The month of December brings about the holiday season, which is marked by the celebration of numerous holidays around the world. These holidays are a time of joy, giving, celebration, family, and festivity. At Magenta, we have a lot to celebrate:
As we reflect on a prosperous year and look forward to the new year, we want to take a moment to wish you a Merry & Bright holiday season!
During the winter months when the days are at their shortest, people all around the world find solace in light. In countless traditions, gatherings, and joyous celebrations, light serves as a powerful symbol of hope, positivity, and warmth. Religious observances such as Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa use light to symbolize important virtues like goodness, divine energy, knowledge, and wisdom. For these celebrations, the use of light can also hold deeper significance such as the symbolization of historical events. To learn more about the history of light during the holiday season, please click here.
As daylight savings time comes to an end in Canada, we embrace the opportunity to brighten our homes with displays of light and invite people to gather together and be merry.
At Magenta, we wish you a Merry & Bright holiday season as the very words “merry” and “bright” perfectly capture the essence of this time of year. “Merry” signifies cheerfulness and liveliness, while “bright” symbolizes the abundant light that surrounds us all during the holidays.

A 29-year track record of reliable income and strong returns.*
Summer has begun! Airlines are booked for family vacations abroad while the beaches here in Ontario will host crowds of people. Cottages and campsites will see loved ones enjoying outdoor sports, campfires, and quality time. That’s what summer is all about – resetting, clearing our heads and choosing how we want to spend our valuable time and energy – whether that’s through self-care or making memories with loved ones.
But how do we achieve a carefree summer in a world where we are overly scheduled and carrying the mental load of current events, money, and more specifically, investments? We know we should build for our future and our children’s futures, and that pressure can be stressful…but it doesn’t have to be.
Since 1994, our goal at Magenta has been to empower our investors to build for their tomorrows and achieve peace of mind by applying a conservative portfolio strategy to deliver reliable income and strong returns. As one of Canada’s largest and most established MICs, we have maintained our strong track record by financing quality residential real estate in carefully selected Ontario markets.

At Magenta, our goal is to create a work environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued and supported to thrive in their careers and reach their professional goals. We are proud to share that our Senior Leadership team is comprised of 43% women and that women make up around 68% of our employees.
This year, we are pursuing our first ever Women in Mortgages campaign! We encourage you to keep an eye on our social media channels and upcoming blogs to learn more about how we are contributing to uplifting women within the mortgage industry. As part of this initiative, we will be a silver sponsor at CMP’s (Canadian Mortgage Professional) Women in Mortgage Summit! On June 1st, CMP is hosting their inaugural event to amplify the careers of women within the mortgage industry through panel discussions, keynote speakers and fireside chats to create dialogue around some of our industry’s most pressing issues and discuss potential solutions.
We believe in celebrating the positive impact women at Magenta have had on the company and our industry. We want to lead by example in hopes that our peers feel inspired to pursue their own initiatives and recognize the phenomenal contributions of women on their own teams. We strive to leverage diverse perspectives to achieve our corporate goals and find actionable ways to support the women within the mortgage industry, whether they are new or seasoned in their careers.
When presented with the Women in Mortgage Summit sponsorship opportunity, Our Chief Operating Officer, Greg Sinclair, confirmed that supporting this campaign was an easy decision: “Quite simply, Magenta would not be what it is today without the strong women that have contributed and continue to contribute to the Magenta story. By sponsoring this event we get to support the continued growth of women in mortgages and celebrate their accomplishments.” Studies have shown that when men are deliberately engaged in gender inclusion programs, 96% of organizations see progress.
CMP’s event provides us with an opportunity to highlight our female broker network and what they have accomplished. This event also allows us to acknowledge the challenges faced by women in the mortgage industry. We are thrilled to be a key sponsor for an event designed to break down barriers and level the playing field for long-term success because her tomorrow matters.
At Magenta, we create a culture that exhibits allyship and provides a safe space for people to express ideas, feelings, challenges, and opportunities regardless of gender, race, orientation, or background. We’re at our best when we collaborate and leverage the diverse perspectives and knowledge of our team. If we limit any one person’s ideas, we’re limiting ourselves.
Our Founder & CEO firmly believes that “we find the best people and hire them. [He] believe[s] passionately in equality of opportunity.”
We create collaborative teams and encourage our employees to commend work well done while respectfully challenging one another to produce the best possible results. To achieve this goal, we first acknowledge that everyone has unconscious biases.
Unconscious bias is sneaky and affects our day-to-day interactions and decision- making. Even those with the best intentions can be swayed by assumptions shaped by external factors like the media or life experiences without knowing it. To overcome unconscious bias and be true allies, we should accept that we all have biases, listen carefully to the individual perspectives of others, make informed decisions, and recognize the influences in our own backgrounds, both personally and professionally, that may have given us advantages that weren’t available to others. The end goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of who they are, has equal opportunities to contribute and succeed in the workplace.
Here are some actionable items we try to exhibit in our day-to-day:
Listen. Don’t just hear: Listen carefully to what your colleagues are saying, and asking for, in order to properly address what they want or need.
Prepare and be informed: Before presenting to your team, or leading large group discussions, prepare with colleagues and talk about the approach you’d like to take. It will help you recognize and unlearn unconscious biases. It will also give you the opportunity to recognize intersectionality within your team.
Respect your colleagues’ time: No one likes to be told what to do. No matter their position in the organization, they have commitments, and they need to deliver on them. Ask them how you can support them to achieve what needs to be done.
Communicate clearly: Don’t assume that what you know is what your colleagues know. Explain and share your rationale without being condescending.
Uplift your colleagues: Find opportunities for everyone to be acknowledged through forms of recognition, promotions or highlighting them in other ways.
We are committed to recognizing women in mortgages throughout the year. We encourage our broker community and industry partners to engage with us on our social channels and share how they acknowledge and celebrate women in our industry, because #hertomorrowmatters.

It’s official – Viva Magenta is Pantone’s colour of the year! To kick off 2023, here’s a quick overview of the origin of Magenta Capital Corporation’s name and what it means for our stakeholders as we live up to the expectations set by not only ourselves, but also by Pantone’s
Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, a pulsating colour whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration. Exuding dynamism, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta is a transformative red tone capable of driving design to create a more positive future.
– Gavin Marshall, Founder and CEO, created and named Magenta in 1994
The name Magenta was inspired by a sunset observed by Gavin Marshall (Magenta’s Founder & CEO) and his father, some time ago. To him, the colour represented hope, excitement, and longing for the possibilities of a better tomorrow. This is also how our tagline “Your tomorrow matters” originated.
Pantone sees optimism and possibility in the magenta colour, and so did our founder almost 30 years ago. We are looking forward to empowering our investors, brokers, borrowers, and employees to create bright tomorrows in 2023 and beyond!
Our goal at Magenta is to deliver strong and dependable investment returns that our investors and their families can rely on.
Holding true to the psychology of Viva Magenta, we offer the assurance and stability to weather long-term disruptive life events. We overcame the dot com bubble in 2000, the recession in 2008 and the global pandemic in 2020. Magenta was and always will remain a source of strength.
Magenta has always been proud of the product flexibility we offer our broker partners and their clients. We look beyond the credit score and restrictive institutional qualification requirements, and work with our partners to create solutions for Ontarians. Our goal is to make the dream of home ownership more attainable.
Viva Magenta is a transformative red tone capable of driving design to create a more positive future. According to Pantone, the colour also encourages experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement.
We strive to stand out in the mortgage industry (not only because of our name and brand colour) but because we use a common-sense, empathetic approach on how we do business, listening closely to our broker partners and their clients, and innovating with our products and services to empower Ontarians to fulfill their dreams of home ownership.
At Magenta, we have fostered an environment where we celebrate our accomplishments and encourage outsidethe box thinking, ensuring that everyone on our team is heard, empowered, and motivated to achieve our collective goals.
Viva Magenta is a colour that is audacious, full of wit and inclusive of all. It is fun yet inspiring, celebratory yet bold. The Viva Magenta metaverse creates new opportunities for us to express ourselves and inspires us to do so with confidence and bravery.
The same can be said for our Magenta, where we create opportunities for our peers, encourage everyone to voice their opinions and demonstrate curiosity by asking questions that challenge conventional ways of thinking. We create the Magenta culture; a culture of inclusivity, innovation, empowerment, and fun!
Magenta looks forward to enhancing its ESG (environmental, social and governance) strategy this year.
Viva Magenta talks about movements that swell around climate change, sustainability, and land protection.
Magenta enhanced its environmental contributions by partnering with Carbonzero (a leader in corporate carbon management strategies) to offset GHGs (greenhouse gases). Last year, we chose their Thermal Residential Heating Aggregation Project which replaces conventional fossil fuel combustion heating with solar heating systems at private and commercial swimming pool locations across Canada. Choosing this project helped to offset our emissions from 2021.
“It is critical that we make sure that the colour really reflect what’s taking place in the global culture at that moment in time. Pantone Colour of the Year isn’t about what the colour is going to represent three years from now, or what it represented last year. It is about what we see for the immediate upcoming year.”
What distinguishes this year’s Colour of the Year from last year’s — PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri, which also married the technical with nature — is Viva Magenta’s ability to answer our collective need for strength.
Viva Magenta offers us the assurance and motivation we need to weather long-term disruptive events. Three years deep into a pandemic, facing a war, an unstable economy, social unrest, supply chain breakdowns, and mounting climate change, we need to heal. And still, we need to find the motivation to continue. Here, Viva Magenta cloaks us in both power and grace, and sends us out into the world with the verve we’ve yearned for.
Pantone’s Colour of The Year, Viva Magenta 18-750, vibrates with vim and vigor. It is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.
