Company Profile

Local mortgage loan securitization activities

La Hipotecaria has been pioneer in the creation of investment-grade mortgage-backed securities which it offers to local and international institutional investors, while retaining servicing rights on all originated mortgage loans.

In May of 1999, La Hipotecaria issued the first structured mortgage securitization ever completed in the Central American Region. Since that date and with the experience gained each year, La Hipotecaria has continued to issue mortgage-backed securities at the rate of approximately one issue per year and as of today has successfully completed sixteen MBS transactions. All issuances have been approved by the Panamanian Securities and Exchange Commission (La Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores), and are sold through the Panamanian Stock Exchange (La Bolsa de Valores de Panamá).
