Susan F. Axelrod, Executive Vice President, Regulatory Operations, SIFMA Complex Products Forum, New York, NY, October 29, 2014
Date 30/10/2014
Good afternoon and thank you for the invitation to join you this afternoon.
Two years ago, when I spoke at this conference, we were emerging from the Great Recession. Yields on money market funds were near zero, and mid-duration fixed income investments were not offering sufficient yield to satisfy customer income needs. As for lowest-risk bank deposits and CDs, the yields were even more paltry. So the chase for yield was on, with an influx of money into riskier products as customers searched for income on their assets, assets that were becoming more complex and moving further out on the risk curve in the quest for yield.

US Federal Reserve Issues FOMC Statement
Date 29/10/2014
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in September suggests that economic activity is expanding at a moderate pace. Labor market conditions improved somewhat further, with solid job gains and a lower unemployment rate. On balance, a range of labor market indicators suggests that underutilization of labor resources is gradually diminishing. Household spending is rising moderately and business fixed investment is advancing, while the recovery in the housing sector remains slow. Inflation has continued to run below the Committee's longer-run objective. Market-based measures of inflation compensation have declined somewhat; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.
