Mortgage Insurance Schemes: Discussion

11:20 am

Mr. Michael Bennett:

I would add, as a diversified insurer that writes multiple lines of business, we would seek to deploy capital for risks that we are comfortable with. I suppose mortgage insurance is a mechanism which transmits information back to lenders in terms of the standards and changes in standards.

In that context, I would see that the information flow-back to lenders would help to maintain good underwriting standards.
