Join Bloomberg Government senior finance policy analyst and Dodd-Frank expert, Cady North, and Thomas Vartanian, Partner at Dechert LLP for an informative webinar to understand the process for selecting systemically important financial institutions, or SIFIs under the Dodd-Frank law. Find out which U.S. companies might qualify as SIFIs, and what it means to be designated. The Dodd-Frank law calls for extra oversight of large financial companies whose failure could threaten the U.S. economy. Financial regulators are currently working on a package of rules that not only designate companies as SIFIs, but also outline the more stringent regulations these companies will face. Some rules will create new costs for the federal government as well as for the companies being regulated. Bank holding companies automatically become SIFIs when they reach $50 billion in assets. Non-bank financial companies, such as insurers, hedge funds, clearinghouses and payment processors, can become SIFIs if they meet the $50 billion asset threshold, exceed other risk tests, and the Financial Stability Oversight Council votes in favor of designation. Find out how SIFIs must comply with about 16 new Dodd-Frank regulatory requirements that include capital and liquidity standards, reports, exams, and business operation changes, such as potential limits on mergers. Topics include: *Understanding the selection process for designating SIFIs. *Bloomberg Government's exclusive analysis of which 25 U.S. non-bank companies, including 15 that already exceed the thresholds, might qualify as SIFIs. They would join the 34 bank holding companies that already qualify for enhanced oversight. *Understanding how Bloomberg Government can provide information on this issue and others important to legal professionals.
