Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Trust Announces Strong Third Quarter Results

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:29:00 EST

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 5, 2009) - Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Trust (the "Trust") (TSX:FC.UN), today released its financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Management of the Trust is focused on the preservation of unitholders' equity and it is important for unitholders to understand that protecting our equity and maintaining a strong foundation for years to come is our key strategic objective. From September 2008 to date we have seen our portfolio reduced from $260 million to $174 million confirming that the short term nature of the portfolio allows it to be adjusted to reflect current market conditions. Management believes that this disciplined approach to lending further demonstrates management's focus on the long term and that is not taking unnecessary risks to generate short term gains. As always, we will only grow the Trust's portfolio if we are satisfied with the security and return on new investments.
