About Vision Capital Corporation:
At Vision, we differentiate ourselves by challenging the traditional approach to real estate investing. We focus on identifying investment opportunities that deliver superior risk-adjusted total returns while prioritizing capital preservation. Vision's unique strategy, implemented through the Funds, utilizes a long-short approach to provide a more efficient and effective method of gaining real estate exposure by investing in publicly traded real estate securities while minimizing risk.
We see inefficiencies in the real estate securities market as opportunities to create value. These inefficiencies enable the Funds to invest at lower cost bases, with reduced risks and enhanced liquidity compared to direct property ownership, while maintaining a strong focus on protecting and growing capital.
The Funds operate under a global investment mandate, primarily focusing on North America, where structural inefficiencies in U.S. and Canadian real estate securities present significant value-creation opportunities. Our selective and active engagement enhances performance, as demonstrated by the 21 successful takeovers of portfolio holdings over the past 16 years with an average announced takeover premium of 28%.
The Funds are managed by a team that includes Co-Portfolio Managers Jeffrey Olin and Andrew Moffs, alongside Portfolio Advisor Frank Mayer, who collectively have over 100 years of real estate investment experience. This extensive knowledge, combined with unique insights and strong sector relationships, has contributed to the long-term success of the strategy. Since its inception in July 2008 through April 30, 2025, the Vision Opportunity Fund Limited Partnership, Class AF Units have delivered a total return of 439.2% and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%, net of all fees and expenses. This compares to a 194.7% total return (6.6% CAGR) for the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index and a 210% total return (7.0% CAGR) for the MSCI US REIT Index over the same period, and with significantly lower volatility. 1
