• Calculation of Capital Requirement

    • CA-4.3.3

      For a collateralised transaction, the exposure amount after risk mitigation is calculated as follows:

      E* = Max {0, [E × (1 + He) - C × (1 - Hc - Hfx)]}

      where:

      E* = The exposure value after risk mitigation

      E = Current value of the exposure

      He = Haircut appropriate to the exposure

      C = The current value of the collateral received

      Hc = Haircut appropriate to the collateral

      Hfx = Haircut appropriate for currency mismatch between the collateral and exposure

    • CA-4.3.4

      The exposure amount after risk mitigation will be multiplied by the risk weight of the counterparty to obtain the risk-weighted asset amount for the collateralised transaction.

      The treatment for transactions where there is a mismatch between the maturity of the counterparty exposure and the collateral is given in paragraphs CA-4.6.1 to CA-4.6.4.

    • CA-4.3.6

      Where the collateral is a basket of assets, the haircut on the basket will be

      H = Σi ai Hi , where ai is the weight of the asset (as measured by units of currency) in the i basket and Hi the haircut applicable to that asset.
