The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited

Funding Introduction

The HKMC’s funding requirement mainly comes from asset purchase and refinancing. The HKMC raises funds via bond issuance in institutional and retail markets.

 

The HKMC is committed to developing the local debt market through regular debt issuances and the introduction of new debt products.  As one of the most active bond issuers in Hong Kong, the HKMC will continue to issue debt in both local institutional and retail markets, and diversify its funding sources and investor base to overseas institutional markets. This will not only help broaden the HKMC’s funding base, but also provide investors with high quality debt instruments to satisfy their need for portfolio diversification and yield enhancement.

 

With its strong credit rating, the HKMC’s debt issues are well received by the investment community, such as pension funds, insurance companies, investment funds, charities, government-related funds and retail investors.

The HKMC has three debt issuance programmes,

which allow the issuance of debt securities in an efficient and effective manner:

 

US$30 Billion Medium Term Note Programme (MTN)


HK$40 Billion Debt Issuance Programme (DIP)


HK$20 Billion Retail Bond Issuance Programme (RBIP)
