Financial institutions and asset management companies will follow a set formula in splitting future profits and losses on assets transferred to the TAMC . The first portion of any loss, up to 20 percent of the NPL's total collateral value, will be absorbed by the financial institution or asset management company . The next 20 percent of any loss will be split evenly between the financial institution or asset management company and the TAMC, and the remainder will be absorbed entirely by the TAMC . While most financial institutions concede that pooling bad loans together into a single workout agency should accelerate restructuring, questions remain over the agency's operations, transparency, and management.
