The Block Just Got Bigger
We are proud to announce our acquisition of Fisgard Asset Management Corporation.
Together, Neighbourhood and Fisgard will form one of Canada’s largest alternative mortgage lenders and lead the charge in changing the landscape of the alternative lending industry.
Neighbourhood will also begin to manage Fisgard’s MIC, Fisgard Capital Corporation (FCC) along with the Neighbourhood Holdings Income Trust 1 (NHIT). In addition, Neighbourhood’s exempt market dealer, Neighbourhood Holdings Capital Management, will also welcome FAMC’s over 2500 clients.
Neighbourhood’s landmark acquisition of Fisgard marks a major milestone in Canada’s alternative mortgage industry.
Collectively, the two firms have funded more than $5 billion in mortgages across over 10,000 transactions nationwide.
The combination creates a platform that can compete effectively at scale while maintaining the local relationships and disciplined practices that define both firms.
Neighbourhood × Fisgard
A Partnership of Strength
Looking Ahead Together
At Neighbourhood, we’ve long admired Fisgard’s reputation for integrity, discipline, and commitment to its investors, borrowers, and brokers. Fisgard’s decades of leadership and stability have set a standard of excellence in Canada’s mortgage industry—one that aligns closely with our own values and vision.
By bringing our teams together, we’re carrying that legacy forward while continuing to raise the bar for transparency, performance, and innovation. This partnership represents the best of both worlds: Fisgard’s experience and relationships combined with Neighbourhood’s modern infrastructure and growth-driven approach to lending.
Together, we’re building a stronger future for Canada’s alternative lending landscape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mortgage Brokers
-
Neighbourhood has officially welcomed Fisgard to the family — bringing together two respected alternative lenders to build something even stronger.
From now on, all new mortgage originations will be funded under the Neighbourhood banner. The familiar Fisgard team you’ve worked with is now part of one unified brand, giving you:
Expanded product options to better serve your clients
More resources and support to make every deal smoother
Broader national reach under a trusted, established lender
Your relationships stay exactly where they’ve always been — with the same people, the same service, and a shared commitment to making alternative lending simple, straightforward, and transparent.
-
All new mortgage originations should now be submitted to Neighbourhood.
You can keep using the same platforms you already know — Lendesk, Filogix, and Velocity — just select Neighbourhood Holdings as the lender.
You’ll still be working with the same trusted BDMs and underwriters, now all under one roof. And this is just the beginning — over the coming months, we’re streamlining our systems to give you a faster, smoother, and more connected submission experience than ever before.
-
Good news — they’re getting better.
As the integration unfolds, you can expect an expanded suite of mortgage products designed to offer:
More flexibility across property types, loan sizes, and borrower profiles
A broader range of solutions built on the combined strengths of two experienced teams
More options to help you place deals confidently and competitively
We’re also growing our footprint. Neighbourhood plans to expand into Saskatchewan and Manitoba, giving brokers even more opportunities to serve clients across Western Canada.
This is just the start of what’s ahead.
-
Exactly who you always have.
You can keep reaching out to your current contacts — your favourite BDMs, underwriters, and support staff — just like before. All former Fisgard team members are now part of Neighbourhood, so you’ll be working with the same trusted people, now under one unified brand.
If you’re ever unsure who to contact, simply email connect@neighbourhood.com, and we’ll make sure you’re connected with the right person quickly.
-
This move creates one of Canada’s largest independent alternative lenders, with over $750M in assets under management and a decade of strong growth behind it.
It’s part of Neighbourhood’s 10-year milestone and a long-term strategy to scale significantly, expanding our national presence and deepening our impact as a leading force in alternative lending.
Our goal is simple: to raise the bar for the industry through fair and transparent lending practices that put people first.

Neighbourhood Holdings Capital Management Ltd. ("NHCM") Clients
-
Neighbourhood Holdings Ltd. bought substantially all of the assets of Fisgard Asset Management Company Ltd. ("FAMC"). As part of that purchase, NHCM will be absorbing FAMC's Team and clients, and subsequently rebranding to Fisgard Capital Management Ltd. ("FCM").
-
FAMC has several thousand clients (which is significantly more than NHCM), so we took the view that it made sense to keep the name alive for continuity purposes. Fisgard is a longstanding brand in the industry, and we are proud to continue with its heritage.
-
The name change will be delayed by the BC public service strike, but when completed, you will note the name change post-transaction on your monthly statement.

No action is required on your part, although we encourage you to review the new FCM Relationship Disclosure Information (“RDI”) that will be posted to your Investor Profile post-transaction.
