Basel III American style: US regulatory capital framework changes

Morrison & Foerster, StormHarbour Securities, IFLR
On June 12 2012 the US Federal banking agencies proposed for comment, in three separate but related proposals, significant changes to the US regulatory capital framework. One proposal applies the Basel III capital framework to almost all US banking organisations.

• The new capital requirements

• Components of common equity, additional Tier 1

• Types of financial products that will no longer receive beneficial regulatory treatment

• Regulatory deductions

• Statutory bail-in

• Differences between the proposed rules and Basel III and CRD IV

• Risk weights

  • The Volcker Rule Recorded: Feb 28 2014 90 mins
    On December 10 2013, the five US bank regulators issued the long-awaited final rule construing the Volcker Rule. This rule generally prohibits banking entities – a broad term that includes banks, bank holding companies, foreign banks treated as bank holding companies, and their respective affiliates – from (i) engaging in proprietary trading, and (ii) acquiring or retaining ownership interests in, or acting as sponsors to, certain hedge funds and private equity funds.

    The final rule incorporates significant changes to the proposed rule, published on November 7 2011, which were made in response to the large number of comments received on the original proposal.

    This webcast is will summarise certain impacts of the final rule on banking institutions, including foreign banking organisations. We shall address aspects of the final rule, including:
    • the exemption for proprietary trading
    • limitations on permitted trading and fund activities
    • fund investment and sponsorship
    • impact on foreign banking organisations
    • definition of a covered fund
    • impact on securitisations

  • New bank capital rules: are CoCos the answer? Recorded: Apr 17 2013 90 mins
    Financial institutions in Europe and the US are considering a range of products to address their funding needs. It’s a difficult task, as it’s still not known which products will receive beneficial regulatory capital treatment. National regulators also have provided guidance on additional or so-called buffer capital, as well as contingent capital products.

    European banks have recently issued contingent capital products – or CoCos – and we expect additional offerings to be forthcoming. These issuances face an uncertain regulatory framework, and evolving market practice. This webinar will discuss these considerations, focusing on:

    · Basel III guidance and status of implementation;
    · Bail-in capital, including national guidance;
    · Contingent capital products and structures;
    · Market experience;
    · Tax, ratings, corporate governance and other considerations relating to contingent capital; and
    · Investor perspective.

    Speakers:
    · Anna Pinedo, Morrison & Foerster
    · Tom Humphreys, Morrison & Foerster
    · Anthony Ragozino, UBS
