RELATIONSHIP RIFT: LENDERS CUT BROKERS ADRIFT

As the global credit crisis deepens, lenders have seen their profit margins squeezed to such an extent they have been forced to take drastic action. Lending practices have been thoroughly scrutinised which has resulted in many cases of broker relationships being reviewed or overhauled. Earlier in the year a number of Credit Unions, such as CU Australia, Savings & Loans, and Police & Nurses CU, stopped or reduced their broker-sourced home loan offerings. Although the credit union market is small, these three lenders account for around 40% of the $25 billion credit union mortgage market. Savings & Loans had previously sourced around 20% of its mortgage sales through brokers. Meanwhile, in a separate move which has created waves among mortgage brokers, several major banks cut their upfront broker commissions. Commonwealth Bank introduced a tiered commission structure, encouraging brokers to lodge applications online and with as little follow-up information required as possible. This followed comments by a senior bank representative that the Australian mortgage industry’s efficiency levels are ripe for improvement in regards to transfer of information between lenders and brokers. Westpac and St George also enforced significant broker commission cuts, which predictably reduced their home loan inflows via those external channels. BankWest took a slightly different approach, removing a large number of brokers from its approved list, culling those whose submissions had required greater follow-up work by the bank. In addition, the bank’s flagship Rate Tracker mortgage was pulled out of the broker channel entirely. MONEY MARKET HEADACHES: WE ALL SUFFER

Despite increasing their margins relative to the Reserve Bank (RBA) cash rates since the turn of the year, lenders are again feeling the squeeze as wholesale borrowing costs rise at an even faster pace. In July 2007, just prior to the onset of the credit crunch, the major banks’ average standard variable rates were 1.68% above the RBA cash rate. This had increased to 1.82% by the start of 2008, and has recently widened further to a 2.36% margin.

balance sheets. Many lenders claim to have absorbed some of the increased funding costs, presumably trying to ride the storm by not losing potential new customers in the short-term, in the hope that they will be able to retain existing customers longer-term once the credit crunch is over.

Official Cash Rate90-day bank billAverage Home Loan Rate - 4 Major Banks

The above chart illustrates how volatile the relationship between the RBA cash rate, 90-day swap rates, and variable mortgage rates has become during recent months as the credit crunch has tightened its grip on the economy. Lenders tend to use the 90-day swap rates as a guideline on mortgage pricing, as this measure reflects the cost of funding for them. Around February / March, the 90-day rate indicated that market expectations were for the RBA cash rate to continue increasing. These expectations reversed sharply around July-August, with 90-day rates showing expected decreases in the cash rate. We can also see from this chart that earlier on in the year, the margin between mortgage rates and the 90-day swap rate was much smaller than during previous recent history, suggesting that lenders were having to absorb some of this increased funding cost themselves – subsequent months saw lenders increase their rates in order to restore their long-term margins. While mortgage rates may have been somewhat reined in compared with the rate rises chargeable to the lenders themselves, these higher funding costs have, in many cases, been passed on to borrowers in the form of higher monthly service fees, and the introduction of new fees, such as in some cases new legal, administrative, or loan servicing fees. Lenders are now seeking to focus on profit margins in order to maintain the viability of their lending operations, whereas as recently as this time last year the focus tended to be far more on

increasing market share. Back in April, Australian Central CU’s managing director Peter Evers summed the situation up when he said that his credit union would from that point be looking to manage profitability rather than growth: “We made a decision in Sept 2007 to reduce volumes of home loans based on the pricing mismatch, because the cost of money was going through the roof.” Further highlighting the issue, ANZ’s Personal division recorded a profit decline in mortgages despite increasing its book by 13% in the 12 months to the end of the first quarter of this year, due to tighter margins caused by the credit crunch. Virgin Money stopped marketing mortgages to new customers in May, again citing high funding costs as the reason. A further rate cut or two by the RBA is widely predicted to happen before the year is out but at this stage, banks are reluctant to commit to passing the rate cuts on to customers. For them, it is a constant juggling act between dwindling money supplies, higher costs and competition for that money between internal lending divisions. It is tempting to criticise the big financial institutions for maximising their profit margins at the customer’s expense but the alternative is less palatable – withdrawing from lending altogether. TOP OF THE LADDER

According to APRA July data, a merged Westpac / St George would have Australia’s largest residential owner-occupied mortgage book at $118bn (24.3% of the $486bn market). Including residential investment properties, however, Commonwealth Bank would remain the leader in terms of market share, with 24.5% of the $722 billion market, aggregating both owner-occupied and investment residential property mortgages. RATES IN REVERSE – TIME TO FIX? On September 2nd, the RBA cut its cash rate for the first time in seven years. After a long period of money tightening to rein in excessive growth caused by the commodities boom, signs were that borrowing and spending had peaked, meaning that the numerous recent rate rises had taken the effect desired by the RBA. Many financial analysts believe that interest rates have peaked for the foreseeable future, and that they are likely to be cut further over the coming months, although the extent to which this may happen is anybody’s guess. The cost of fixed rate mortgages has been on the slide since August in anticipation of RBA rate cuts. These more attractive fixed interest rate loans are also a marketing plan to attract more customers, as recent fixed sales have been outstripped by variable home loans with consumers expecting – correctly, as it turned out from the September RBA meeting – rate cuts sooner rather than later. As at all stages of any economic cycle, a huge decision for any home loan borrower rests in deciding whether to fix your mortgage or take your chances with a variable interest rate. The answer depends solely on your individual circumstances and what you feel comfortable with. Are you comfortable taking the gamble of seeing your repayments rise and fall in line with interest rates? If you strongly believe that rates won’t go up in the near future, then you may consider a variable loan – as long as your finances allow you to make higher repayments should interest rates trend upwards again. If, instead, you are not inclined to take the gamble, or – just as importantly – your finances dictate that you must be certain what you will be paying every month, then fixing remains your best option. There is a third way of course, which is to take a split product, which allows you to fix part of the loan and keep the rest on a variable rate.

HOW SECURE IS MY LENDER? In this increasingly jittery financial environment, it’s more important than ever to check your lender’s credentials. Ratings agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s all offer guidelines as to the security of a bank’s credit rating – or ability to honour its financial commitments. However, the credit crunch has shown that even these established credit ratings agencies are not perfect, with numerous ratings having been downgraded after the horse had bolted. The fact that even credit ratings agencies have been caught out by the crunch tells us that we need some form of assurance that your mortgage is secure no matter what happens to your lender. Recent developments in the US and the UK have shown us how quickly an apparently strong bank can go to the wall. In the space of a week in mid-September, American investment banking giants Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch effectively disappeared from the market, while Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs changed their banking status in order to call on emergency government funding, should the need arise. Meanwhile in the UK, mortgage lending giant HBOS – which also owns BankWest – was taken over by LloydsTSB bank in a move designed to address its stressened state. LloydsTSB’s plans for BankWest will become clearer in due course. What these developments serve to illustrate is that the credit crunch’s grip on the economy causes knock-on effects globally, making it more important than ever that you check your options in case your own lender should hit any difficulties. Lenders’ circumstances can change to the point where they need to reduce their loan book, and one tactic used in these instances is to raise interest rates with the intention of losing a portion of their mortgage customers, with borrowers looking to transfer their mortgage to another, cheaper lender. The problem with this, however, is that exit fees and other associated break costs still apply, as terms & conditions of your mortgage remain unaffected. Be aware of the possibility that you may need to move your mortgage elsewhere, and prepare yourself for any likely costs that this might incur.

Even worse, if your equity is falling, you may have trouble refinancing and find yourself locked into a high-cost mortgage. TOUGH TIME FOR HOUSING FINANCE With high interest rates and property prices added to increasing difficulties in obtaining finance since the onset of the credit crunch, mortgage arrears continue to rise. Recent data issued by Standard & Poor’s showed that monthly mortgage arrears (defined as mortgage payments being more than 30 days late) increased for the sixth successive month in May, the longest such run since this data series was commenced in the 1990s. This figure is almost 50% up on the second quarter of 2007 arrears figure of 1.02%, covering the three months immediately prior to the credit crunch outbreak in July 2007. Further data showed that in April low-doc loan arrears stood at around 2.59% compared with 1.3% for full doc, highlighting the larger risk to those lenders offering low-doc mortgages. According to data supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, housing finance fell by 6.1% from April to May, seasonally adjusted. The fall was most pronounced in new-build finance, which will worry many builders, traders and suppliers. Such data suggests that potential home-buyers are holding off climbing onto the property ladder. Reasons for this are likely to include high repayment costs caused by current interest rate levels, and high property prices, currently at a multiple of around seven times the average wage* – higher than almost any other developed country in the world. FLEXIBLE FRIEND? NAB launched the Clear Banking Home Loan in July, responding to the government’s recent calls to allow borrowers to move more easily between mortgages without incurring penalty fees. Once the $600 application fee has been paid, the rest of it is plain sailing, with no early exit, discharge, settlement, or ongoing fees applicable. The interest rate is set to match the standard variable rate, which sits at 9.36% at the time of writing. * Based on income data from Australian Bureau of Statistics, February 2008 – national average gross income ~$57,000 per annum; assuming national average residential property price of approximately $400,000.

CANNEX mortgage star ratings - methodology

What is the CANNEX mortgage star ratings? CANNEX mortgage star ratings is a sophisticated rating methodology, unique to CANNEX, that compares both the Cost and Features across mortgage products. CANNEX star rated products represent a short list of financial products. This short list narrows the search for consumers to products that have been independently assessed and ranked. All star rated mortgages rated from one to five achieved a grade suitable for consumers to consider with qualities ranging from “Superior” to “Satisfactory”. The CANNEX mortgage star ratings is a transparent analysis comparing all types of mortgage products. The results are reflected in a consumer-friendly 5-star concept. The star ratings from the CANNEX mortgage star ratings are described as follows: Superior Product Average Product Excellent Product Satisfactory Product Strong Product Rising Star Only the top 75% of the mortgage products examined actually receive a star rating between 1 and 5. Rising Stars are those products that would be rated 3-star or higher but have not been in the market for over six months. Rising Star products will be formally rated in the next rating period once more historical data is available.

What types of products are evaluated by CANNEX mortgage star ratings? The following are assessed in the ratings:

• Standard Home Loans • Investment Home Loans • 1, 2, 3 and 5 year Fixed Home Loans • 1, 2, 3 and 5 year Investment Fixed Home Loans • Line of Credit

How does it work?

How are the ‘stars’ calculated? Each home loan reviewed for the CANNEX mortgage star ratings is awarded points for its comparative Pricing and for the array of positive Features attached to the product. Points are aggregated to achieve a Pricing score (P) and a Features score (F). In addition to these two categories, we also score products according to their Early Termination Fees (E) and reward those products charging no, or low early termination fees. To arrive at the total score CANNEX applies a weight (w) against the P, F and E. This weight will vary for product type and will reflect the relative importance of either costs or features in determining the best mortgage product. This method can be summarised as:

TOTAL SCORE ( T ) = W1PRICING ( P ) + W2FEATURES SCORE ( F + W3EARLY TERMINATION FEE SCORE (E))

Pricing (P) CANNEX accounts for both current and historical AAPR in the calculation of the PRICING (P) component of each product’s overall score. Each of the 6 months is weighted equally to arrive at the average AAPR over the last 6 months. Pricing Scores for Variable and Revolving Line of Credit Loans are based on the total cost for a scenario of a $250,000 loan repaid over 25 years. Cost includes interest cost, upfront, ongoing and discharge fees. Pricing Scores for the Fixed Rate Loans are also based on the total cost for a scenario of a $250,000 loan repaid over 25 years. At the end of each fixed interest period, it is assumed that the borrower will re-fix their loan for the life of the loan. Cost includes interest cost, upfront, ongoing and discharge fees.
