Impactful Policy Frameworks
Dodd-Frank Act Amendments (ongoing)
While not a new act, ongoing discussions and potential amendments to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (enacted 2010) regarding capital requirements and risk retention for commercial real estate loans could impact lending practices.
Potential changes could either ease or tighten capital requirements for lenders, directly affecting loan availability and pricing for Hartford Funding and its clients.
Basel III Endgame (proposed 2023)
The proposed 'Basel III Endgame' rules by U.S. banking regulators aim to overhaul how large banks calculate capital requirements, including those related to commercial real estate exposures.
If finalized, these rules could increase capital costs for large banks involved in CRE lending, potentially shifting more demand towards non-bank lenders like Hartford Funding, but also influencing their own capital strategies if they rely on bank credit lines.
Cybersecurity Regulations (state-level, ongoing)
Various states are implementing stricter cybersecurity and data privacy regulations (e.g., NY SHIELD Act, CCPA in California) that impact how financial institutions handle client data.
Hartford Funding must invest in robust cybersecurity measures to comply with these regulations, protecting sensitive client financial information and avoiding potential penalties, which directly impacts operational costs and client trust.
