Understanding TARP audio conference (E2)

The government’s massive Troubled Asset Relief Program remains a work in progress as the Treasury department almost daily announces new ways it plans to spend the $700 billion in “rescue” funds authorized by Congress. Will the lion’s share of the funding still go towards buying distressed mortgages assets? Or will it go towards injecting capital into a growing number of financial institutions? And will some of the funding be used to launch a major new homeowner rescue plan?

Find out what’s going on with TARP and how it will impact a variety of different mortgage market players at a new Inside Mortgage Finance audio conference on November 20. Hear from a panel of legal and market experts about the opportunities and challenges facing those who participate or use TARP assistance.

The cornerstone of the government’s rescue plan is supposed to be a system of buying billions of dollars worth of whole mortgages and mortgage-backed securities from banks and other investors. But this system has been slow to get off the ground. Get the latest information on how loan and MBS purchases will work and how deals are being structured.

• Edward E. Gainor, Partner, McKee Nelson LLP;
