−Removed: Canadian Mortgage and Mortgage Brokerage Industry
−Removed: to the Bank of Canada, as of May 1, 2022 , Canada’s chartered banks held over $1.523 trillion of residential mortgages
−Removed: (which amount does not include mortgages held by provincially regulated entities such as credit unions or mortgage investment corporations).
−Removed: Mortgage lenders typically offer a range of products, with options for fixed or variable rates, varying terms and amortization periods,
−Removed: as well as differing ancillary terms for pre-payment, incentives or other matters.
−Removed: Interest rates are typically renegotiated every three
−Removed: While mortgage lenders post both fixed and variable interest rates at which the lender offers mortgages of varying terms,
−Removed: typically most lenders are willing to negotiate interest rates lower than those posted, a practice referred to as “discounting”.
−Removed: The practice began in Canada in the early 1990s and is considered the norm in today’s mortgage market.
−Removed: The practice of discounting
−Removed: permits mortgage lenders to improve their ability to price discriminate and offer different rates to different borrowers based on their
−Removed: willingness to pay.
−Removed: Price discrimination allows lenders to increase their profits through negotiating different rates with individual
−Removed: borrowers instead of offering a blanket reduction in rates.
−Removed: The advent of price discrimination in the Canadian mortgage market has increased
−Removed: the importance of the mortgage broker in the lending negotiation process.
−Removed: In return for a fee (paid by the lending institution), the
−Removed: mortgage broker is typically able to negotiate a better rate than the consumer, or to efficiently reduce the time and effort required
−Removed: to be applied by the consumer to achieve similar results.
−Removed: Mortgage brokers are provincially regulated and subject to training and licensing
−Removed: requirements.
−Removed: See “Regulatory Environment” for details.
−Removed: However, there are relatively few barriers to entry in the mortgage
−Removed: brokerage market.
−Removed: Nevertheless, the ability of a given mortgage broker to erode lender price discrimination and secure rates at the lower
−Removed: end of the range at which lenders are prepared to lend is dependent upon a number of factors.
−Removed: While experience and negotiating ability
−Removed: are relevant factors, a key factor in the potential success of a mortgage broker in securing advantageous rates is the bargaining power
−Removed: of the mortgage broker, which varies directly with the volume of mortgages the broker is able to place with lenders.
−Removed: Growth Strategy
−Removed: overall aim has been to increase market share through organic (non-acquisition related) means and to achieve growth on the number of
−Removed: mortgages funded annually.
−Removed: In an effort to accomplish our growth goals, we maintain a consistent, focus on recruiting Field Agents and
−Removed: overall Users.
−Removed: We have employed a significant number of recruiters which has resulted in growth rate than most of our competitors.
−Removed: with ongoing concentrated efforts towards recruiting, it has allowed us to gain a strong understanding of the competitive models that
−Removed: exist and also to continually enhance our offerings in the most effective way to recruit and retain qualified Field Agents.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: through MyPineapple, we are able to support Field Agents growth in sales volume, productivity and efficiency in delivering mortgage solutions
−Removed: and increasing corporate revenue.
−Removed: Our aim has always been to have the leading model on which to recruit and support Field Agents, based
−Removed: on offering them a superior value-proposition.
−Removed: Brokerage Market Conditions
−Removed: January 1, 2018, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (“OSFI”) adopted Guideline B-20 - Residential
−Removed: Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures (the “Guideline B-20”).
−Removed: The revised Guideline B-20 applies to all federally
−Removed: regulated financial institutions.
−Removed: The changes to Guideline B-20 reinforce OSFI’s expectation that federally regulated mortgage
−Removed: lenders remain vigilant in their mortgage underwriting practices.
−Removed: As Guideline B-20 made mortgage borrowing more difficult for many Canadians,
−Removed: management believes more Canadians may have turned to mortgage brokers to help navigate the complex rules.
−Removed: Management expects that mortgage
−Removed: brokers will increase their market share in the coming years due to the following factors:
−Removed: Mortgage regulations have become more stringent in recent years, affecting the number of individuals that can qualify
−Removed: for conventional bank mortgages.
−Removed: As a result, these individuals are turned away from banks and seek out mortgage brokers for assistance
−Removed: in obtaining a mortgage.
−Removed: With new products to offer, mortgage brokers will tend to appeal to a larger demographic/population base and also retain
−Removed: clients more effectively.
−Removed: Twenty years ago, only a minimal percentage of the Canadian population used mortgage brokers, as brokers were viewed
−Removed: generally as a last resort to obtaining a mortgage.
−Removed: Over the years, this perception has shifted, and Canadians are now using mortgage
−Removed: brokers to obtain better mortgage rates and to save money.
−Removed: The generation that was reaching a home-buying age when brokers had little
−Removed: or no market share is aging and continually being replaced by younger, mortgage broker friendly Canadians.
−Removed: of Mortgages:
−Removed: Many consumers are not sufficiently financially literate to ask the right questions when applying for a loan at a bank.
−Removed: As financial products become more complicated, more Canadians seek assistance to understand the complexities and alternatives.
−Removed: Broker Business Sophistication:
−Removed: As mortgage broker business sophistication increases, the Company expects the volume of renewal business
−Removed: funded by mortgage brokers to increase.
−Removed: Rates May Increase:
−Removed: As interest rates have been at historical lows for a significant period, many believe that interest rates will
−Removed: increase in years to come.
−Removed: In a higher interest rate environment, the Company anticipates that a growing proportion of consumers
−Removed: will likely shop for the best mortgage opportunities, driving the more conservative “single-bank” mortgage consumers
−Removed: to use mortgage brokers.
−Removed: By utilizing MyPineapple and other available technologies, mortgage brokers have the ability to access client demographic and credit
−Removed: information and quickly and efficiently disseminate credit applications to various lenders across Canada.
−Removed: Technology provides the
−Removed: mortgage broker and clients with the ability to efficiently access home specific and third-party data such as appraisals, credit
−Removed: reports and related credit application information in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner.
