Who does Pacifica lend to?

Pacifica lends to borrowers who are not able to qualify for conventional mortgages through banks. Typically, our borrowers seek short-term mortgages from Pacifica until they can either sell their property or refinance at a later time, once they are able to qualify with the banks. Because these are alternative mortgages, Pacifica’s rates are higher than the banks’.

What type of Lending do we do?

Pacifica invests in first and second mortgages, primarily in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, B.C. The maximum loan-to-value is 75% and our lending policy is very conservative. Our primary investment philosophy is to preserve capital.

How often do I receive dividends?

Dividends are issued quarterly based on a November 30 year-end for Pacifica. Dividends can be paid out in cash or reinvested automatically based on each investor’s preference.

Will I receive statements?

Yes, you will receive a quarterly statement showing the balance of your investment. At the end of the year, you will receive a copy of our audited financial statements as well as a T5 statement in the early part of the following year.
