Too Big to Fail

The term "too big to fail" refers to the idea that some businesses are so large, that if they would dissolve, they would cause havoc in the economy. 
Within a year after the near-collapse of the U.S. financial system, the federal response redefined how Americans got mortgages, student loans and other kinds of credit and has made a national spectacle of executive pay. But no consequence of the crisis seemed to alarm regulators more than having banks that were already too big to fail grow even larger and more interconnected. 
In late 2009, a U.S. House of Representatives committee approved key regulatory legislation intended to curb the harmful economic effects of financial services institutions deemed too big to fail. The bill aimed to prevent the United States from being once again faced with the prospect of systemic economic chaos if large failing firms are not bailed out.
 
In an effort to identify systemic risk and prevent future crisis, the Financial Stability Oversight Council was formed. At the start of 2011, they were supposed to start identifying companies that are deemed 'too big to fail' and pose dangers to the market. Tim Geithner was quoted saying at the time, "what size and mix of business do you classify as systemic? It depends too much on the state of the world at the time. You won't be able to make a judgment about what's systemic and what's not until you know the nature of the shock." People close to the matter believe that Geithner was talking about the need for regulators to use discretion over banks with systemic risk and that it was not smart to prescribe hard objective metrics. He believes that this will give the big banks under investigation wiggle room.

Total Return Swap

A total return swap or TRS is a a contract between two counterparties that replicates the exposure to a portfolio of stocks, bonds or other assets in exchange for a fee or financing rate. 
This type of swap allows an asset manager to take a larger position with limited funds up front rather than having to acquire them in the public markets.
==Structure==
There are two parties to a TRS, the payer and the receiver. Typical payers would be banks, hedge funds insurance companies or a fixed-income portfolio manager with lots of cash.
The payer makes a payment to the receiver if the total return is positive. If the total return on the assets is negative, then the receiver makes a payment to the payer.
While the swap is bespoke and can reference any index or portfolio, payment frequency and financing rates are also being standardized. All payments and end date for the swap are set at the time the contract is negotiated.

Toxic asset

Toxic assets (also referred to as "toxic debt") refers to the various asset classes that were hit hardest by the 2008 financial crisis, such as sub-prime mortgages – the original "toxic asset". These assets have proved financially ruinous; they have had their valuations cut and demand for them has dried up. Holders of toxic debt have seen huge losses and some have been forced to raise emergency capital. 
Some of the toxic debts are wrapped up in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). At least half of all CDOs sold in the U.S. in 2006 were loaded with subprime mortgage debt, according to Moody’s and Morgan Stanley. 
In March 2009, U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner unveiled long-awaited proposals to deal with these toxic assets. The plan puts together a small amount of private capital with a large amount of public money to buy as much as $1 trillion of the bad assets. The Treasury will direct five private funds to manage the program. Firms in the running include BlackRock and PIMCO.
