JayCap Financial Ltd. was founded in 2006 by Jeffrey Lastiwka and Avison Young Alberta with the launch of our flagship fund ‘JayFund Mortgage Investment Corporation’. JayCap started as a commercial mortgage lender focusing on Western Canadian mortgages.
JayCap Financial Ltd. has leveraged its past 16 years of mortgage lending experience and transitioned the fund from a Mortgage Investment Corporation to a Mutual Fund Trust. This is to take advantage of the strategic benefits that will accrue from this new structure. The flagship fund is now called JayCap Trust and is a diversified investment pool of secured financial assets. The mandate of management and the fund has never changed, which has been to generate income while preserving capital.
