The strategy

How the Smith Manoeuvre works

A four-step process that turns your largest liability into your most powerful wealth-building engine.

01
Restructure your mortgage
Convert your existing mortgage into a readvanceable mortgage — a product that combines a traditional mortgage with a HELOC that grows as you pay down principal.
02
Redraw & invest monthly
Every dollar of principal you repay becomes available to redraw from your HELOC. That money is immediately invested in income-producing assets.
03
Deduct the HELOC interest
Because the redrawn funds are used for investment purposes, the interest on your HELOC is 100% tax-deductible under CRA guidelines — converting bad debt to good debt.
04
Reinvest your tax refund
Your annual tax refund is reinvested to buy more assets, pay down the mortgage faster, or both — creating a powerful compounding accelerator loop.

Why INIT Capital Funding

The only advisor you need for the full Smith Manoeuvre stack.

Most Canadians who attempt the Smith Manoeuvre work with a mortgage broker who refers them to a financial advisor who refers them to an insurance specialist. Three relationships, three sets of fees, and zero accountability when the pieces don't fit together.

As a licensed Mortgage Agent Level 2, LLQP Life Insurance Advisor, and Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professional, I handle the entire strategy in-house — from structuring your readvanceable mortgage to protecting your leveraged portfolio with the right insurance.

"The Smith Manoeuvre is not a product. It's a decades-long wealth strategy that requires expert coordination from day one."
