FHLBI

[Kyle V.]

Our company is considering membership in the FHLBI. Would assets pledged as collateral if we were to take a loan be admitted or non-admitted. After reviewing SSAP 21R we believe they would be admitted but want to ensure we are not missing anything on restricted assets.

Kyle,
SSAP 21R is the correct place to start but be aware of the impairment rules and non-admission rules for Collateral Loans ( see SSAP 21R paragraph 4a and 4b)
Also note see the footnote in SSAP21R which will take you to another SSAP ( i.e SSAP26R).

So based on the few facts you gave me the assets should admissible but please be aware of the impairment and nonadmission guidance cited in SSAP21R.

Also, I would advise you reviewing the tabular disclosure requirements and NAIC instructions for Note 5L - Restricted Assets - specifically Note 5L subsection l which calls for Restricted Assets pledged as collateral to FHLB
Please review Note 5L and the subcategories and instructions

Regards,
Glenn S Sackett
