Some kinds of consumer-loan-backed securities will be at more of a disadvantage than others when the Federal Reserve in March winds down a program it has used to prop up the market.

Michael Wade of Barclays Capital in New York said the end of the central bank’s Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, will have little effect on some asset classes like prime auto and credit cards.
