Equity participations in, and credit exposures to, consolidated banking and financial subsidiaries (see CA-2.3.1(c)) need not be included in exposures to connected counterparties for the sake of the table in CM-2.5.15. Equity participations in, and credit or financing exposures to, unconsolidated subsidiaries are included in the definition of exposure in order to understand the degree of support the parent is supplying to its unconsolidated subsidiaries on a day-to-day basis.
