Jigsaw Investment Enhanced Income Fund – JIEIF
Investment Strategy
In the current market real estate investors and business owners need access to efficient, reliable, low friction debt to take advantage of investment opportunities. Jigsaw Investment Partners provides private lending solutions of either senior or junior secured mortgage loans. The opportunity with second mortgage loans is a higher rate of return with low loan to values (LTV) behind senior mortgages that are longer term, low fixed rates and generally include impounds for taxes and insurance. In general borrowers have taken advantage of the sustained low rate environment brought about by the mortgage crisis 10 years ago. These borrowers may have attractive first mortgages but still need access to equity.
