Governance Model

The SPV
Ownership Structure

Every project is held inside a Special Purpose Vehicle — a dedicated legal entity where investors are shareholders with full transparency, board-level control, and legal protection under Canadian law.

Lawyer Trust Account

All capital held in independent lawyer trust accounts. Funds released only against cost consultant reports and project manager certifications.

Veto Icon

Investor Veto Power

A two-tier system: specialists advise, investors decide. The investor board holds final veto authority on all major project decisions.

Market Cycles Medium Phased development approach, diversified asset classes, suburban market exposure to reduce concentration risk
Regulatory / Zoning Medium Specialist planning team, early municipality engagement, multi-site pipeline reduces single-approval dependency
Currency Risk Low CAD/USD asset exposure provides natural hedge; GCC investors benefit from currency diversification
Financing Risk Medium Multiple capital sources (MIC, GCC equity, bridge), pre-approved credit facilities, staged equity draws
Execution / Cost Overrun Medium Independent cost consultant, locked contractor pricing, 10% contingency reserve built into every budget
Investor Governance Low Veto power board, independent trust account managed by lawyers, weekly + monthly reporting to all stakeholders
🛡️

CANNOVA's SPV trust structure, independent advisory board and staged capital release provide institutional-grade investor protection.

SAFETY & SECURITY OF INVESTMENT

Capital protection is the primary concern of every sophisticated investor. Cannova structures every investment with multiple layers of security:

Layer 01

Registered first or second mortgage on Canadian real property — enforceable under Ontario / provincial law

Layer 02

Segregated Trust Account management — investor funds held in trust, separate from operating accounts, governed by Law Society of Ontario rules

Layer 03

Independent escrow and milestone-based drawdowns — no lump-sum deployment; capital released against verified construction milestones

Layer 04

Title insurance and comprehensive property insurance on all assets

Layer 05

Regular audited reporting — quarterly NAV statements, construction progress reports, and annual audited financials

Layer 06

SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) structure — each project sits in a ring-fenced entity; no cross-collateralisation of investor funds

Secured Asset Infrastructure Placement
Regulated Asset Protection
AAA Rated

Canada is rated AAA / Aaa by S&P, Moody's, and Fitch — one of only 9 countries globally to hold this distinction. Real property registered under the provincial Torrens title system carries the full guarantee of the Canadian Crown. Investors have never lost registered title in Canadian history.
