Disciplined access to private markets, built on verified diligence

MREF is an OSC-licensed Exempt Market Dealer connecting accredited and eligible investors with rigorously vetted private offerings across every sector — real estate, private equity, credit, infrastructure, and more.

Our Story

MREF was founded in 2021 by a small group of private markets professionals who saw a gap between institutional-quality investment opportunities and the investors who wanted access to them.

In 2025, MREF became a registered Exempt Market Dealer under NI 31-103, licensed by the Ontario Securities Commission. We work exclusively with issuers who pass our internal due diligence framework, giving investors a single trusted point of access to private placements across real estate, private equity, credit, infrastructure, and other sectors.

We don't develop or manage the properties we offer. Our role is to vet, structure, and distribute — so investors can evaluate opportunities with confidence.

"Our job isn't to sell deals. It's to make sure the deals we bring forward can withstand scrutiny."
— MREF Investment Committee

What We Stand For

Rigorous Diligence

Every offering is assessed against our 8+1 Benchmark Framework before it reaches an investor.

Transparency

Clear disclosure of risk, fees, and structure — no information asymmetry between issuer and investor.

Independence

We are not affiliated with the issuers we distribute for, and hold no ownership stake in their assets.

Suitability First

We assess fit before offering access — not every offering is right for every investor.

Inclusive Access

We support Shariah-compliant and conventional structures side by side, reviewed to the same standard.

Long-Term View

We prioritize issuers with durable track records over short-term yield chasing.

How We Work

1

Issuer Screening

We evaluate management track record, governance structure, and financial history before any offering is considered.

Each Offering Memorandum is assessed across governance, disclosure, valuation, liquidity, and risk criteria.

3

KYP Certification

Offerings that meet our standard receive a Know-Your-Product score and tier rating, published on every listing.

4

Investor Suitability

We evaluate management track record, governance structure, and financial history before any offering is considered.

5
