Banks and financial firms that originate residential mortgage-backed securities will have a year to comply with a new risk-retention rule under Dodd-Frank.  In October, the Federal Reserve, along with other federal agencies, approved a rule requiring sponsors of asset-backed securities to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the assets used as collateral.
Serving the West Side first I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for 1360 KUIK.
