HEAR WHAT OUR INVESTORS ARE SAYING
I’m pleased to share my positive experience with Equiton. I am currently invested in Equiton’s Residential Income Fund and thus far happy with my returns. Also impressed with the company’s professionalism, transparency, and commitment to delivering value to investors. Their investment offering is presented and structured well.
My experience with Equiton has been very positive. I had connected with Rob Mills, a wonderful gentleman, who was very clear and precise on everything from the beginning and appreciated his honesty and integrity. I have had absolutely no problems to date and I look forward to working with Rob and Equiton in the future.
When it comes to combining professionalism, trust, and true friendship, Rob Mills from Equiton sets the gold standard. From the very first conversation, Rob didn’t just sell us on an investment—he educated us, empowered us, and made us feel like partners in the process. Every question we had, he answered with clarity.
As a new investor, I needed a lot of explanation on which path works best for me. My advisor, Rob Mills, gave me so much time and patience and held my hand through my first investment into passive investing. I met Rob when he literally ran up to me and fellow investors at a conference to ensure we had his card for follow up questions.
Equiton has been a solid and rewarding investment choice. I’ve been consistently impressed with the performance of their real estate portfolios and the transparency they maintain with investors. A big shoutout to Lauren Cheng, who has been an exceptional advisor throughout my journey. She is knowledgeable and responsive.
Marco Accardo took the time to explain the investment strategy in a clear, transparent, and professional manner—always focusing on what matters most: protecting capital while delivering stable performance. His ability to simplify complex concepts without being overly promotional is refreshing and shows his deep industry knowledge.
My experience working with Equiton has been fabulous. I have started to see the results of passive real estate investing. Devon Fleck, has been outstanding—he’s open to answer every question given and provides knowledgeable support. I’m very happy with the service, the professionalism of the team and would advise anyone to invest with Equiton.

These conflicts are managed through disclosure, including our relationship disclosure document.

Risks, Liquidity, and Distributions
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There may be no secondary market for securities of related or comparable issuers, and no assurance that one will develop. Any distributions may be reduced, suspended, or discontinued and depend on numerous factors such as financial performance, covenants, interest rates, working capital, capital needs, taxation, and market conditions. Past performance may not be repeated. The value of an investment may go down as well as up. An investment is not a complete investment program and should be made only after consulting independent investment and tax advisors.

This website may contain forward-looking information about future events or performance. Such statements are based on assumptions and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially.

There is no guarantee that an investment will achieve its objectives or that an investor will receive any amount of their capital invested.
Benchmarks and Indices
Benchmarks are provided for illustrative comparison only. Benchmarks and indices differ in composition, risk profile, and volatility, and you cannot invest directly in an index. They should be viewed as a general point of reference rather than a direct comparison. Any comparison with a benchmark is therefore limited and may not be an appropriate measure of performance.

Commissions, management fees and other charges may be associated with investments. Refer to the offering documents for information about costs. Any performance information shown may differ from actual investor experience once fees and expenses are considered.
