ROPOSED FDIC regulations
I which would require bank real
estate investm ent and insurance
underwriting activities to be put in a
separate subsidiary are unnecessary
and counterproductive, the American Bankers Association said in a re­
cent public hearing held by FDIC.
These activities are no riskier
than traditional banking, and potentially can increase the safety and
soundness o f banking, according to
James L. Ryan, president and CEO
o f Bank o f W alnut Creek, Cal., testi­
fying for A B A .
But their potential for increasing
banks’ strength and diversity could
be diminished by the FD IC ’s propo­
sal, he said. Mr. Ryan represented
the A B A as a member o f the Administrative Committee o f its Govern­
ment Relations Council.
“ For many banks, both large and
small, real estate equity invest­
ments would represent a way to capitalize on existing experience and in­
crease bank profitability through ac­
tivities that are closely related to
current bank activities,” Mr. Ryan
said.
“ Through equity investm ents,
commercial banks and developers
would have greater financial stabili­
ty in development projects,” he
said. Equity investm ents are no
risker than direct loans for real
estate development, he stated.
“ Further, bank investment in real

estate will provide a benefit to the
com m unity as it will develop greater
growth in real estate than would
otherwise be available,” Mr. Ryan
said.
“ Similarly, insurance activities
present little increased risk to banks
and are risks that are com patible
with banking. Both businesses in­
volved the solicitation o f deposits
(premiums) from custom ers and the
investm ent o f those deposits in
loans or securities until the need
arises to return them to the custo­
m er,” he said.
However, Mr. Ryan warned that
if insurance underwriting and real
estate investm ent must be carried
out through sudsidiaries, with sepa­
rate employees, officers and direc­
tors, safety and soundness may be
impeded.
“ The persons with the m ost
knowledge about real estate invest­
ment will be found in the real estate
lending department o f the bank,”
Mr. Ryan asserted.
“ The collective experience o f bank
employees, officers and directors is
the by-product o f many years o f an­
alysis and decision making. This ex­
perience has been sharpened by the
success and failures in the bank’s
portfolio,” he said.
Mr. Ryan also said that the sepa­
rate subsidiary proposal would deny
to the subsidiary the benefit o f the
bank’s reputation, which would cur­

tail much o f the start-up business
vital to new ventures.
An additional strike against the
subsidiary is its separate capitaliza­
tion requirement, which com es at a
time o f increased industry and regu­
latory concern regarding bank capi­
tal, Mr. Ryan said.
A lso, lim its im posed on invest­
ments in any one real estate develop­
ment would im pose barriers to the
entry o f smaller banks into real es­
tate developm ent, causing them to
turn away good opportunities for
real estate investm ent, he added.
The FD IC ’s proposed regulations
would prohibit any insured bank
from directly engaging in underwrit­
ing insurance, developing real es­
tate, reinsurance, guaranteeing or
becom ing surety upon the obliga­
tions o f others, or engaging in a
surety business, subject to certain
exceptions.
If any o f these activities are au­
thorized by state or federal law, they
would have to be conducted in a
separate subsidiary o f the bank.
Currently, states authorizing state
chartered banks to engage in direct
real estate developm ent include:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Cali­
fornia, Connecticut, Florida, Maine,
M a ssa ch u se tts, N eva d a, N ew
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
N orth Carolina, O hio, O regon,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and W ash­
ington.
