortgage Fund), continue to demonstrate disciplined underwriting and strong portfolio diversification—key characteristics for any mortgage investment corporation that aims to deliver reliable returns over time.
