SEC genehmigt Neuregelung zu Asset Backed Securities


Default: Change to:


The Securities and Exchange Commission voted to adopt two sets of new rules designed to help revitalise the important asset-backed securities (ABS) market by encouraging better disclosure for investors.


 The SEC approved one set of rules that requires issuers of asset-backed securities to disclose the history of the requests they received and repurchases they made related to their outstanding asset-backed securities.

The Commission also approved a second set of rules that would require issuers of asset-backed securities to conduct a review of the assets underlying those securities.

"At one time, the securitization market provided trillions of dollars of liquidity to virtually every sector of the economy. However, during the financial crisis, ABS investors suffered significant losses, causing the market for securitization to rapidly decline," said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. "These rational measures are designed to help revitalize the important asset-backed securities market by encouraging better disclosure for investors."
