In today's economic turmoil, TIMC's holistic approach to geographically diversifying your family assets and citizenship around the world simultaneously is an unavoidable strategy for preserving your family's future.

We are happy to announce that we offer the Invico Diversified Income Fund, which provides a target preferred return of 7% per annum for its Class B unit as part of your preservation strategy. 

We have conducted an exclusive interview with Ms. Allison M. Taylor, CEO and Portfolio Manager at Invico Capital Corporation, our renowned partner and issuer of Invico Diversified Income Fund.

 


Ms. Monique Copti, Copywriter at TIMC:
Dear Ms. Taylor, thank you for answering these few questions that will give an overview of Invico to our distinguished clientele. Could you please introduce us to Invico Capital Corporation and its vision?

Ms. Allison M. Taylor, CEO and Portfolio Manager at Invico Capital Corporation:

Invico Capital Corporation is an award-winning alternative investment fund management firm providing alternative investing and financing solutions in Canada and the U.S. With respect to investors, our vision is to provide investment opportunities beyond those available in the public market, such as publicly traded stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. 

Alternative investments can help provide a myriad of benefits to investors, including risk mitigation, portfolio diversification, and hedge against inflation, which is why we believe that investors should consider allocating a portion of their portfolio to this asset class.

 Ms. Copti:
What inspired you to start Invico and who are the founders of the company?

Ms. Taylor: 
My business partner, Jason Brooks, and I were both working at Ernst & Young in their Corporate Finance Group where we saw a lot of niche opportunities in the private markets that we helped identify and structure, but without having access to capital, were unable to participate directly in those transactions.

Invico was founded in 2005 to help facilitate a way to participate in these unique private transactions and provide a solution to the lack of funding options available at the time. 

 

Ms. Copti:
In 2013, you launched a new exempt market product called Invico Diversified Income Fund, which provides a target preferred return of 7% per annum for its Class B unit. Why did you decide to create this product?

Ms. Taylor:
The Invico Diversified Income Fund was established because of investor demand.

Prior to the global downturn in 2008 and 2009, investors were looking for large equity-like returns in the 15% - 25% range per annum and were willing to accept the volatility, longer time horizons, and risks associated with these types of equity investments. After the downturn, investors became less accepting of volatility in the public markets and were more willing to accept single digit returns in exchange for preferred target returns that pay out monthly to investors.

Ms. Copti:
As you know, there are endless options to invest in the exempt market world. Why should our clients, high net-worth investors, invest in your product? 

Ms. Taylor:
Investors should consider investing in our product as Invico Capital Corporation has developed a diversified solution which provides access to niche opportunities they may not otherwise be able to participate in.

Our product is actively managed by an experienced team comprised of professional Portfolio Managers along with an experienced team of due diligence specialists, energy technical experts, accounting, and marketing professionals. The other important thing for investors to consider is that Invico Capital Corporation is registered with all the applicable securities commissions across Canada and is audited annually by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers).

 

Ms. Copti:
Could you give us a breakdown of your strategies to reach the Class B 7% target preferred return?

Ms. Taylor:
Invico Diversified Income Fund has two core strategies to generate income – lending strategies and energy working interests.

Lending strategies are comprised of bridge lending, receivables factoring, and commercial mortgages. These loans are secured via company assets and typically repaid from internal cash flows, traditional bank refinancing, the sale of a company and/or its assets, an IPO, or the collection of government tax credits. 

Energy working interests are comprised of working interest ownership and royalties. In regard to working interest ownership interest, we acquire a percentage of the land mineral rights, which gives us the right to participate in the oil and gas production opportunities on these lands in joint venture partnership with the other working interest owners. With respect to royalty interests, a one-time acquisition entitles us to the ownership of a percentage of the gross production revenue from any current or future oil and gas well within a section of land.  

 

Ms. Copti:
What are the growth prospects for this product over the next few years?

Ms. Taylor:
Invico Diversified Income Fund issued its 100th consecutive distribution in early 2022 and celebrated its ninth year of fund operations in late 2022.

We also announced three non-recurring, one-time additional distributions for unitholders of record as at the end of Q1, Q2, and Q3 2022, due in part to the performance of our energy exposure and strength of our lending portfolio. We are excited for the future of the fund and to see what 2023 has in store.

 

Ms. Copti:
How do you see Invico fit in TIMC's holistic approach to preserving the future of our high net-worth clients?

Ms. Taylor:
Alternative investments are a growing asset class that provide investors with an alternative to the volatility of public market investments. 

Over the past decade, pensions, institutions, and endowments have increased their allocations substantially to alternative investments and now companies like Invico are bringing those strategies to the retail investor.

Invico has structured Invico Diversified Income Fund to target capital preservation and reduce risk through asset collateralization, direct ownership of underlying assets, and by way of a diversification strategy.

 

Ms. Copti:
Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for taking the time to respond to these interview questions and for all the information you have provided about this financial product, which promises to be very interesting to our clients.
