Stock market returns are unpredictable. News cycles create emotional swings. Indexes are built for scale, not for individual investor needs. Many of our clients felt like they were playing a game with rules that kept changing - until they discovered private investing.
“I felt like I had no control over my portfolio. Now I finally understand where my money is working, and why.”

“The figures you see are net of fees. With additional advantages like Return of Capital (ROC) treatment, many clients find their after-tax results are even better.”
"It’s not just what you earn, it’s what you keep." Traditional investments like GICs, mutual funds, and dividend stocks are taxed every year, which erodes returns whether you reinvest or withdraw the income.
Many private investments, by contrast, are structured with Return of Capital (ROC). This allows taxes to be deferred so more of your money continues working — either inside the investment or in your pocket if you are drawing distributions.
Here is a $1,000,000 example, modelled across four investment vehicles over five years, to show the difference at both 6% and 8% returns.
Cumulative ROC $48,000 (deferred)

The figures shown are for illustration only and are based on assumed rates of return and simplified tax treatment over a five-year period, including the impact of deferral and tax at disposition. They do not represent actual client results or guaranteed outcomes. Assumptions: GIC interest and mutual fund income taxed annually at 50%; eligible dividends taxed annually at 39%; Return of Capital (ROC) distributions deferred until disposition, with capital gains tax applied on exit. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Actual outcomes will vary depending on each investor’s personal situation, income level, and province of residence. The tax treatment described is general in nature and may not apply to every investor. Please seek independent advice from your tax professional regarding your personal situation.

“Notice how private investments with Return of Capital (ROC) treatment can deliver comparable or slightly higher final values — but provide substantially more cash flow and less annual tax drag.”
“After selling our business, we were overwhelmed by options. Rainmaker gave us a clear strategy, now our wealth works for us while we enjoy life!”
