Equiton Residential Income Fund Trust REIT

Why invest?

With housing demand at historic highs and supply failing to keep pace, Canada's apartment market is uniquely positioned for long-term growth. Equiton capitalizes on this imbalance by targeting undervalued multi-residential properties and unlocking their full potential through active management.

  • Access an essential, recession-resistant asset class: Canadian rental apartments
  • Monthly income + long-term capital appreciation
  • Hedge against inflation with annually adjusted rents
  • Real estate investing through registered plans (RRSP, TFSA, etc.)
  • Backed by 9+ consecutive years of positive returns
“In a country that needs 5.8 million homes by 2030, apartments are not just housing; they are opportunity.”

Key Performance highlights

Performance is not just about numbers, it’s about consistency, downside protection, and growth. The Equiton Apartment Fund has delivered strong, stable results across economic cycles.

  • $1.3 billion in assets under management
  • 3,739 rental units across Ontario and Alberta
  • 100% of 2024 distributions were return of capital (non-taxable)
  • DRIP reinvestment bonus of 2%

Investment Strategy & Structure

Equiton’s strategy is rooted in value creation. We target underappreciated, underperforming assets with strong fundamentals and we actively manage them to unlock lasting value and returns.

  • Acquire undervalued apartment buildings across key Canadian markets
  • Improve NOI through suite renovations, reconfigurations, and energy efficiencies
  • Target a portfolio-wide rent gap to market of ~30%
  • Structure: Mutual Fund Trust with monthly liquidity (30 days' notice)
  • Select investment in new developments for pipeline efficiency
“Earn stable income. Grow your wealth. Do it all tax efficiently.”

  • Majority Independent Board of Trustees
  • Audited annually by KPMG; financials filed with regulators
  • Third-party property appraisals and full due diligence (Castle Hall, AIMA 2024)
  • Operational transparency through layered internal controls
