The National Credit Union Administration announced the Corporate System Resolution Program on September 24, 2010. As part of the resolution, the NCUA created the NCUA Guaranteed Note (NGN) Program to provide long-term funding for distressed investment securities from the five failed corporate credit unions.
The legacy assets consist of over 2,000 investment securities, secured by approximately 1.6 million residential mortgages, as well as commercial mortgages and other securitized assets. As illustrated below, the NCUA transferred the legacy assets to NGN trusts. The NGN trusts then issued approximately $28.3 billion of NGNs, backed by the cash flows from the legacy assets. The timely repayment of principal and interest to the investors in NGNs is guaranteed by the NCUA and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
On September 28, 2017, the NCUA Board unanimously voted to close the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) effective October 1, 2017, ahead of its sunset date of June 30, 2021. All remaining funds, property, and other assets were transferred to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund), representing a major milestone in the wind-down of the Corporate System Resolution Program.
While the net projected assessment range is no longer relevant, the NCUA will continue to report the total gross and net corporate system resolution costs, as well as the NGN and legacy asset data that has been reported historically. Additional reporting on NCUA’s receivable from the estates, the estimated impact to the equity ratio and potential recoveries of depleted corporate capital will also be provided.
This website provides information about the NGN Program and the Stabilization Fund, including the ongoing performance of the NGN securities and the underlying legacy assets.

Oversight of the NGN Program
The NCUA Board created the NGN Securities Management and Oversight Committee to ensure the NCUA meets all its statutory and legal obligations under the NGN Program. The Directors of the Office of Examination & Insurance, Asset Management and Assistance Center, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer comprise the Committee.
