TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Westboro Mortgage Investment Fund (“the Fund”) was recognized among Canada’s top-performing mortgage funds at the 2025 Canadian Hedge Fund Awards (CHFA), held yesterday evening at the One King West Hotel in Toronto. Now in its 18th year, the CHFA program represents the highest distinction in Canada’s hedge fund industry—and 2025 marked the first year Mortgage Funds were recognized as a dedicated award category.
Out of 24 qualified Canadian mortgage funds, the Westboro Mortgage Investment Fund earned top-three placements in three key performance categories, including:
- 2nd Place – 1-Year Average Annual Return
- 3rd Place – 3-Year Average Annual Return
- 2nd Place – 10-Year Average Annual Return
In total, 291 Canadian funds participated in the 2025 CHFA program. Winners were determined solely on quantitative performance data as of June 30, 2025, with Fundata Canada Inc. overseeing data collection and tabulation. There is no nomination process or subjective evaluation, ensuring results are based entirely on objective performance metrics.
“Earning recognition across multiple return categories, including 10-year performance, highlights the consistency of our results over time,” said Scott Roberts, Vice President of Funds for Westboro Mortgage Investment Fund. “Our focus has always been on sustainable, risk-adjusted returns and maintaining investor confidence through all market conditions.”
