Earlston Investments Corp. is a private merchant bank based in Vancouver, BC. Earlston's primary focus is providing asset-backed loans to the real estate and oil and gas sectors. The principals of Earlston have over 60 years of collective lending experience and have lent in excess of $2 billion. Real Estate Lending Our real estate objective is to acquire and maintain a relatively conservative and well-diversified portfolio of mortgages in Canada and internationally that preserves capital and generates attractive returns. The Company accomplishes its investment objectives through prudent investments in mortgages to qualified real estate investors and developers and takes advantage of an under-served sector of the Canadian mortgage market by investing in shorter-term, customized mortgage loans looking for faster execution and more flexible terms than typically offered by Canadian financial institutions. Resource Lending Earlston specializes in providing debt for development and acquisition purposes in the oil and gas sectors. Typical loans range between $5 and $50 million. As a result of management's extensive experience and contacts the team is able to both tailor, structure and expedite financing solutions.
