Master Liquidity Enhancing Conduit (M-LEC)

        In October 2007, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America initiated a plan to back a new fund, called the Master Liquidity Enhancing Conduit (M-LEC) that intends to buy assets from SIVs advised by Citigroup and other third-party institutions. This is being done as part of an effort to avert the situation where the SIVs will be forced to liquidate significant amounts of mortgage-backed securities, resulting in a broad-based repricing of these assets in the market at steep discounts.

        SIVs, including those advised by Citigroup, have experienced difficulties in refinancing maturing commercial paper and medium-term notes, due to reduced liquidity in the market for commercial paper.
