Asset-Level Disclosure Requirements For Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, Public Input From Investors And Other Market Participants Welcomed, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Oct. 30, 2019

Date 30/10/2019

Securitization plays a critical role in the U.S. capital markets and can enhance liquidity in important sectors of the economy. In particular, residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) play a significant role in enhancing liquidity in the residential mortgage market and thereby facilitating capital formation in the U.S. housing sector. The Commission originally addressed the registration, disclosure and reporting requirements for asset-backed securities (“ABS”), including RMBS, in 2004 when it adopted new rules and amendments under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.[1] In 2014, following the financial crisis, the Commission adopted significant revisions to its ABS regulations.[2] The 2014 revisions included new rules for registered ABS offerings of certain asset classes, including RMBS. These new RMBS rules require issuers to disclose a wide array of data on each asset (i.e., each mortgage) in the underlying pool at the time of an offering and on an ongoing basis.

Date 30/10/2019

In response to today’s unanimous bipartisan approval of legislation in the House Agriculture Committee to reauthorize the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Chairman Heath P. Tarbert issued the following statement:

“I commend Chairman Peterson, Ranking Member Conaway, and the House Agriculture Committee for unanimously passing bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the CFTC. The sound regulation of our derivatives markets, which see more than $4 trillion in notional activity each day, is critical to the health of the U.S. economy and the pocketbook of every American. These markets help inform the price of everything from food and gasoline to home mortgage interest. Today’s bipartisan action highlights the importance of the work done at the CFTC and represents a significant first step in the legislative process. I look forward to working with members of both parties in both chambers to see a bill through to completion.”
