The AFM has approved the prospectus for the Mortgage Bond. Through this, a new way of funding Dutch mortgage loans is officially ready for use. It is now possible for institutional investors to invest in a portfolio of Dutch mortgage loans in a simple, transparent and low cost way. The Mortgage Bond will appear as one line in the administration of an investor and can easily be settled. Listing on a stock exchange is optional and can be achieved in a straightforward way. Because of these attributes, the Mortgage Bond will radically change the way Dutch mortgage loans are funded.
