Federal accounting rules, deteriorating securities and an increasing corporate bailout price tag are hurdles the NCUA will have to overcome in its quest to rid corporates of toxic investments.
Pressure from regulators to increase earnings forced Missouri Corporate CU to lower its overnight dividend rate to 0%, effective May 1.
The $3.7 billion Corporate One Federal Credit Union is placing full reliance for repayment on monoline insurer Ambac Assurance Corp, bucking the trend of other corporates who have recorded OTTIs on affected securities.
Further deterioration in U.S. Central FCU's private label residential mortgage backed securities resulted in a $57.7 million OTTI for first quarter 2010, according to the institution's financial reports, released Friday.
Industry consultant Larry Harmon has been named interim executive director of the Association of Corporate Credit Unions.
Two industry veterans say securitizing toxic corporate assets could push the cost of corporate stabilization above the current $9.5 billion tab.
D. Henry Blevins, managing director at Crews & Associates, said credit unions should be concerned unexpected gains from securitized corporate assets would not be returned to their balance sheets.
Federal accounting rules for nonprofits may be among the challenges preventing the NCUA from simply adopting the structure of FDIC's March 5 securitization of toxic bank investments.
Monoline insurer Ambac's forced restructuring could cost corporate credit unions as much as $400 million in new OTTIs.
Despite recommendations by CUNA and others that call for significant corporate consolidation, three executives of small corporates said they are not in merger discussions and are unlikely to merge.
