In June, one month before the Comptroller published his proposals, the ABA commissioned a study of this matter by one of the “Big Eight” accounting firms. This study, due in February of 1981, will consider all facets of the capital adequacy question. The ABA has asked the Comptroller to delay further action on his proposal until the ABA’s study is complete. The comments that accompany the proposed regulation suggest th a t the Com ptroller is less interested in changing the definition of capital as a matter of regulatory fiat than in stimulating a dialog with the banking community. The amendments are described by the Comptroller as “part of a larger project to develop an improved regulatory and supervisory policy for this office... enabling national banks to improve their capital evaluation techniques and main taining the pivotal role of the banking system in meeting the credit demands of a diversified economy. Another element in this comprehensive policy study is an evaluation of the appropriateness of the present 10% lending limitation and the possible need for legislative ecent th e C u rren cy have raised new questions about tw o u n re la te d areas of bank operations. The two proposals de_ ....... serve the axtenComptroller tion of the entire of the Currency banking community. Although the Comptroller’s regulations apply only to national banks, they are still relevant to state-chartered banks. “Wild Card” statutes in many states give state-chartered banks the authority to engage in all activities th a t national banks engage in, and regulations in many states are therefore directly affected by regulations issued by the Comptroller. One proposal is intended to open discussion of how bank capital should be defined and what its role in banking regulation should be. The other proposal raises the subject of Adjustable Rate Mort gages (ARMs) and could lead to a much wider use of this instrument in the future. Definitions The first proposal is to change the definition of “surplus unimpaired funds” that a bank may count as its capital. The definition would be changed to exclude subordinated notes and debentures and 50% of the loan loss reserve funds that are now included in capital. Obviously, the effect of such a change would be to reduce the capital of most national banks. (The Comptroller estimates that for the average bank, capital would be reduced 12.8% by the deletion of subordinated notes and debentures, and 4.5% by the deletion of the loan loss reserve.) A reduction in the amount of capital would be a serious change, for that figure is used to determine the bank’s legal lending limits and other matters, such as whether a bank may establish a branch. This proposal comes at a difficult time for banks. The only sources of capital that would be permitted to a bank if the proposed definitions were to become final would be equity and retained earnings. Bank stocks are and have long been generally undervalued and inflation has lowered earnings. At the same time, inflation has also caused that stated value of assets to rise dramatically. Banks are therefore faced w ith the possibility of having artificially high asset levels and a reduced capital base against which those ASK DALE FROEHLICH to make MNB work for you.

The questions of capital adequacy is very complex, involving a careful balance of the desire to protect the depositors from loss and the need to provide enough leverage to the banks to allow them to operate profitably. The questions that the Comptroller has implicitly raised are good ones: What is bank capital in the first place, and what is the proper level of adequate capital? Solution At present, there is no unanimity among regulators, economists, or even among bankers about the proper definition of bank capital or the proper ratio of capital (however defined) to a bank’s assets. The Comptroller’s latest proposal sug gests that he is interested in a permanent solution to the question of capital and its proper role in banking regulation. The ABA believes that its study will provide valuable help to the regulators in this matter. Mortgages On another front, the Comptroller is suggesting that the use of alternative m ortgage in s tru ments—in particular of the adjust able rate mortgage (ARM) —should Bank on a BANKERS’ BANKER C a ll 1-800-362-1688, toll-free in Io w a Don Carmody Correspondent Banking Department Des Moines, Iowa 50304 Member FDIC, Federal Reserve System We’re people who can help with ag lending.

The proposed guidelines would provide that interest rates could be increased at stated intervals during the term of the mortgage. The increase could not exceed one half of 1% for every six months between adjustments and in no event could it exceed 5% for any one adjustment period. They would also provide for a federal override of state laws where an ARM would be in conflict with a state statute. The purpose of the guidelines is not to prescribe minimum increases but rather to provide some standard for banks to use in setting up a program of innovative mortgage lending. At the same time, the Comptroller is providing a reasonable measure of protection for the consumer. □ Iowa News CLINTON: James L.

Beh Co. H * Investment Bankers/Financial Consultants Des Moines i AN INTRODUCTION TO IOWA STUDENT LOAN REVENUE BONDS V\ r-r y 4 ~ ¥ y The Iowa Student Loan Liquidity Corporation has selected the Carleton D. Beh Co. to be a senior manager of the group w hich w ill underwrite and market the proposed student loan revenue bond issue. The Issuer. The Iowa Student Loan Liquidity Corporation, an Iowa nonprofit corporation, was incorporated in July 1979, at the request of G ov ernor Robert Ray to finance the purchase, sale and general marketing of guaranteed student loans. As provided in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the Governor designated the Iowa Stu dent Loan Liquidity Corporation as the sole agency for the purpose of providing funds and acquiring from lenders, student loan notes representing (a) loans to Iowa students attending schools anywhere, or (b) loans to students from other states attending Iowa schools. The Corporation has an eleven member Board of Directors appointed by the Governor. The Board consists of the Iowa Superintendent of Banking, tw o members each representing Iowa banking institu tions and the general public; one each representing Iowa savings and loan institutions, Iowa credit unions, the Iowa Board of Regents, Iowa private colleges and universities, Iowa area com m unity col leges and the Iowa College Aid Commission. The C orporation is em powered to issue taxexempt revenue bonds under the provisions of Sec tion 103(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Bond proceeds w ill be used to purchase guaranteed stu dent loans. It is anticipated that the difference be tween the interest rate on the bonds issued and the return on the student loans purchased w ill be suffi cient to pay the costs of operating the Corporation and servicing the loans. The Student Loans. Student loans can be originated by commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and state agencies. These loans are authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. To be eligible the student must be attending an approved institution and car rying at least one-half of the full-tim e course load. Beginning January 1, 1981, a "dependent" stu dent may borrow up to $2,500 per year for up to five years, and an "independent" student may borrow up to $3,000 per year for up to five years. There are also additional programs for graduate students and there w ill be a "loan to parents" program. The in terest rate for existing borrowers is 7%; for new borrowers after January 1,1981, the rate w ill be 9%. W hile the student is in school and during certain specified periods thereafter, the interest is paid by Federal subsidies and the student is exempt from principal repayment. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis In addition to the basic interest on the loan, the lenders w ill receive a "special allowance payment" on a quarterly basis. The special allowance is com puted on the basis of the average bond equivalent annual rate of 91 dayTreasury Bills auctioned during the preceding quarter, less 31/2%, rounded upward to the nearest Vs of 1%. For the quarter ending September 30, 1980, the allowance payment was computed at an annual rate of 6¥s%. These loans can be directly insured by the federal government through its Federal Insured Student Loan (FISL) program. M ore generally, they are guaranteed by a state agency w hich in turn reinsures w ith the federal government. The terms of the rein surance provide for reimbursement to the agency of 80% to 100% depending on the claims experience for the current fiscal year. W hen the student leaves school and after a short grace period (10 months or less), he or she is required to begin making principal and interest payments. The principal repayment period is usually not less than five years nor more than ten years from the end of the grace period. The Guaranty Agency. In Iowa, the guaranty agency is the Iowa College Aid Commission, which maintains as one of its divisions the Iowa Guaran teed Student Loan program staff. Pursuant to the Higher Education Act, the Iowa College Aid Com mission and the Secretary of Education have entered into an agreement providing for federal reimburse ment to the Commission for the amount expended by the Commission in discharge of its guarantee obligations. This agency pledges 100% reimburse ment on each loan it guarantees and administers under the federal insurance programs. Because it is still w ithin its first five years of operation (the agree ment was signed in August, 1978), the Iowa agency is receiving 100% claims reimbursement from the federal program. At the end of this five year period, the federal reimbursement w ill change to a sliding scale based on actual claims experience. The actual claim rate to date is extremely m inor (less than Vi of 1%), and the projected rate for the future is low enough (less than 5%), that the Iowa agency w ill continue to have 100% claims reimbursement by the federal program. The Iowa agency is also required to maintain a "guarantee fu n d " equal to at least 2% o f the loans guaranteed. This is funded by deducting a 1 % guaranty fee from the face value of the loan at the time of its disbursement to the student. The Iowa guarantee fund presently has a balance of about $2,700,000 and there are about $100,000,000 guaranteed loans outstanding. Carleton D. Beh Co.

The prescribed accounting for futures contracts is in a state of flux and can have a very significant impact on a bank’s reported earnings. It is essential that the accounting and regulatory principles be understood before entering into futures contracts. What are commodity exchanges and how do they operate? What safeguards are provided to insure against any losses from defaults of brokers, the Exchange, or other parties to the transaction? How are trades executed on the Exchange and what procedures are necessary for a bank to buy or sell a futures contract? In addition, it is essential to understand the primary internal control features that need to be addressed by the bank, for filing with the regulators and for internal bank operations. Answers to these questions and the background of futures exchanges and markets, with emphasis on the rapid growth and use of interest-rate futures, will be presented. o< © •< <o »_ aa 3«i Question and Answer Session □ □□ This session will enable participants to obtain additional information from the speakers by addressing specific questions from the audience.
