Marcus Tzaferis
Managing Director
Marcus Tzaferis is an alumnus of Wilfred Laurier University where he majored in economics and finance. He graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration with Honours in 2002, which ultimately led to a position with the Investment Banking Division of a major Canadian bank as an Equity Research Associate.
In 2003, Marcus joined MorCan Financial as the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. While at MorCan Financial, Marcus’ business development and relationship management skills were key in establishing MorCan Financial as a major market player and helped foster strong relationships in the industry.
Through MorCan Financial, Marcus saw that there were deals that weren’t being funded by banks due to the Government of Canada’s shift to more conservative lending since 2008. He also saw that there was a huge opportunity to help investors access this market, and to provide borrowers with bridge-financing in order to improve their financial situation. A mortgage investment corporation proved to be the perfect vehicle to bring these lenders and borrowers together.
