Finance sidebar Wholesale funding is a method that banks use in addition to core demand deposits to finance operations and manage risk. Wholesale funding sources include, but are not limited to, Federal funds , public funds such as state and local municipalities , U.S. Federal Home Loan Bank advances, the U.S. Discount window Federal Reserve s primary credit program , foreign deposits, brokered deposits, and deposits obtained through the Internet or CD listing services. ref cite web url http www.fdic.gov regulations safety manual section6 1.html title Management Manual of Examination Policies Sec 6.1 Liquity and Funds Management author Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ref Rationale Although core deposits continue to be a key liability funding source, many insured depository institutions have experienced difficulty attracting core deposits and are increasingly looking to wholesale funding sources to satisfy funding and liability management needs. Liquidity risk Wholesale funding providers are generally sensitive to changes in the credit risk profile of the institutions to which they provide these funds and to the interest rate environment. For instance, such providers closely track the institution s financial condition and may be likely to curtail such funding if other investment opportunities offer more attractive interest rates. As a result, an institution may experience liquidity problems due to lack of wholesale funding availability when needed. Academic research suggests that the use of wholesale funding was one of the major determinants of bank vulnerability during the 2007 2010 financial crisis . ref cite web url http ideas.repec.org a eee jfinin v20y2011i2p248 263.html title The dark side of bank wholesale funding publisher Research Papers in Economics accessdate 2012 05 02 ref See also Bank Interbank lending market References reflist External links http www.fdic.gov ...

Equity Funding Corporation of America was a Los Angeles based U.S. financial conglomerate company conglomerate that marketed a package of mutual funds and life insurance to private individuals in the 1960s and 70s. It collapsed in scandal in 1973 after ex employee Ronald Secrist and securities analyst Ray Dirks blew the whistle on massive accounting fraud , including a computer system dedicated exclusively to creating and maintaining fictitious insurance policies. Investigation found that from 1964 onward, as many as 100 company employees had engaged in organized deception of investors, auditors, reinsurance reinsurers and regulatory authorities. An important sidelight was the filing of insider trading charges against whistleblower Dirks. The ensuing case of Raymond L. Dirks v. Securities and Exchange Commission went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where Dirks was finally acquitted. The case has been termed historic in helping to define insider trading, as well as the treatment of whistleblowers, analysts and the press.
