MCAN is a Loan Company under the Trust and Loan Companies Act (Canada). As a Loan Company, the Company is subject to the guidelines and regulations of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). This means that our business policies and operations are conducted in accordance with the rigour expected by OSFI for financial institutions. This also means that we have access to raise funding for our balance sheet from term deposits that are insurable by the CDIC. We have been issuing low-cost term deposits since 1993 as a primary funding source for our business.

MCAN is a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Working within the criteria permitted for MICs, we strive to provide our shareholders with consistent and stable dividends. As a MIC, we are entitled to deduct the dividends we pay to shareholders from our taxable income. Being a MIC also means that our operating leverage is lower than other regulated financial institutions, which is more conservative for our shareholders.

Our History

Since 1992, our goal has been to be the preferred mortgage lender and investor in our chosen markets in Canada.

Capital Management

MCAN’s lending activities are supported by a risk appetite statement that is developed as part of our strategic planning process. The risk appetite takes into account our MIC structure and the limitations imposed by the Income Tax Act (Canada), as well as regulatory requirements of OSFI and CDIC. At all times we manage our investment operations to qualify as a MIC to allow tax efficient distributions to our shareholders. Key limits that we adhere to, and our objectives are below.

Liabilities to capital ratio of 5:1 (or assets to capital ratio of 6:1)

Minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 7% and 10.5% respectively, as required by OSFI

Minimum of 67% of non-consolidated assets held in cash, cash equivalents and residential mortgages

Maintain sufficient capital for regulatory purposes and to earn acceptable and sustainable risk-weighted returns for our shareholders
