Hence, banking regulators across the globe saw a need to change their approach to regulating the liquidity risk of banks. They explain how the final liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirement will increase the costs incurred by U.S. banks that participate in the securitization market through extending commitments in securitization credit facility transactions, sponsoring securitization of their own assets, or investing in structured finance securities. In concluding their article, they question whether the new regulation designed to improve the liquidity risk profile of banks will reduce overall market liquidity by steering banks away from the securitization market. Charles Sweet explains the U.S. SEC s observation that the financial crisis highlighted that investors and

2 participants in the securitization market did not have the necessary information and time to be able to fully assess the risks underlying asset-backed securities and did not value asset-backed securities properly or accurately and how Regulation AB II is intended to address those shortcomings. He notes that while the SEC did not adopt the most game-changing aspect of its proposals which would have required issuers to provide investors in Rule 144A offerings the same information as in a public offering many of the requirements that it did adopt will still change the offering process significantly, including the requirement to prepare and file a preliminary prospectus three days before pricing an issue, the need to provide new asset-level data, and the requirement for CEOs to sign certifications for each offering. Meredith Coffey explains how the final U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rule for Securitizations offers very little relief for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and therefore will result in a continuing, although smaller, CLO market. Prior to the new rules taking effect in two-plus years, managers will be incented to do as many CLOs as possible. After the rules go into effect, investors are expected to migrate toward risk retention survivors who have or can find the capital to retain the risk, whether through existing resources, borrowing, parent companies with substantial capital, or working with their parents or investors to develop majorityowned affiliates that can purchase and retain risk. Ms. Coffey points to the role of CLOs in stabilizing the U.S. loan market and maintaining price stability by purchasing from other investors, such as hedge funds or mutual funds, who have to meet redemptions. To the extent CLOs are reduced, their place may be taken by less stable investors, leading to a more volatile, expensive loan market.
