■ CMHC, CDIC and OSFI coordinating more restrictive mortgage lending rules for dominant FRFE lenders
■ Governments and regulators want more private capital and market discipline injected in the Canadian mortgage market

MIC’s structure require borrowers to be charged 6-12%.
MICs are the most significant unregulated lenders. The 4 Largest MICs have limited single family exposure, Smaller MICs tend to be regional and direct New Lat competitors. The problem with MICs are:
High cost of capital as MICs offer investors returns of 5-10%
The MIC structure is legally constrained on ownership and leverage.
MICs are too small to effectively diversify risk or amortize expenses.
Difficult for MICs to scale up or down to respond to market environment.
MIC’s Management generally have little skin in the game.
MIC management’s interest may not be aligned with investors.
