What Happens After You Invest? A Look Inside the Investor Journey with Checkmark đ§đź
From Onboarding to Ongoing ReportingâHereâs What to Expect as a Checkmark Investor
Investing in private markets can feel unfamiliarâespecially if youâre used to buying stocks with a few clicks or parking money in a GIC. At Checkmark Capital, we understand that transparency and trust are everything. Thatâs why weâve built an investor experience thatâs clear, professional, and proactiveâfrom the moment you invest to the day your capital is returned.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor or brand new to private bonds, hereâs a step-by-step look at what happens after you invest with Checkmark Bonds.
1ď¸âŁ Onboarding: A Simple, Regulated Process
Once youâve reviewed the opportunity and expressed interest, your journey begins with a licensed Exempt Market Dealer (EMD)âa registered professional who helps ensure your investment is suitable based on your financial situation and risk tolerance.
Youâll complete a few simple steps:
- â
A Know Your Client (KYC) form
- â
A short eligibility review (accredited or eligible investor status)
- â
A clear, easy-to-read subscription agreement
This process typically takes less than an hour and ensures full regulatory compliance. It’s designed to protect you, not complicate the process.
2ď¸âŁ Investment Confirmation & Capital Deployment đđ¸
Once your investment is approved and processed, youâll receive:
- An official confirmation email
- A copy of your signed documents
- Details on when your funds will be deployed
- A schedule outlining interest payments (monthly or quarterly, depending on the offering)
Your capital is then deployed into a secured, asset-backed opportunityâsuch as real estate or a private lending project. Each bond offering has its own term, yield, and repayment structure, which is fully explained up front.
3ď¸âŁ Regular Income & Transparent Reporting đđŹ
Once your investment is active, you begin receiving fixed income payments on the agreed schedule. These payments are typically:
- Direct-deposited to your bank account
- Or credited to your registered account (e.g., RRSP or TFSA)
Throughout the life of the investment, youâll also receive:
- Quarterly updates on the performance of your investment
- Annual tax reporting documents (e.g., T5 slips)
- Ad-hoc updates if material changes or milestones occur
We believe in proactive communicationânot radio silence. Our team is always available to answer questions or walk through your investment documents.
4ď¸âŁ Maturity & Repayment đľâ
When the bond reaches the end of its term, your original principal is returned as outlined in your agreement. This is often the point when many investors choose to reinvest, using the same simple onboarding process theyâre already familiar with.
With a 100% on-time repayment record to date, Checkmark has earned the trust of a growing base of repeat investors across Canada.
