A Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) is a type of investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in mortgages and mortgage-related assets.
A Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) operates as an investment entity that specifically focuses on investing in mortgage loans. It is established as a corporation or trust according to applicable jurisdictional laws, with the primary aim of generating income from the interest payments made by borrowers on these mortgage loans. To secure the necessary funds for investment, the MIC raises capital by issuing shares or units to interested investors. The funds raised determine the size and scope of the mortgage portfolio that the MIC can create and manage.
A MIC is structured as a corporation and is typically managed by experienced professionals.
The MIC uses the funds raised from investors to originate or purchase a portfolio of mortgages.
MICs are subject to specific regulations and must comply with securities laws in the jurisdiction where they operate.
MIC shares are generally illiquid, meaning they are not easily tradable on a public exchange.
