CCH Issues White Paper on Fed’s Role, SEC Disclosure, in Financial Rescue Effort
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., November 14, 2008) – CCH, part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, has published a white paper: The Other Bailout: How the Fed is Financing the Financiers, and Related SEC Disclosure by CCH Securities Law Analyst Mark S. Nelson, JD. Wolters Kluwer Law & Business is a leading provider of research information and software solutions in key specialty areas for legal and business professionals (business.cch.com).
Noting that the emergency bailout legislation recently passed by Congress is one element of the federal government’s response to the current economic crisis, Nelson provides an examination of the Fed’s powers and response to the financial crisis, beginning over one year ago, to provide a more complete picture.
Much of the white paper is devoted to a detailed examination of the Fed’s emergency lending facilities: the Term Auction Facility; Primary Dealer Credit Facility; Term Securities Lending Facility; Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility; Commercial Paper Funding Facility; and the Money Market Investor Funding Facility.
Nelson also examines a number of financial disclosures under the securities laws that impact financial institutions using the Fed’s lending facilities: periodic reports; management discussion and analysis (MD&A); risk factors; accounting rules; asset-backed securities; and Investment Company Act rules regarding money market funds.
