(p37/2:08) - Elizabeth Warren - I have heard that the designation process is not transparent, and I am all for increased transparency, but I assume the Council must balance transparency against disclosing confidential or potentially market-moving information.

Shelby (R-AL) - Would you discuss the likelihood of a so-called run on insurance products such as life insurance and what such a run would have to look like in order to cause systemic risk?
Gary Hughes, ACLI - I know one of the dissents to one of the designations pointed out, quite correctly, that insurance regulators have the absolute authority to prevent people from turning in their policies, if that is warranted.
But I think the experience of the recent economic crisis is very telling in this respect.
In fact, it was just the opposite of a run.
The products were so desirable in terms of the guarantees they made that, notwithstanding the crisis, people were holding onto those products no matter what.

The State of the Insurance Industry and Insurance Regulation, Richard Shelby (R-AL) --- [BonkNote]
As a liability-driven business, insurance often has long-term cash flow patterns compared to shorter-term activities at banks.
Consequently, current law fails to adequately account for the business model and risk profile of insurance companies, and that should concern us all.
