I. Subject matter
This circular specifies Arts. 95–119 of the Capital Adequacy and Orderly Resolution Ordinance (CAO; SR 952.03). It regulates the connection of counterparties, risk mitigation and the measurement of trading book positions, positions towards central counterparties, covered bonds as well as collective investment schemes, securitisations and other investment structures. It is not applicable for the determination of minimum capital requirements.
II. Basel minimum standards
The present large exposure provisions are based on the following minimum standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("Basel minimum standards"):
5/17
As further qualitative guidelines for assessing whether a control relationship exists, the criteria of the accounting standards recognised by FINMA are to be taken into account. B. Connection through economic dependence [LE§26] Two or more natural or legal persons are considered a group of connected counterparties and are to be treated as a unit if there are identifiable economic dependencies between them that make it likely that the others will encounter payment difficulties if one encounters financial difficulties. In examining whether a connection of counterparties exists due to economic dependence, banks consider at least the following criteria:
6/17
D. Positions towards group companies
Two or more members of a group form a single risk position as a group of connected counterparties.
IV. Positions in the trading book (Art. 118 para. 1 lit. a CAO)
A. Position calculation
[LE§46] For debt securities and equity securities, the book value is decisive.
Positions with credit risk and counterparty credit risk (derivatives and Securities Financing Transactions1 ) are to be measured with regard to both risks. The measurement of counterparty credit risk is uniform for positions of the banking book as well as the trading book and is governed by Art. 57 CAO. For the measurement of credit risk, the original positions are to be disaggregated according to Rz 23–26. [LE§45] It must be taken into account here that
Section (IV. Positions in the trading book) relates exclusively to positions and risks
related to the default of a single counterparty or group of connected counterparties in the trading book. Thus, interest, commodity and currency risks are to be excluded. [LE§47] Linear derivatives such as swaps, futures, forwards and credit derivatives are to be disaggregated into positions according to the regulations for the calculation of minimum capital requirements for market risks. For example, a future on a share X is to be disaggregated into a long position in share X and a short position in a risk-free government bond in the corresponding funding currency. The fictitious government bond does not have to be included in the total position towards the relevant state. [LE§48,53–56] A credit derivative that represents sold credit protection must be recorded as a position towards the reference debtor to the extent of the amount due upon triggering of the credit protection, minus the absolute value of the credit protection. For Credit-Linked Notes, the protection provider must record positions both in the note issuer's bond and in the underlying value of the note. The treatment of positions secured by credit derivatives is described in Rz 33–44. [LE§49] The position values for recording credit risk from non-linear derivatives in the trading book are to be determined based on the change in the option price assuming the complete value loss (jump-to-zero) of the assets underlying a derivative (Underlying). For a long position in a call option, this would be the market value and for a short position in a put option, the exercise price minus the market value of the put option. In the case of a short position in a call option or long position in a put option, the complete value decay of the Underlying leads to a profit (i.e. a negative position value) instead of a loss. Per Underlying, the resulting positions are to be aggregated with the positions from other engagements; after aggregation, negative net engagements are to be set to zero. 1 These are loan, repo and repo-like transactions.
7/17
[LE§50] The determination of position values for other positions (namely index positions, securitisation positions, hedge fund positions) follows the corresponding rules for these instruments in the banking book, cf. Rz 63–78. B. Netting of long and short positions in the trading book Long and short positions in debt and equity securities as well as the positions from derivatives and other positions (cf. Rz 21–26) can be netted in the trading book subject to the following restrictions. a) Netting of issuances in the form of equity securities and debt securities [LE§51] Long and short positions in the same issuance of equity securities can be netted if the issuer and currency are identical. Long and short positions in the same issuance of debt securities can be netted if issuer, coupon, currency and maturity are identical. [LE§52] Positions in different issuances of the same counterparty may only be netted if:

V. Positions towards central counterparties (Art. 118 para. 1
lit. b CAO)
[LE§84] A qualifying central counterparty (qualifying CCP, QCCP) is a company that has the explicit or via exemption permit issued license to function as a CCP and is permitted to do so for the products offered by the competent supervisory authority. In addition, the CCP must have its seat in a jurisdiction where it is supervised and the competent supervisory authority publicly announces that the local regulations and regulations are continuously consistent with the CPMI-IOSCO principles for financial market infrastructures2 . [LE§85] In the case of non-QCCP, banks must measure their positions as the sum of both the clearing positions described in Rz 48–49 and the other positions described in Rz 51, and they must comply with the limit for concentration risks. a) Positions from clearing activities [LE§87] Banks must determine which positions towards a CCP are related to clearing and add up these positions. The positions related to clearing activities are listed in the table below, together with the applicable position values:
Positions from trading transactions
The position from trading transactions must be calculated using the measurement procedures described in the fourth title of the CAO or this circular for the respective engagement type (e.g. using the SA-CCR for derivatives). Margin held in a bankruptcy-proof form3 The position is 0. Margin is not held in a bankruptcy-proof form The position corresponds to the book value of the margin payment made. Pre-funded contributions to the guarantee fund The position corresponds to the book value of the pre-funded contribution. 2 The "Principles for financial market infrastructures" were published in April 2012 by the then Committee on Payments and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the technical committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). The CPSS was renamed in September 2014 to Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI). 3 I.e. there is no loss risk regarding the margin because it is separated from the assets of the CCP and held in a bankruptcy-proof form (e.g. by a custodian as a third party).
10/17
Non-pre-funded contributions to the guarantee fund The position is 0.
Capital participations The position corresponds to the book value. b) Positions from clearing services and other positions [LE§88] If the bank acts as a clearing member or is a customer of a clearing member, it must determine its counterparty to which the positions are to be attributed according to the provisions for the calculation of minimum capital requirements. [LE§89] Other positions that are not directly related to the clearing services of the CCP (such as refinancing facilities, credit facilities, guarantees, etc.) must be considered according to the general provisions for the calculation of the total position.
VI. Covered bonds (Art. 118 para. 1 lit. c CAO)
[LE§68,69,70,71] Covered bonds may, provided they meet the conditions according to Rz 53–60 at issuance and throughout their entire term, be assigned a claim value of 20% of the nominal value:
11/17
12/17 underlying counterparties. The bank must allocate the invested amount to the underlying counterparties in proportion to its exposure to each underlying asset, unless the bank can demonstrate that the exposure to each underlying asset is less than 0.25% of its eligible core capital. B. Calculation of underlying credit positions [LE§75] If the bank uses the look-through approach, it must calculate the credit positions towards the underlying counterparties in accordance with the provisions for the banking book. The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the underlying assets. [LE§76] If the bank does not use the look-through approach, it must treat the collective investment scheme, securitisation or other investment structure as a single counterparty. The position value is determined in accordance with the provisions for the banking book.
C. Structures in which all investors are pari passu (collective investment schemes)
[LE§77] In structures in which all investors are pari passu, the bank must allocate the invested amount to the underlying counterparties in proportion to its exposure to each underlying asset. The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the underlying assets. [LE§78] If the bank cannot determine the underlying counterparties, it must treat the structure as a single counterparty. The position value is determined in accordance with the provisions for the banking book. D. Structures with different ranks of investors [LE§79] In structures with different ranks of investors, the bank must allocate the invested amount to the underlying counterparties in proportion to its exposure to each underlying asset. The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the underlying assets. [LE§80] If the bank cannot determine the underlying counterparties, it must treat the structure as a single counterparty. The position value is determined in accordance with the provisions for the banking book. E. Identification of additional risks [LE§81] The bank must identify any additional risks associated with the structure, such as liquidity risk, operational risk, and legal risk. The bank must take these risks into account when calculating the position value. [LE§82] If the bank cannot identify the additional risks, it must apply a higher risk weight to the position value.
VIII. Positions from unsettled transactions (Art. 118 para. 1 lit. e CAO)
[LE§82] Positions from unsettled transactions are to be measured in accordance with the provisions for the banking book. The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the underlying assets. [LE§83] If the bank cannot determine the underlying counterparties, it must treat the structure as a single counterparty. The position value is determined in accordance with the provisions for the banking book.
IX. Risk-mitigating measures (Art. 119 CAO)
A. General principles
[LE§83] Risk-mitigating measures are to be taken into account when calculating the position value. The bank must demonstrate that the risk-mitigating measures are effective and enforceable. [LE§84] The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the risk-mitigating measures. B. Treatment of maturity mismatches [LE§85] Maturity mismatches are to be taken into account when calculating the position value. The bank must apply a haircut to the position value to reflect the maturity mismatch.
C. Reduction of position values
[LE§86] The position value may be reduced if the bank has taken effective risk-mitigating measures. The reduction must be proportional to the effectiveness of the risk-mitigating measures. D. Recording positions towards risk mitigants [LE§87] Positions towards risk mitigants are to be recorded in accordance with the provisions for the banking book. The bank must take into account the risk weights applicable to the risk mitigants. E. Temporary exceedances of the limit due to recorded collateral [LE§88] Temporary exceedances of the limit due to recorded collateral are permitted. The bank must demonstrate that the collateral is effective and enforceable.
13/17
X. Simplifications for category 4 and 5 banks (Art. 112 para. 1 CAO)
A. Short-term interbank positions
[LE§89] Short-term interbank positions may be treated as a single counterparty if they are due within 24 hours. B. Hidden reserves [LE§90] Hidden reserves may be taken into account when calculating the position value. The bank must demonstrate that the hidden reserves are effective and enforceable.
C. Residential property financing
[LE§91] Residential property financing may be treated as a single counterparty if the loan-to-value ratio is less than 80%. D. Recording of collateral under the comprehensive approach [LE§92] Collateral may be recorded under the comprehensive approach if the bank has taken effective risk-mitigating measures. The reduction must be proportional to the effectiveness of the risk-mitigating measures.
XI. Transitional provision
[LE§93] The provisions of this circular apply to positions existing on the date of entry into force. Banks must comply with the provisions of this circular within one year of the date of entry into force.
14/17
[LE§94] Banks must report their positions to FINMA in accordance with the provisions of this circular. [LE§95] FINMA may grant exemptions from the provisions of this circular if the bank demonstrates that compliance would be disproportionate. [LE§96] FINMA may amend the provisions of this circular if necessary to ensure the stability of the financial system.
