The Vision Opportunity Funds (“Vision Funds” or “Funds”) focus primarily on the real estate sector, and invest predominantly in publicly-traded equity and debt securities. The Funds target investments that are expected to outperform on a medium term, risk adjusted basis. They can make concentrated investments in the Manager’s best ideas and themes, and utilize a long-short strategy. The Manager selectively employs active investing strategies to improve returns. While the Funds have flexibility to invest outside Canada, they operate primarily in Canada. Vision Funds employ minimal leverage, with an absolute maximum of 25%.
The Manager of the Vision Funds is Vision Capital Corporation (“Vision” or the “Manager”), a registrant with the Ontario Securities Commission. Vision benefits from the experience, expertise, insights and relationships of its portfolio managers, Frank Mayer and Jeffrey Olin. Previously, Frank Mayer was a top-ranked Canadian real estate investment analyst and senior executive with several global and Canadian investment dealers for more than thirty five years. Jeffrey Olin has over twenty five years of senior level, corporate and investment industry experience, with ten years in the real estate industry and fifteen years in investment banking and investment industry senior management positions.
