About Vision Capital Corporation:

Vision Capital Corporation ("Vision" or the "Manager") is the Manager of the Vision Opportunity Funds (the "Funds"), private equity funds that focus on investments in publicly-traded securities in the real estate sector.

Vision targets inefficiencies that generate a lower cost base, less risk and superior liquidity compared to direct property investments. The Funds have the flexibility to invest globally; however, they operate primarily in North America to benefit from unique inefficiencies inherent in the pricing of Canadian and select U.S. publicly-traded real estate securities.

The Manager employs a long-short strategy and selectively utilizes active investing strategies to improve returns and employs a value based approach.

The Funds benefit from the combined 85 years of experience, expertise, insights, and relationships in the real estate sector of its portfolio managers, Jeffrey Olin, Frank Mayer, and Andrew Moffs.

Vision targets superior risk-adjusted returns and is particularly focused on capital preservation as a core component of its strategy.

The Funds have received considerable industry recognition for their leading risk-adjusted total return performance including from the Morningstar Canadian Investment Awards, Global Emerging Manager Awards, and the Canadian Hedge Fund of the Year Awards.

Vision believes that the substantial personal investments of its portfolio managers in the Funds provides strong alignment to deliver significant risk-adjusted returns.
