Portfolio+ Inc. releases a reverse mortgage solution for Canadian alternative lenders and financial institutions.

Portfolio+ recognizes the notable growth of reverse mortgages over the past decade supported by an increasing number of seniors looking to leverage home equity as a retirement funding source.

In December of 2022, the reverse mortgage industry was valued at approximately $15 billion, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% over the previous five years. Analysts project this growth to continue, if not accelerate, with expectations of the market reaching upwards of $20 billion by 2025.
