Regulatory capital relief securities add yield, diversification to banking portfolios

Dana Staggs, president of ArrowMark Financial Corp. -- a non-diversified, closed-end fund that trades under ticker symbol BANX -- talks about why the fund has changed in recent years to where 87 percent of its holdings are now in regulatory capital relief securities, and what that esoteric asset can add to a diversified portfolio. Staggs also discusses his outlook for banking -- where he acknowledges the potential for troubles but says they should not be systemic, disruptive problems -- and how reg-cap securities are set up to weather the potential storms.
