MIPRU 4.2B Securitisation

Application

MIPRU 4.2B.1R

This section applies to a firm to which MIPRU 4.2.23 R applies.

Purpose

MIPRU 4.2B.2G

The purpose of MIPRU 4.2B is to set out:

  1. (1)

    how a firm that is required to calculate the credit risk capital requirement under MIPRU 4.2.23 R should calculate the risk weighted exposure amounts for securitisation positions; and

  2. (2)

    the requirements that investors, originators and sponsors of securitisations on the balance sheet will have to meet (BIPRU 9.3.1A R and BIPRU 9.3.15 R to BIPRU 9.3.20 R).

Calculation of risk weighted exposure amount for securitisation positions

MIPRU 4.2B.3R

To calculate the risk weighted exposure amount for securitisation positions, a firm must comply with BIPRU 9 in the same way that that section applies to a BIPRU firm, except to the extent that a provision of BIPRU 9 is modified or excluded in the table in MIPRU 4.2B.4 R.

MIPRU 4.2B.4R

This table belongs to MIPRU 4.2B.3 R

MIPRU 4.2B.5G

Subject to BIPRU 9.3.6 G, for the purposes of BIPRU 9.4.1 R and BIPRU 9.5.1 R the transfer of credit risk to third parties should only be considered significant if the proportion of risk transferred is broadly commensurate with, or exceeds, the proportion by which risk weighted exposure amounts are reduced.

MIPRU 4.2B.6G

For measuring the reduction in risk and risk weighted exposure amounts, an originator should assess the securitisation positions it holds against the underlying exposures as if they had never been securitised.

MIPRU 4.2B.7G

An originator should use an appropriate method, consistent with its own internal processes, to assess whether the risk transferred is significant.

MIPRU 4.2B.8G

If the result of:

  1. (1)

    applying a risk weight of 1250% to all positions that an originator holds in the securitisation; or

  2. (2)

    deducting all those positions from capital resources;

is a reduction in the originator's capital requirement compared to the capital requirements that would apply had it not transferred the securitised exposures, then the originator may treat the risk transferred as significant for the purposes of BIPRU 9.4.1 R and BIPRU 9.5.1 R.
