The Bloomberg report noted Home Capital can't finance new mortgages given the large outflow of capital with more withdrawals to follow.
It's possible Home Capital's problems could spread to other lenders, but it's important to keep in mind its delinquency rate is a mere 0.20 percent despite its client base, which includes small-business owners, new immigrants and borrowers who failed to obtain financing from the major banks.
Also, Home Capital's activities account for just 1 percent of the entire Canadian mortgage market. But at the end of the day, if other similar lenders see a similar outflow of capital, then Canada's housing market could run out of steam.作者: Quad 时间: 2017-5-4 11:11:56
While Home Capital offers a full complement of services including credit cards, GICs and savings accounts, it makes most of its money selling uninsured mortgages to clients who the big banks don’t cater to, usually because they have spotty credit histories, are self-employed or have otherwise uneven incomes.
