What it does
The Merchant Banking Modernization Act would amend the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 to generally permit bank holding companies to hold merchant banking investments for up to 15 years, extending the previously allowed holding period. It applies to bank holding companies and their merchant banking investments, requiring that any such investment held on the date of enactment be permitted to be held for no less than 15 years from its initial investment date. The bill establishes a minimum holding period of 15 years under regulatory guidelines, aiming to modernize and lengthen the time frame for these investments.
