HLI

Company Profile

  • Business description

    Helia listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2014 after its US-based parent, Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW), sold down its stake. It has since exited. With a history spanning over 50 years, Helia is the largest provider of lenders' mortgage insurance, or LMI, in Australia. In Australia, LMI is predominantly purchased on loans with a loan/value ratio, or LVR, above 80%. LMI protects a lender against a potential loss (gap) between the outstanding loan amount and sale proceeds on a delinquent loan property. LMI does not protect the borrower; however, the premium is paid by the borrower. It’s regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, which requires it to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements.
