Article 281 Calculation of the Exposure Value

1.

Institutions shall calculate a single exposure value at netting set level in accordance with Section 3, subject to paragraph 2 of this Article.

2.

The exposure value of a netting set shall be calculated in accordance with the following requirements:

  1. (a) institutions shall not apply the treatment referred to in Article 274(6);
  2. (b) by way of derogation from Article 275(1), for netting sets that are not referred to in Article 275(2), institutions shall calculate the replacement cost in accordance with the following formula:
  3. RC = max{CMV, 0}
  4. where:
  5. RC = the replacement cost; and
  6. CMV = the current market value.
  7. (c) by way of derogation from Article 275(2), for netting sets of transactions: that are traded on a recognised exchange; that are centrally cleared by a central counterparty authorised in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or recognised in accordance with Article 25 of that Regulation; or for which collateral is exchanged bilaterally with the counterparty in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, institutions shall calculate the replacement cost in accordance with the following formula:
  8. RC = TH + MTA
  9. where:
  10. RC = the replacement cost;
  11. TH = the margin threshold applicable to the netting set under the margin agreement below which the institution cannot call for collateral; and
  12. MTA = the minimum transfer amount applicable to the netting set under the margin agreement;
  13. (d) by way of derogation from Article 275(3), for multiple netting sets that are subject to a margin agreement, institutions shall calculate the replacement cost as the sum of the replacement cost of each individual netting set, calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 as if they were not margined;
  14. (e) all hedging sets shall be established in accordance with Article 277a(1);
  15. (f) institutions shall set to 1 the multiplier in the formula that is used to calculate the potential future exposure in Article 278(1), as follows:
  16. where:
  17. PFE = the potential future exposure; and
  18. AddOn(a) = the add-on for risk category a;
  19. (g) by way of derogation from Article 279a(1), for all transactions, institutions shall calculate the supervisory delta as follows:
  20. δ =
  21. where:
  22. δ = the supervisory delta;
  23. (h) the formula referred to in point (a) of Article 279b(1) that is used to compute the supervisory duration factor shall read as follows:
  24. supervisory duration factor = E – S
  25. where:
  26. E = the period between the end date of a transaction and the calculation date; and
  27. S = the period between the start date of a transaction and the calculation date;
  28. (i) the maturity factor referred to in Article 279c(1) shall be calculated as follows:
    1. (i) for transactions included in netting sets referred to in Article 275(1), MF = 1;
    2. (ii) for transactions included in netting sets referred to in Article 275(2) and (3), MF = 0.42;
  29. (j) the formula referred to in Article 280a(3) that is used to calculate the effective notional amount of hedging set j shall read as follows:
  30. where:
  31. = the effective notional amount of hedging set j; and
  32. Dj,k = the effective notional amount of bucket k of hedging set j;
  33. (k) the formula referred to in Article 280c(3) that is used to calculate the credit risk category add-on for hedging set j shall read as follows:
  34. where:
  35. = the credit risk category add-on for hedging set j; and
  36. AddOn(Entityk) = the add-on for the credit reference entity k;
  37. (l) the formula referred to in Article 280d(3) that is used to calculate the equity risk category add-on for hedging set j shall read as follows:
  38. where:
  39. = the equity risk category add-on for hedging set j; and
  40. AddOn(Entityk) = the add-on for the credit reference entity k;
  41. (m) the formula referred to in Article 280e(4) that is used to calculate the commodity risk category add-on for hedging set j of the commodity risk category in Article 280e(3) shall read as follows:
  42. where:
  43. = the commodity risk category add-on for hedging set j; and
  44. = the add-on for the commodity reference type k.
