Top Impacting Factors

With increase in risk among equity and other financial instruments, investors are looking for safer assets and expecting a monthly payment, which is one of the major factors that drive the market growth.

In addition, FTSE Canada NHA MBS 975 Index, which accounts for National Housing Act mortgage-backed securities, provides a transparent indicator for nearly $500 billion market.  

Increasing Demand in China

In China, government is encouraging investments in mortgage related securities. The country has aimed at real estate investment trusts to leverage capital accumulation. Moreover, Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs), which is a company that owns income-producing real estate, enhances growth of funds for reinvestment by raising financial capital and reducing company debt in the market. Hence, China is expected to launch mutual funds to public REITs, which can be freely traded in the country's markets as stocks. The move was set to pool more investments to accumulate capital for building properties and other government reforms such as roads, hospitals, sewage facilities, and housing.
