Yesterday, The House Financial Services Committee passed H.R. 3818, the Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act.
H.R. 3818 passed by a vote of 67-1 and was introduced by Congressman Paul E. Kanjorski (D-PA), Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises.
H.R. 3818 would amend the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and place new registration and reporting requirements on hedge funds, private equity firms, single-family offices, and other private pools of capital. The bill, however, does exempt funds of less than $150 million (previously $30 million).
Although this new piece of legislation garnered early bipartisan support, it is is still pending a House floor vote.
The Committee is expected to vote on additional pieces of legislation such as H.R. 3817, the Investor Protection Act and H.R. 3890, the Accountability and Transparency in Rating Agencies Act later today.
Bulge-bracket is a term used in corporate finance to describe the largest and often most prestigious investment banks. Although there is no strict metric for this classification, bulge-bracket investment banks typically represent clients with transaction values in excess of $50 million. [NOTE: www.PrivateEquityInfo.com segregates investment banking firms by the enterprise value of the firms’ typical clients. See Corporate Finance Firms article for further details].
Prior to the 2007-2008 sub prime mortgage crisis, bulge-bracket firms dominated Wall Street. However, many of the largest investment banks were highly leveraged, having borrowed sums of money that were too large relative to their cash or equity capital. This borrowing essentially leverages (amplifies) a firm’s returns (up or down), making the firms particularly vulnerable to market movements. The sub prime crisis, therefore had far reaching effects and served as a cleansing of sorts for the financial markets. As the value of mortgage-backed securities in the investment banks’ leveraged portfolios declined, so did the banks’ solvency, which begs the questions: “What happened to the Bulge Bracket firms and where are they now?”
During the sub prime mortgage crisis, major financial institutions failed, merged or were bailed out by governments. Here’s what happened to the five largest U.S. investment banks (not in order of size):
