Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility

On December 31, 2020, the TALF’s authorization to lend expired. On March 4, 2024, the special purpose vehicle established to issue loans was terminated. The materials and information on the webpages associated with this facility will remain available.
On March 23, 2020, the Federal Reserve established the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) to support the flow of credit to consumers and businesses. The TALF enabled the issuance of asset-backed securities (ABS) backed by student loans, auto loans, credit card loans, loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, leveraged loans, commercial mortgages, and certain other assets.

To establish the facility, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York financed a special purpose vehicle called TALF II LLC, which provided non-recourse loans secured by eligible collateral to eligible borrowers. The U.S. Department of the Treasury, using funds appropriated to the Exchange Stabilization Fund under section 4027 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, made an initial equity investment in TALF II LLC of $10 billion. The TALF was established by the Federal Reserve under the authority of Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.

On December 31, 2020, the TALF’s authorization to lend expired. Loans issued to borrowers by TALF II LLC were repaid in full on or before December 8, 2023.

TALF II LLC returned the Treasury’s entire equity contribution (together with earning on investment of those funds) in installments beginning on January 5, 2021 and culminating on December 22, 2023.

On January 19 and February 23, 2024, TALF II LLC made its final distributions of assets to the Treasury and the New York Fed. In accordance with the TALF II LLC limited liability company agreement, 90% of the distributions were sent to the Treasury and 10% to the New York Fed.

On March 4, 2024, TALF II LLC was terminated.


Vendors

In May 2020, the New York Fed selected Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) as a third-party vendor to serve as collateral monitor for this facility. PIMCO was selected for this role after considering its knowledge and experience in the ABS market, as well as its prior experience in TALF during the Global Financial Crisis. This allowed for a quick time to market.

In May 2020, the New York Fed selected The Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM) as a third-party vendor to serve as custodian and administrator for this facility. BNYM was selected for this role after considering its operational and technological capabilities as well as its prior experience in TALF, which allowed for a quick time to market.

Affiliates of the collateral monitor or the custodian were permitted to become TALF borrowers or act as investment managers for TALF borrowers organized as investment funds. As a result, the collateral monitor and custodian agreements contained significant conflict of interest requirements. Additionally, the New York Fed did not use the collateral monitor or custodian to assess the valuation of any collateral pledged or proposed by a borrower affiliated with or managed by the collateral monitor or custodian or their affiliates.

Quarterly reports on the costs associated with the vendors supporting this facility are available in Vendor Information.
