The housing sector in Mexico has experienced a great increase over the last years. • One of the most important reasons of this increase is the growth of the mortgage market. Number of Mortgages Originated Yearly Average annual growth rate (1996 – 2005) = 9.77% Source:CONAFOVI
It is expected that between 2000 and 2030, the number of households will grow approximately 83%. Number of Homes in Mexico (millions)* * According to the definitive results of the II National Population and Housing Count, total number of homes in 2005 ascended to 24.8 million e/ = estimate.

The household formation rate will present its highest levels over the next 7 years Official estimations of population establish that in 2005, 672 thousand new households were formed nationwide. This figure will increase and reach its maximum in 2012, with 690 thousand new households.

Annual rate of compound growth : 10.1% *The projections of the mortgage portfolio are based on the potential estimated demand. An annual PIB growth rate of 3% is assumed and a decrease over the years of the home deficit that in 2005 was 8.4 million homes. Source: SHF estimations

To finance such volumes of credit it is necessary to have an efficient market for mortgage backed securities.

SHF mandate and activities • SHF was created in 2001 as a government financial institution oriented to foster the development of the primary and secondary mortgage markets. • Until 2013, SHF will count with the 100% guarantee from the Federal Government. After this moment, SHF must be self sufficient. • Today it serves as a mortgage bank and a financial guarantor. • SHF grants long term financing to financial intermediaries and covers their interest rate risk. SHF does not lend directly to individuals. • SHF offers mortgage insurance and financial guaranties and a swap that allows borrowers to pay in terms of minimum wages versus UDIS denominated loans.
SHF mandate and activities (Cont…) • According to SHF´s Law, after 2009 SHF will not be able to grant finance. Hence, it is necessary to develop alternative mechanisms of housing financing. • SHF considers the securitization of mortgages as the most efficient mechanism of house financing; and in accordance with this idea, it is focusing on accomplishing to finance most of the mortgages in Mexico through it.
SHF started operations in 2002, overtaking the activities of FOVI and has the capacity to fund in the markets. MI is offered to prepare loans for securitization SHF hedges market and prepayment risk through debt and derivatives markets Local capital and international derivatives markets Mortgage Insurance MORTGAGE LENDING Central Bank loans SOFOLES World Bank & IADB SHF funds SOFOLES on a matched funds basis, absorbing market and prepayment risk

SHF has participated actively in the securitization model. • SHF does not buy individual credits to pack and securitize them, and also will not offer 100% coverage with the GPO. Instead, SHF has been supporting the securitization of individual credits in the following way: • Offering a Mortgage Insurance of up to 35% on the first loss to the Mortgages. • Granting the swap UDIS - Minimum Wages to isolate the currency risk in the structure. • Granting Partial Financial Guaranties to structures that comply with the minimum issuance criteria. • Supporting the development of the BORHIs market through the Market Maker figure and with an active presence on the secondary market.

In order to develop in Mexico a securitization market there must be 4 key elements • The securitization process of mortgages (BORHIs) is recent, its development depends on the following key elements: • Portfolios of credit that fulfil certain minimal criteria in their origination and administration (solid and trustable mortgages). • Currently the issuances in the market are backed by portfolios that: • Fulfill a common standard in terms of strict mechanisms of origination (eligibility criteria) and administration, integration of the credit file, reports of the information, etc. • Were reviewed by a third party (insurance credit housing providers or financial guarantees) that will face loses in case of defaulting). • LTV <= 65% • Housing credit insurance or GPI • Valid credit • Complete filing (certificates of property, appraisal, etc.)
In order to develop in Mexico a securitization market there must be 4 key elements • Credit enhancers with value and trustworthy included in the market: • Currently the structures have diverse credit enhancers that strengthen them when possible defaults from debtors may occur: • Mortgage Credit Insurance or GPI • Financial Guarantees (GPO) or Partial Credit Guarantees (PCG). • 100% coverage of the full-wrap portfolios • SHF has worked together with diverse financial intermediaries and multinational organisms to participate as guarantors in these structures. The answer has been positive, since currently the IFC and FMO participate in PCGs, United and Genworth in GPI through the re-insurance figure, and this year they worked directly with Sofols and Banks. • AMBAC gave its first coverage of multinational AAA to the 100%. • We are working with the 3 credit rating agencies in the optimization of this credit enhancers that may permit to optimize the structures.
In order to develop in Mexico a securitization market there must be 4 key elements (Cont…) • The possibility of taking in firm of long term securities in behalf of the investors • The investors have shown a greater participation both in the primary and the secondary market of BORHI´s in the way in which the issuances have been done for many reasons: • A market of national and foreign investors has been developed, in its majority institutional (Siefores, Insurance companies) that have manifest appetite for securities in a long term. • The curves of the government are longer and are a reference that facilitates the development of the long term debt market that includes BORHI´s. Demand of BORHIS
In order to develop in Mexico a securitization market there must be 4 key elements (Cont…) • Efficient mechanisms of portfolio adjoin that permits to give certainty to the originators/administrators of the mortgage credits about: • The existence of a source of liquidity and continuous and safe funding trough the capital markets. • A well known interest rate to discharge their credits from their balance, and to permit to eliminate the market risk that is currently given to between the credit origination and its securitization (It takes about 28 months in average between these two events) SHF and diverse financial intermediaries have focused and been able to develop the key elements, nevertheless it hasn't been possible to advance in the following last element: Efficient mechanisms of portfolio adjoin. It is one of the reasons why the small and middle size Sofols have not shared in the securitization.
When there are no adjoin of efficient mechanisms, the current securitization model last 28 months in average Current Model The process is long, about 35 months Sofol Gives Credit Sofol Accumulates mortgages Securitization Government rate + X bp If the market conditions permit it Debtor: Requests credit Sofol Requires Funding Gives Funding
To promote the use of a vehicle that may guarantee the liquidity of the originators and eliminates the market risk between origination and securitization, a solution called HiTo has been developing • In 2001 an agreement of “Partnership for prosperity” was singed between the Governments of Mexico and The United States. • The United States Department of the Treasury requested Soros to look for the best solution to finance the great housing need of Mexico. • SOROS & VP agreed in June 2003 to establish an Institution focused in the aim to offer to Mexico the Danish Model of Mortgages. With that purpose, SHF has kept a close relationship with Danish mortgage banks, the Danish Central Depository Institution (VP), and Soros Equity Fund. After a continuous interaction of the Danish institutions with their Mexican counterparts (INDEVAL, SHF and some Sofols), an adaptation of their business model has been defined for Mexico by creating a company called Hipotecaria Total (HiTo)
The Sofols participation in HiTo, will be very simple Hito will adapt to Mexico the systems that support the operation in Denmark, which is well known for the foreign investors and the rating agencies. Hito Mexico Reduce the funding rate and optimize credit enhancers. The idea is that with simple interfaces and sending similar lay-outs to those sent currently to SHF, Sofols could access the Capital Markets continuously to fund their mortgages at a low cost and anytime they need it. SHF with SOROS and VPX, are working in the implementation of the infrastructure that supports the securitization systems of HiTo. From November 2006, HiTo is a company focused in the Securitization services, with systems connected with INDEVAL and the banking systems that Sofols currently uses, in a very automated way (Straight Through Process, STP).
Conceptually the technological solution is simple Banking System Indeval • Payment administration • Building appraisal • Prices and charges of commissions and services • Account management • Client assistance • Credit score • Client management • Administration of credits • Clearing • Operations capture • Market information • Investors and issuers account administration FundingXpert VPX Bond Management System “VPX Bond Management Interface” FundingXpert interface Funcionality VPX Funcionality FundingXpert • Investors • Payments • Administration • Investors • Payments • Administration
Operation of HiTo in Mexico Small Sofole Small Sofol Medium Sofol Small Bank Large Bank or Sofol • HiTo will be an open system to any interested participant in securitizing their mortgage portfolio. • The participants in the Market could issue securities with their own brand (eg: Su Casita, Metrofinanciera, GMAC, etc.) or using a Multisofol brand (multisofol issuance). • In both cases, the subordinated piece will be kept by the originating Sofol HiTo (VP Mexico) Abanks + FundingXpert VPX Own Brand Trust Multisofol Trust HiTo Trust Trust for independent Bank Brand Securities HiTo Securities Sofol X Securities Sofol Y Securities Sofol Z Indeval
Conclusion • By securitizing through a vehicule like HiTo, the originators/administrators will obtain very important benefits: • The existence of a liquidity source and continuous and safe anchorage through capital markets. • A known interest rate to unload its credits off the balance, and that allows to eliminate the risk market that at the moment occurs between the origination of the mortgage and their securitization (it takes approximately 28 months in average between these two events). • The standardization does not imply rigidity in the type of mortgage since today the danish model supports several types: fixed rate, variable rate, with caps, etc. These benefits allow the Sofol to be in conditions to offer a highly competitive mortgage product and increase their volume of mortgage originations

Challenges for the Borhis market development: • To build a market where investors, mainly local and foreign institutional investors, could feel comfortable regarding transparency and liquidity of the securities. • To develop entities or vehicles specialized in the purchase of mortgage loans, Borhis issuance and investment on tranches of the structures. • To assure the continuity of the business model, supporting liquidity during all the loan origination process. • To maintain the loan portfolio growth, while keeping the same credit quality. • To develop a more efficient and deeper secondary market in order to satisfy the potential credit demand during the next years, and to maintain the Sofols’ competitiveness against Banks. • To transfer all benefits achieved in housing finance in more benefits to the borrowers, in terms of lower rates, down payments and monthly payments.
