This document provides illustrative examples for calculating the risk-weighted amount of Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) exposure when a portion constitutes a deductible holding. It details the specific formulas and steps for determining the principal amounts subject to capital deduction versus those subject to risk-weighting for both Level 1 and Level 2 CIS structures. The examples demonstrate how Authorized Institutions (AIs) should apply provisions from Division 4 of Part 3 of the BCR, including leverage adjustments and the separation of regulatory deductible items from underlying exposures.
1 Annex IIIa and IIIb-B Examples of calculation of risk-weighted amount of CIS exposure with portion constituting deductible holding The following examples deliberately incorporate certain assumptions for the sake of simplicity and ease of illustration. When determining the amount of capital deduction and the amount subject to risk-weighting for capital instruments or non-capital LAC liabilities in an actual case, AIs should always refer to and follow the relevant provisions set out in Division 4 of Part 3 (including the relevant schedules) of the BCR. The reporting arrangements are intended to illustrate what principal amounts should be reported when the collective investment scheme concerned has a leverage level of more than 1. Although risk-weights under the STC approach are used in the examples for illustration, the calculation steps illustrated also apply to the BSC approach. Example 1: Capital instruments held by a Level 1 CIS Consider a Level 1 CIS that has the following balance sheet: Asset Cash $20 CET1 capital instruments (AA- to AAA) issued by: — financial sector entity A $100 — financial sector entity B $100 Debt securities (A rated) issued by sovereigns $280 Listed equities issued by — Commercial entity A $100 — Other commercial entities $400 Liabilities Note payable $50 Equity Shares $950 Moreover, assume the following: an AI using the STC approach owns 20% of the shares of the Level 1 CIS and the principal amount of the AI’s equity investment in the Level 1 CIS (PCIS exposure) is $190;
(200) (1000) ∙ (190) = 38 However, since the Level 1 CIS uses leverage, the AI’s actual exposure to the regulatory deductible items = leverage of Level 1 CIS × PDH = (1000) (950) ∙ (38) = 40 Alternatively, the AI may calculate the amount of its indirect holding of the regulatory deductible items by multiplying PRDI by 20% = 200 × 20% = 40
3 Amount of the AI’s deductible holding subject to capital deduction After applying all the relevant provisions in Division 4 of Part 3 (including relevant schedules) of the BCR, the AI determines that the total amount of the deductible holding that must be deducted from its CET1 capital is $34. RWA of the AI’s deductible holding not subject to capital deduction RWA = (4×100%) + (2×250%) = $9 Principal amount Riskweight RWA Capital deduction CET1 capital instruments issued by: — financial sector entity A (BCR §43(1)(o), §70AC(3)(a) and Schedule 4F) share of the AI that is subject to risk-weighting $4 100% $4 - share of the AI that is subject to capital deduction $16 - - $16 — financial sector entity B (BCR §43(1)(p), §70AC(3)(b) and Schedule 4G) share of the AI that is subject to risk-weighting $2 250% $5 - share of the AI that is subject to capital deduction $18 - - $18 Portion of the AI’s CIS exposure that does not constitute deductible holding (Part 6B and §226ZT) Under the LTA, the risk-weighted amount (RWA) of the underlying exposures of the Level 1 CIS are calculated as follows: Principal amount Riskweight RWA Cash (BCR §63) $20 0% $0 Debt securities (A rated) issued by sovereigns (BCR §55) $280 20% $56 Listed equities
(800) (1000) ∙ (190) = 152 RWAnon-DH is then calculated as follows: 𝑅𝑊𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝐷𝐻 = ( 𝑅𝑊𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝑅𝐷𝐼 𝑇𝐴 − 𝑃𝑅𝐷𝐼 ) ∙ 𝑇𝐴 𝑇𝐸 ∙ 𝑃𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝐷𝐻 = ( 20∙0%+280∙20%+100∙100%+400∙100% 1000−200 ) ∙ 1000 950 ∙152 = ( 56 + 100 + 400 800 ) ∙ 160 = 111.2

6 Example 2: Capital instruments held by a Level 2 CIS Consider a Level 1 CIS that has the following balance sheet: Asset Cash $20 CIS exposure to a Level 2 CIS $40 Debt securities (A rated) issued by sovereigns $580 Listed equities $360 Liabilities Note payable $50 Equity Shares $950 Moreover, assume the following: an AI using the STC approach owns 20% of the shares of the Level 1 CIS and the principal amount of the AI’s equity investment in the Level 1 CIS (PCIS exposure) is $190; and the AI is able to use the LTA to calculate the RWAs of the underlying exposures of the Level 1 CIS and the Level 2 CIS. The following is the balance sheet of the Level 2 CIS: Asset Cash $10 CET1 capital instruments (AA- to AAA) issued by financial sector entity A $200 Debt securities (A rated) issued by sovereigns $190 Listed equities $400 Liabilities Note payable $0 Equity Shares $800 The AI owns less than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of financial sector entity A which is neither an entity subject to a section 3C requirement nor an affiliate of the AI.

1 In order to illustrate how to identify the portion of a CIS exposure that contributes to the deductible holding of the AI, capital deduction is represented by the application of a risk-weight (i.e. 1250%) in the equations in this example.
𝑃𝑅𝐷𝐼 ∙ 𝑅𝑊𝑅𝐷𝐼 ∙ %𝐿1 𝐶𝐼𝑆 + 21.9 + 𝑅𝑊𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝐶𝐼𝑆 𝑇𝐴1 ∙ 𝑇𝐴1 𝑇𝐸1 ∙ 𝑃𝐶𝐼𝑆 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑜
1000 − 200 ∙ 5% 1000 ∙ 190 = 188.1 The RWA of that portion (RWAnon-DH) is calculated as follows: Principal amount Riskweight RWA Cash (BCR §63) $20 0% $0 CIS exposure to a Level 2 CIS - - $21.92 Debt securities (A rated) issued by sovereigns (BCR §55) $580 20% $116 Listed equities (BCR §66) $360 100% $360 𝑅𝑊𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝐷𝐻 = 21.9 + 𝑅𝑊𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑛−𝐶𝐼𝑆 𝑇𝐴1 − 𝑃𝑅𝐷𝐼 ∙ %𝐿1 𝐶𝐼𝑆 ∙ 𝑇𝐴1 𝑇𝐸1 ∙ 188.1 = ( 0 + 21.9 + 116 + 360 1000 − 10 ) ∙ 1000 950 ∙ 188.1 = 99.58
2 This is the RWA calculated under Step 1.
10 Step 3: Portion of the AI’s CIS exposure to Level 1 CIS that constitutes deductible holding (§70AC) Amount of the AI’s CIS exposure to the Level 1 CIS that constitutes deductible holding (PDH) is calculated as follows: 𝑃𝐷𝐻 = 𝑃𝑅𝐷𝐼 ∙ %𝐿1 𝐶𝐼𝑆 ∙ %𝐴𝐼 = 200 ∙ 40 800 ∙ 190 950 = 2 where %AI is the share of the AI in the equity of the Level 1 CIS. Amount of the AI’s deductible holding subject to capital deduction (§43(1)(o), §70AC(2)(a) and (c), and Schedule 4F) After applying all the relevant provisions in Division 4 of Part 3 (including relevant schedules) of the BCR, the AI determines that the total amount of the deductible holding that must be deducted from its CET1 capital is $1. RWA of the AI’s deductible holding not subject to capital deduction (§70AC(2)(b) and (d) and (3)(a)) RWA = ($1×100%) = $1 Reporting arrangements for Part IIIb of MA(BS)3 Reporting of the portion that does not constitute deductible holding
