Secretary Paulson said that he wanted, additional powers to manage the resolution, or wind-down, of large non-depository financial institutions, such as larger hedge funds, so as to limit the impact of a failure on the broader financial system. This increased regulatory control would help insulate the economy in the event of a massive hedge fund depression.
