Brookfield-owned Sagen picks up 31% stake in IMGC

Mumbai: Global asset manager Brookfield-owned Sagen has picked up a 31% stake in India Mortgage Guarantee Company (IMGC) in primary funding round, its first strategic investment in India.

The proceeds will provide growth capital to the business and the proposed transaction will close after regulatory approvals.

“This investment is a strong endorsement of the quality of businesses we have built to scale over the years,” said Mahesh Misra, chhief executive officer at IMGC. “We look forward to leverage Sagen’s global experience to drive innovation and transformation to further deepen the mortgage guarantee market in India,” he added.

Currently, IMGC has investors which include the National Housing Bank, International Finance Corporation, Asian Development Bank, and Enact Holdings.

Sagen is the largest private-sector residential mortgage insurer in Canada and is owned by Brookfield Business Partners L.P, which is a group entity of Brookfield Asset Management. This will be Sagen’s first investment in India, though it has been operating in Canada for more than 27 years.

IMGC presently guarantees over 70,000 home loans amounting to more than Rs 15,000 crore through its partnership with 19 lenders. Its new business volume grew by more than 50% in FY22.
