Steven Starr shared updates about the Federal Reserve Board’s changes to the 'Basel III Endgame,' announced by Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr. The new rules, particularly around easing capital requirements for midsized banks, could have a direct effect on the fund finance market. https://lnkd.in/eQJiwdKJ #FundFinance #FundFinancing #FundFinancer
Big news re: bank regulatory capital! On Tuesday the Federal Reserve Bank's Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr (pictured) unveiled changes to the "Basel III Endgame" regulatory capital requirements introduced in July 2023. What is regulatory capital? In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, governments agreed to increase the amount of capital that banks needed to hold against potential loan losses and make the standards for measuring this capital more uniform. This "regulatory capital" – in the form of stock, cash, retained earnings, etc. – is able to absorb losses from bad loans made by a bank so that the deposits held by the bank are safe. Why does it matter? Every dollar that a bank holds in for regulatory capital is a dollar that cannot be loaned out by the bank. Practically, increasing regulatory capital will result in a bank making fewer loans. Who cares? On one side are pro-regulation anti-big bank advocates like Senator Elizabeth Warren, who argue that increased regulatory capital requirements are necessary to avoid putting the American people on the hook to bail out failed banks. On the other side are the banks, who argue that tightening regulatory capital requirements will hurt the economy by decreasing the amount of cash available for loans and will especially harm people with shakier credit who are more likely to have trouble getting a loan. What were the changes? While Barr's speech was just a preview of detailed changes to come, the big news is that, for the biggest banks (i.e., global systematically important banks), their capital requirements will increase by only 9% as opposed to 19% under the original proposal. The increase in regulatory capital will no longer apply to midsized banks with $100 billion to $250 billion in assets. What implication does this have for #FundFinance? When the initial regulatory capital proposal was circulated, I saw many banks pull back on their fund finance lending. They reasoned that, if there was less money available to lend, they would be more selective in the opportunities that they pursued, and the risk/return profile of certain fund finance products did not justify the regulatory capital cost. This accelerated the movement of #PrivateCredit lenders into the fund finance space, particularly into NAV lending. The revised proposals may increase participation and competition in the fund finance market, particularly since regional banks have often been leaders in this industry. What do I think? Despite the posturing by both sides, the best approach is a balance between the two competing concerns. It is worthwhile to increase the required capital cushion of banks to lower the likelihood of bank failures. On the other hand, increasing the capital cushion does come at a cost to the economy and consumers, and that needs to be seriously weighed against any benefit. Practically, I suspect there will not be much movement here until after the US presidential election in November.
