Approximately, 80% of the Canadian residential mortgage market is comprised of “Prime” loans with relatively low margins. These are typically facilitated through institutional lenders and adjudicated based on standardized lending models. The balance of the market (approximately 20%) is referred to as the “non bank” lending segment. Operating in this space requires a more proprietary lending model, with the opportunity for increased returns.
Following the release by OSFI (Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions) of Guideline B20 in 2012, again in 2017 and in January 2018, the “non bank” space is expected to grow to 25% over the next 5 years, with MIC’s and private lenders having a 15% share of the total Canadian Mortgage market. It is expected that it will become increasingly more difficult for select borrower segments to secure residential mortgages through the “big banks”, regardless of their credit worthiness.
Institutions that provide traditional mortgage financing solutions. These include banks, credit unions, trust companies, and other chartered, deposit-taking institutions, all under the constant pressure of increased regulatory requirements such as OSFI’s Guideline B-20.
Non-regulated entities and focus their efforts on non-traditional mortgage solutions in the underserved market. These types of lending structures are typically tailored to larger scale investors, with returns directly tied to the risk appetite of the investor.
Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs)* are provincially regulated entities, and in the case of Ontario, are regulated by the Ontario Securities Commission, and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO). This area of financing caters to an ever increasing underserved market. Loans originated in this space generally present opportunities for higher returns.
