"We're excited to introduce Montfort as a leading innovator in specialty private credit," said Mike Walkinshaw , CEO of Montfort Capital Corporation. "Including pending acquisitions, our business will have more than tripled in size in the past year to over $450 million in assets as we have leveraged our expertise and scalable loan origination and management platform beyond technology lending. As a core element of our growth model, we have combined focused and experienced management teams and utilized advanced technology to create superior fee related earnings."
TIMIA has applied for ticker symbol changes with the TSX-V and OTC whereby the common shares of Montfort are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new ticker symbol "MONT" and on the OTCQB Exchange under the ticker symbol "MONTF". The Company has also applied to have its preferred A shares to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new ticker symbol "MONT.PR.A". The Company expects to announce the dates for symbol changes to take effect upon confirmation from the exchanges.
Montfort's mission is to create value for investors by building and managing specialty finance brands while also leveraging a tech-enabled lending platform to lower costs and improve performance. Montfort's brands, starting with Timia Capital and Pivot Financial, span multiple lending sectors and are therefore resilient in its diversification.
Private credit is an attractive asset class of privately negotiated debt financing from non-bank lenders like Montfort's group of companies. Montfort is committed to building a family of private credit brands that delivers private credit to diversified market segments. It offers equity investors access to an early stage private credit manager growth opportunity that was not easily accessible in the past. Plus, unlike private company peers, as a publicly traded company Montfort offers:
- Transparency - Montfort investors have peace of mind with unparalleled insight into our portfolio.
- Flexibility - We have more financing options available to acquire companies to our group.
- Creative expansion - We have the ability to acquire additional private credit companies.
- Continuous operational improvement - Our fintech platform enables active credit monitoring for market leading returns.
