*Description*

The primary focus of this webinar is on which funding sources and
mechanisms will provide sources of capital for CDFIs in the near term and
why. The Team will also focus on what the CDFI can expect in the context of
pricing, terms and conditions. This webinar covers:

· Banks: the nature of their business and the regulatory and profit
constraints under which they operate that impact the ability to assist
CDFIs.

· Major participants in the capital markets: banks, credit unions,
insurance companies, pension funds, GSEs, MI firms.

· Alternative sources of capital available to CDFIs including
pension funds, endowments (e.g. University endowments), Program Related
Investments, individual investors, and other institutional investors (e.g.
religious institutions.)

· Explanation of basic financial concepts and terminology that these
entities utilize in evaluating and discussing investment opportunities
(e.g., LIBOR, Prime rate, borrowing base, IRR, NPV, liquidity risk, concept
of investment tranches, credit enhancement, etc.).

· Financing vehicles: bonds, securitization, commercial paper, and
insurance.

· Current state of the markets and how that affects various sources

· Progress of CDFIs in expanding financing options and the remaining
impediments (e.g. need for standardized reporting and analytics, and
economies of scale).

· Financing vehicles that make the most sense for CDFIs in the
current environment: participations, loan pools, sales to secondary markets,
PRIs, Co-operatives, EQ2. Examination of the pros and cons of each source
and which sources make most sense for CDFIs based on their size, experience
and history.

The bulk of the information in this webinar will draw from the relationships
that members of the Team have with financial institutions and participants
in the capital markets. The Team will
also use materials from the Orientation to the Capital Markets, the
conferences set up by the Federal Reserve Banks and the Financial
Innovations Roundtable and presented at Federal Reserve Banks around the
country. These materials include definitions, tools, structures, and
“how-to” methodologies for the range of potential funding activities in the
conventional and capital markets. The Webinar will also draw heavily on the
new book, CDFIs, Capital Markets
and Organizational Credit Risk, recently published by the Carsey Institute.
