Predatory Lending Divestment Note for Advantage
Predatory Lending Divestment Note for Advantage SRI Advantage Capital Strategies identifies industries that have detrimental environmental, social, and economic effects and takes action to mitigate risk both through screening and advocating for change. The Predatory Lending Industry Explained Predatory lending refers to payday lenders, pawnbrokers, rent-to-own stores, subprime mortgage and auto loan providers, and cheque cashers.1 These types of loans can be acquired by almost anyone regardless of financial background, but they come with exorbitantly high interest rates and other fees. Payday loans are not provided by financial institutions such as banks, which are regulated by the federal government, but rather by providers who are regulated provincially. Many provinces do not have restrictions on payday loans, although recently there have been some provincial efforts to better control the industry. Advantage Canada SRI does not invest in companies engaged in predatory lending because of the negative social effects of this industry. There are currently no predatory lending companies on the S&P 500. The Economic Rationale for Divestment Predatory lenders are subject to provincial regulation, but they are not currently subject to the same federal regulations as financial institutions such as banks. The operation of predatory lenders is a contentious issue, as they often provide necessary financial services to those who could otherwise not access them, but charge extremely high interest rates while doing so. Recently there has been a push from certain organizations for provinces to impose stricter regulations on payday loan providers. For example, Alberta recently implemented strict regulations on the interest rates predatory lenders can charge, a change that has severely crippled the industry in that province.2 The possibility of further provincial or federal regulation on predatory lenders represents an economic risk for these companies and therefore for investors.

Banks and Banking Regulation: the United States Has a System Of
Banks and Banking Regulation: The United States has a system of fractional reserve banking. I'll explain exactly what that means over the next hour, but it is important to remember that the US has always had a fractional reserve system of banking. No matter how the system was structured, and no matter which level of government regulated banks, it is always a fractional reserve system. The goals of banking regulation are tied to the problems any fractional reserve system faces. This was true in the 1830s, in the 1930s, and it is still true today in 2006. The starting point in understanding the monetary system is to understand that most money takes the form of "liabilities of the banks." This sounds odd, but it isn't. When you put money into your checking account, you have a deposit. The deposit is an asset to you and a "liability" to the bank. It is an asset to you because you can convert it into goods and services "on demand." In the early 19th century most banks issued bank notes. These were literally paper money that was the liability of the bank. Note holders had the right to demand that the bank convert the bank note into "specie" (typically gold or silver coins). Changes in the banking system introduced during the Civil War "National Banking Act(s)" made it unprofitable for most banks to issue notes. So they dramatically expanded the creation of deposit liabilities through a rapid expansion of checking accounts. Today, most of the money in the United States is held in the form of bank deposits.

New Beneficial Ownership Rules in Full Effect: What to Expect and How to Manage the New Procedures
February 2019 New Beneficial Ownership Rules in Full Effect: What to Expect and How to Manage the New Procedures Executive Summary The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a final rule on May 11, 2016, (effective for covered financial institutions on May 11, 2018) regarding customer due diligence requirements for covered financial institutions. As a result, a company entering into new lending, treasury management, hedging or other relationships or opening new bank accounts with covered financial institutions must now generally disclose additional information related to individuals who (i) control the company and (ii) own a certain amount (directly or indirectly) of the company. These requirements are in addition to the “know your customer” (aka KYC) deliverables mandated by the USA PATRIOT Act (the Patriot Act). Practical takeaways about the Beneficial Ownership Rule discussed in this article include: • Your Financing and Any Amendments to Your Existing Credit Facility Will Likely Be Affected. Even if you already have existing bank accounts and are obtaining new financing with an institution with whom you have an established relationship, expect renewed legal entity due diligence, more questions, new forms to complete and additional KYC hurdles. • Communicate Upfront. Start the conversation early with bank lenders to determine how the bank’s compliance department is implementing the Beneficial Ownership Rule and to learn what ownership threshold (i.e., 10 percent, 25 percent) the bank is requiring. • Allow Time to Complete Forms. Allocate additional time and resources to completing the administrative tasks related to the beneficial ownership forms. • Carefully Handle Information. Handle with care the communication of individuals’ Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information.
