About

LEAGUE Investment Services Inc. commenced operations in September 2010 when it became an Exempt Market Dealer, registered in all Canadian jurisdictions across Canada. LEAGUE's mandate is to provide its 3,200 investor Member-Partners access to institutional style investments.

Founded in 2005, LEAGUE Financial Partners, has rapidly evolved into one of Canada's fastest growing real estate asset managers with over $1 billion in assets under management. This includes the IGW REIT, a $300 million Real Estate Investment Trust, comprised of a portfolio of Canadian commercial, industrial and residential properties and the $410-million Partners REIT (TSX: PAR.UN), an open-end real estate investment trust focused on acquiring and managing a portfolio of retail and mixed-use retail community and neighbourhood centres. LEAGUE Financial Partners. is also involved in a number of individual Limited Partnerships ranging from office buildings to Big Box retail power centres.

It is the aim of the LEAGUE Financial Partners to empower the families of its Member-Partners through the provision of Intergenerational Wealth™ so that they can improve the quality of their own lives and ultimately be able to help improve the quality of the lives of others.

LEAGUE Asset Corporation believes that strategy matters. Simply tracking the broader real estate market is not enough. Value creation is primarily achieved through the refurbishment, active management and positioning of property assets. To accomplish this the following time tested strategy is utilized:

STRATEGY ONE: MULTIPLE MARKET DIVERSITY Concentrate on mid-market Canadian properties with pronounced relative strength versus other property markets or ones that have a distinctive opportunity created by characteristics of the given market. Strong job and population growth, rising rental rates, occupancy rates and positive asset price momentum are given strong consideration; as are a property market’s vibrancy, culture and overall creative class of urban inhabitants.

STRATEGY TWO: FIND FIX FILL Find Properties operating below their realizable value. Implement refined enhancement process based on capital improvements and the implementation of value added tenant services where operational cost savings can be achieved. Realize higher funds from operations driven by increased occupancy with higher quality tenants.

STRATEGY THREE: ACTIVE ASSET ALLOCATION Adjust to changing market opportunities by actively deploying capital between property classes and subclasses. Major asset classes include: Retail, industrial, office and residential. Subclasses include: Renewed retail sites, converted use industrial, sustainable refurbished office and modern residential conversions.

LEAGUE understands that trust is the foundation of its relationship with its Member-Partners. With this in mind we adhere to a long list of commitments:

Ethical responsibility

First and foremost is Our Credo. Its principles assure accountability to our Member-Partners and the communities in which we operate, not just legally, but also morally and ethically. These principles, together with our employee and director Codes of Conduct, guide every aspect of our conduct every day. And they always will.

Integrity Guarantee

Since LEAGUE Asset Corporation's variable compensation is dependent upon its performance, its Integrity Guarantee means its interests are always aligned with the interests of LEAGUE's Member-Partners. LEAGUE Asset Corporation earns 20% of the increase in rents and/or the capital value of property's through its value creation strategies.

Transparency

Keeping Member-Partners informed is very important to us. Proof of our commitment to transparency, as set out in 16^th, 17^th and 18^th tenets of Our Credo, can be found in our news section. Take note of the extent to which we keep everyone informed. We pride ourselves in our communications and transparency policies, and we think you'll be hard-pressed to find any that rival ours. Please see: http://league.ca/credo

Accountability

Especially in times such as these when so many financial leaders have been "weighed in the balance and found wanting", we're proud to lead the way by publicly measuring our private performance. To our knowledge, LEAGUE is a leader in at least two respects: first, no other private REIT conducts quarterly unit revaluations; and second, no other conducts independent semiannual total portfolio reappraisals. Thus Member-Partners are always assured that their investments are continually and independently priced.

Member Service Oath

In our past Members' Satisfaction Survey, 91% of respondents said they would confidently recommend LEAGUE to others. This speaks volumes about our commitment to Member Service.

We invite you to put us to the test. See for yourself that we do what we say we'll do. Give us a call. You'll never have to plead for attention. And if you ever feel we've made a mistake, just let us know (politely, please) and we'll adhere to the 2nd tenet of Our Credo: "When mistakes are made we will acknowledge them openly, correct them immediately, and look upon each as an opportunity to gain valuable lessons from the experience."

If you have questions or wish to subscribe to any LEAGUE investment, call one of our friendly and knowledgeable Member Services Managers at 1.877.772.8836, they will be happy to speak with you. Or click here to have LEAGUE contact you. He or she will take good care of you. If ever you need anything, all you need do is ask. That's what we're here for.

"Learn. Earn. Live. Give.™", are the four basic precepts upon which LEAGUE built its philosophy of Intergenerational Wealth™ creation, preservation and perpetuation:

Precept One: Learn

LEAGUE believes investors must have the ability to make wise decisions on their own. This means learning how to discern an investment's potential for risk and reward. That's why LEAGUE provides educational material and professional support resources: so its Member-Partners can be completely self-reliant. We believe that when all the facts are presented clearly and concisely, you can make an informed decision. Thus equipped, you can then train your children and grandchildren to perpetuate the family's Intergenerational Wealth™ of values and traditions, as well as assets. When you invest with LEAGUE you know that the people investing alongside you-your fellow Member-Partners-know what you know. They're like-minded and have the same expectations as you. In times of economic uncertainty, they won't be swayed by rhetoric. Instead, each individual's own critical thinking skills will protect them from seductive promises or scare tactics, which ultimately protects the group from the volatility that stems from investor uncertainty. And that's good for everyone.

Precept Two: Earn

The best place to grow your nest-egg is where the people who create and manage the investment will benefit most when the value of your investment increases. We call this the principle of Positive Interdependence. It's the "Golden Rule" with an entrepreneurial twist: what's good for you is good for LEAGUE, and vice versa. LEAGUE Asset Corporation's "Integrity Guarantee" (which you'll read more about in the Blue Book), was founded on this principle. It means that LEAGUE Asset Corporation prospers when LEAGUE's Member-Partners do. LEAGUE Asset Corporation takes no up-front ownership in from the properties purchased and managed. Instead there is a sharing in a portion of the increase in value created by value realization strategies. This keeps the focus on doing what it takes to continually increase your investment's value.

Precept Three: Live

We believe the best retirement nest egg is one you can nibble on along the way if you want to. We want our Member-Partners to live financially independent lives, full of opportunity and possibility-even before they retire. That's why LEAGUE offers investments with the potential to appreciate in value, or provide income, or both. Such investments are intended to help you make the most of your present and your future. Ultimately, it all amounts to having more choices when it comes to the use of your investment proceeds. Whether you choose to live off your investment income now or reinvest it for maximum growth, LEAGUE's investments are intended to help you make the most of your life.

Precept Four: Give

LEAGUE's chief aim is the creation and perpetuation of wealth across generations of our Member-Partners' families. Everything we do is a means to this end either directly or, owing to the principle of Positive Interdependence, indirectly. We believe that it is only by reaching past our own lifetimes to improve the lives of those who come after us that we can make our financial goals truly meaningful-and make the world a better place in the process. One's life becomes one's legacy. The 12th tenet of Our Credo explains it this way: We believe that with each investment we initiate and each new Member-Partner we help to achieve Intergenerational Wealth™, we add strength to the fabric of our free society. Through such proliferation of enduring familial wealth-of values, traditions and capital-society as a whole may be improved as future generations of our families are afforded the freedom to devote their time and unique talents to vocations or pursuits that they enjoy, provide personal fulfillment, and through which they may contribute to the betterment of humanity; and finally, take it upon themselves to purposefully train up their children and grand-children to do the same. Thus, to achieve its mission LEAGUE is counting on what its Member-Partners are able to effect as a result of the increased quality of life afforded them by LEAGUE's provision of Intergenerational Wealth™ and its attendant philosophies and values.

Leading by Example

LEAGUE Financial Partners has committed to donating 5% of its net profit annually (see below). In accordance with the 21st tenet of Our Credo, "We will continually invest a portion of our time, our expertise and our capital in the improvement of the quality of human life by partnering with select individuals and organizations whose vision and values align with our own, whose financial motives and practices are sound. Through our charitable foundation, we will encourage and empower our Member-Partners to do the same." Grants will be made to organizations that focus on poverty, economic injustice, homelessness and affordable housing-such as Absolute Leadership (absolute.org) and the Greater Victoria Housing Society (www.greatervichousing.org/donors.html). And since we believe the greatest effect one can have on one's own life is affecting the lives of others through giving-not just of material wealth, but of oneself as well-we will always empower and encourage our Member-Partners to do the same. And that is the reason we have set up a charitable foundation.

The LEAGUE Foundation

LEAGUE Charitable Foundation operates as a donor-advised pool of funds to be dispersed to various philanthropic causes. In addition to our own donations mentioned above, the foundation invites donations from Member-Partners, issues tax receipts, and forwards the funds to other charities as directed by the individual donors. A donor-advised fund offers a flexible low-cost avenue for charitable giving as an alternative to direct giving or creating a private foundation. Donors enjoy administrative convenience and tax advantages by directing their donations through the fund. And because LEAGUE Financial Partners donates the time of its staff, there are no administration fees, so 100% of donations go to work immediately. Thus, through LEAGUE, you'll learn more, earn more, live more and give more-all thanks to our desire to help you create Intergenerational Wealth™ for your family.

Intergenerational Wealth™ is the creation, preservation, and transfer of a family’s wealth of capital, knowledge, traditions, and values.
