MIPRU 4.2BA.2RRP
A firm must calculate the risk weighted exposure amounts for the securitisation positions it holds under MIPRU 4.2BA.31 R to MIPRU 4.2BA.53 R.
MIPRU 4.2BA.3GRP
Where a firm has transferred significant credit risk associated with securitised exposures which it has originated under MIPRU 4.2BA.5 R (High-level principles) and has complied with other applicable requirements in this section, it may exclude those securitised exposures from the calculation of its risk weighted exposure amount and expected loss amounts.
MIPRU 4.2BA.11RRP
Exposure quality: a firm must consider the impact that securitisation has on the quality of the remaining exposures it holds and the capital planning implications.
MIPRU 4.2BA.13GRP
Stress testing of securitisation activities should take into account both existing securitisations and pipeline transactions, as there is a risk that the latter would not be completed in a stressed market scenario.
MIPRU 4.2BA.16RRP
Legal opinions: legal opinions obtained in the context of securitisation transactions must be reviewed by an independent legal adviser periodically, or when there is a change in law (including case law) or any applicable rules that may affect the opinion.
MIPRU 4.2BA.17RRP
The transferee must be a securitisation special purpose entity.
MIPRU 4.2BA.20GRP
For the purposes of MIPRU 4.2BA.18 R, the originator's retention of servicing rights or obligations in respect of the exposures does not, of itself, constitute indirect control of the exposures.
MIPRU 4.2BA.21RRP
A clean-up call option must satisfy all of the following conditions:(1) it must be exercisable at the discretion of the firm;(2) it must only be exercised when 10% or less of the original value of the exposures securitised remains unamortised; (3) it must not be structured so that allocating losses to credit enhancement positions or other positions held by investors can be avoided; and (4) it must not otherwise be structured to provide credit enhancement.
MIPRU 4.2BA.22RRP
The credit enhancement documentation must not contain clauses that require securitisation positions to be improved by the firm in response to a deterioration in the credit quality of the securitised exposures, including: (1) altering the credit quality of the underlying exposures; or(2) increasing the yield payable to investors in the securitisation positions.
MIPRU 4.2BA.23RRP
The securitisation documentation must make clear, where applicable, that any repurchase of securitised exposures or securitisation positions by the firm beyond its contractual obligations is not mandatory and may only be made at fair market value.
MIPRU 4.2BA.25RRP
If a firm repurchases securitised exposures or securitisation positions, it must:(1) be able to demonstrate that it has adequately considered the following:(a) the price of the repurchase;(b) the firm's capital and liquidity position before and after repurchase;(c) the performance of the securitised exposures; and(d) the performance of the securitisation positions;(2) have concluded, taking into account the factors in (1) and any other relevant information, that the repurchase
MIPRU 4.2BA.26RRP
A firm must consider at least the following situations to determine whether there may be a breach of the prohibition against implied future support in MIPRU 4.2BA.5R (6):(1) support given under a contractual obligation;(2) support which is not provided for under the contractual documentation for the securitisation; and(3) support given under the contractual documentation for the securitisation which the firm is entitled, but not obliged, to give.
MIPRU 4.2BA.27RRP
(1) The support described in MIPRU 4.2BA.26R (1) is permitted.(2) The support described in MIPRU 4.2BA.26R (2) is not permitted.(3) The support described in MIPRU 4.2BA.26R (3) is permitted if the following conditions are met: (a) contractual and marketing documents of the securitisation expressly envisage and allow for the possibility of the firm providing such support;(b) the nature of any support that the firm may give is precisely described in the contractual and marketing
MIPRU 4.2BA.28GRP
A waiver of the right to future margin income will not breach the prohibition against implied future support in MIPRU 4.2BA.5R (6) provided that:(1) the degree of support that can be given can be defined precisely by reference to the contractual documentation for the securitisation, even if the amount of support may not be ascertainable in absolute monetary terms; and(2) no adjustment to the firm'scapital resources or capital resources requirement is required, as a firm should
MIPRU 4.2BA.29GRP
If a firm is found to have provided support to a securitisation this implies that the firm may be likely to provide future support to its securitisations, thus failing to achieve a significant transfer of risk. The FCA will consider taking appropriate measures to reflect this increased expectation after any instance of support is found.
MIPRU 4.2BA.30RRP
If a firm is found to have provided support to a securitisation it will be required to: (1) hold capital resources against all of the securitised exposures associated with the securitisation transaction as if they had not been securitised; and(2) disclose publicly in a timely fashion: (a) where it has provided such support; and(b) the regulatory capital impact of doing so.
MIPRU 4.2BA.32RRP
Where there is an exposure to different tranches in a securitisation, the exposure to each tranche must be considered as a separate securitisation position.
MIPRU 4.2BA.33RRP
The providers of credit protection to securitisation positions must be treated as holding positions in the securitisation.
MIPRU 4.2BA.34RRP
Securitisation positions include exposures to a securitisation arising from interest rate or currency derivative contracts.
MIPRU 4.2BA.35RRP
The ECAI rating of a securitisation position must, at a minimum, comply with the following:(1) there must be no mismatch between the types of payments reflected in the credit assessment and the types of payment to which the firm is entitled under the contract giving rise to the securitisation position in question;(2) the rating must be publicly available to the market; and(3) the rating must not be based, or partly based, on support provided by the firm itself.
MIPRU 4.2BA.37GRP
MIPRU 4.2BA.35R (3) refers, for example, to situations where a firm holds securitisation positions which receive a lower risk weight by virtue of credit protection provided by the firm itself acting in a different capacity in the securitisation transaction.
MIPRU 4.2BA.38RRP
The assessment of whether a firm is providing unfunded support to its securitisation positions must take into account the economic substance of that support in the context of the overall transaction and any circumstances in which the firm could become exposed to a higher credit risk in the absence of that support. In this case the firm must consider the relevant position as if it were not rated and must apply the relevant treatment for unrated positions.
MIPRU 4.2BA.39RRP
Where a rated position has credit assessments from two nominated ECAIs, the firm must use the less favourable credit assessment.
MIPRU 4.2BA.40RRP
Where a rated position has more than two nominated ECAI credit assessments, the two most favourable credit assessments must be used. If the two most favourable credit assessments are different, the less favourable of the two must be used.
MIPRU 4.2BA.41RRP
Where eligible credit protection under MIPRU 4.2C (Credit risk mitigation) is provided directly to the securitisation special purpose entity and that protection is reflected in the credit assessment of a position by a nominated ECAI, the risk weight associated with that credit assessment may be used. Where the credit protection is not provided to the securitisation special purpose entity but provided directly to a securitisation position, the credit assessment must not be re
MIPRU 4.2BA.42RRP
A firm must attribute to an unrated position an inferred rating equivalent to the rating of those rated positions (the reference positions) which are the most senior positions and are, in all respects, subordinate to the unrated securitisation position in question when the following minimum operational requirements are satisfied:(1) the reference positions must be subordinate in all respects to the unrated securitisation position;(2) the maturity of the reference positions must
MIPRU 4.2BA.43RRP
Where publicly available credit assessments for securitisation positions are available from eligible ECAIs, a firm must:(1) nominate one or more of the eligible ECAIs;(2) use the credit assessments of nominated ECAIs in the calculation of its risk weightedexposure amounts under this section; and(3) apply those credit assessments consistently in respect of its rated positions.

MIPRU 4.2BA.46RRP
When calculating its risk weighted exposure amount for securitised positions, subject to satisfying the conditions in MIPRU 4.2BA.47 R, a firm may apply the weighted-average risk weight that would be applied to the securitised exposures multiplied by a concentration ratio.
MIPRU 4.2BA.47RRP
The use of the concentration ratio approach for unrated securitisation positions is only permitted where all the following conditions are met:(1) the concentration ratio is equal to the sum of the nominal amounts of all the tranches divided by the sum of the nominal amounts of the tranches junior to, or equal to, the tranche in which the position is held, including that tranche itself;(2) where the resulting risk weight for a securitisation position is lower than any risk weight
MIPRU 4.2BA.48GRP
It is sufficient for the purposes of MIPRU 4.2BA.47R (4) for the composition of the pool of securitised exposures to be reported to the firm at least daily through information service providers, secure websites or other appropriate sources.
MIPRU 4.2BA.49RRP
Where the firm is unable to determine the risk weights that would be applied to the securitised exposures, it must apply a risk weight of 1250%.
MIPRU 4.2BA.51RRP
(1) A conversion factor of 50% may be applied to the nominal amount of an unrated liquidity facility where all the conditions in MIPRU 4.2BA.52 R are met. (2) The risk weight to be applied is the highest risk weight that would be applied to any of the securitised exposures by a firm holding those exposures.
MIPRU 4.2BA.53RRP
A conversion factor of 0% may be applied to the nominal amount of an unrated liquidity facility where the following conditions are met: (1) the conditions for a conversion factor of 50% in MIPRU 4.2BA.52 R are met;(2) the liquidity facility is unconditionally cancellable; and(3) repayment of any drawings on the facility are senior to any other claims on the cashflows arising from the securitised exposures.
MIPRU 4.2BA.54RRP
A firm must ensure that investors have access to all materially relevant data determined as at the date of the securitisation and, where appropriate due to the nature of the securitisation, thereafter. These data must include:(1) the credit quality, performance, cashflows and supporting collateral of the securitisation exposures; and(2) information necessary to conduct comprehensive and well-informed stress tests on the cashflows and collateral values supporting the securitisation
BIPRU 9.13.1RRP
Where there is a securitisation of revolving exposures subject to an early amortisation provision, the originator must calculate an additional risk weighted exposure amount in accordance with this section in respect of the risk that the levels of credit risk to which it is exposed may increase following the operation of the early amortisation provision. Accordingly this section sets out how an originator must calculate a risk weighted exposure amount when it sells revolving exposures
BIPRU 9.13.3RRP
For securitisation structures where the securitised exposures comprise revolving exposures and non-revolving exposures, an originator must apply the treatment set out in this section to that portion of the underlying pool containing revolving exposures.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 18]
BIPRU 9.13.4RRP
For the purposes of this section, subject to BIPRU 9.13.6 R:(1) originators interest means the exposure value of that notional part of a pool of drawn amounts sold into a securitisation, the proportion of which in relation to the amount of the total pool sold into the structure determines the proportion of the cash-flows generated by principal and interest collections and other associated amounts which are not available to make payments to those having securitisation positions
BIPRU 9.13.5RRP
Subject to BIPRU 9.13.7 R, the exposure of the originator associated with its rights in respect of the originators interest must not be treated as a securitisation position but as a pro rata exposure to the securitised exposures as if they had not been securitised.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 20]
BIPRU 9.13.6RRP
(1) For firms using the IRB approach set out in BIPRU 4, this paragraph applies in place of BIPRU 9.13.4 R.(2) For the purposes of this section, originators interest means the sum of:(a) the exposure value of that notional part of a pool of drawn amounts sold into a securitisation, the proportion of which in relation to the amount of the total pool sold into the structure determines the proportion of the cash-flows generated by principal and interest collections and other associated
BIPRU 9.13.7RRP
For firms using the IRB approach set out in BIPRU 4, this paragraph applies in place of BIPRU 9.13.5 R. The exposure of the originator associated with its rights in respect of that part of the originators interest described in BIPRU 9.13.6 R (2)(a) must not be treated as a securitisation position but as a pro rata exposure to the securitised drawn amounts as if they had not been securitised in an amount equal to that described in BIPRU 9.13.6 R (2)(a). The originator must also
BIPRU 9.13.8RRP
Originators of the following types of securitisation are exempt from the capital requirement in BIPRU 9.13.1 R:(1) securitisations of revolving exposures whereby investors remain fully exposed to all future draws by borrowers so that the risk on the underlying facilities does not return to the originator even after an early amortisation event has occurred; and(2) securitisations where any early amortisation provision is solely triggered by events not related to the performance
BIPRU 9.13.9RRP
For an originator subject to the capital requirement in BIPRU 9.13.1 R the total of the risk weighted exposure amounts in respect of its positions in the investors interest (as defined in BIPRU 9.13.4 R or BIPRU 9.13.6 R) and the risk weighted exposure amounts calculated under BIPRU 9.13.1 R must be no greater than the greater of:(1) the risk weighted exposure amounts calculated in respect of its positions in the investors interest (as so defined); and(2) the risk weighted exposure
BIPRU 9.13.11RRP
The risk weighted exposure amount to be calculated in accordance with BIPRU 9.13.1 R must be determined by multiplying the amount of the investors interest (as defined in BIPRU 9.13.4 R or BIPRU 9.13.6 R) by the product of:(1) the appropriate conversion figure as indicated in BIPRU 9.13.16 R, BIPRU 9.13.19 R or BIPRU 9.13.20 R; and(2) the weighted average risk weight that would apply to the securitised exposures if the exposures had not been securitised.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part
BIPRU 9.13.12RRP
An early amortisation provision must be treated as controlled for the purposes of this section where the following conditions are met:(1) the originator has an appropriate capital/liquidity plan in place to ensure that it has sufficient capital and liquidity available in the event of an early amortisation;(2) throughout the duration of the transaction there is a pro rata sharing between the originators interest and the investors interest (as defined in BIPRU 9.13.4 R or BIPRU
BIPRU 9.13.13RRP
In the case of a securitisation meeting the following conditions:(1) it is subject to an early amortisation provision;(2) the securitisation is of retail exposures which are uncommitted and unconditionally cancellable without prior notice; and(3) the early amortisation is triggered by the excess spread level falling to a specified levela firm must, to calculate the appropriate conversion figure referred to in BIPRU 9.13.11 R, compare the three-month average excess spread level
BIPRU 9.13.14RRP
Where the securitisation does not require excess spread to be trapped, the trapping point is deemed to be 4.5 percentage points greater than the excess spread level at which an early amortisation is triggered.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 27]
BIPRU 9.13.15RRP
The conversion figure to be applied must be determined by the level of the actual three month average excess spread in accordance with BIPRU 9.13.16 R.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 28]

BIPRU 9.13.18GRP
In the case of a securitisation meeting the conditions in this paragraph, a firm may apply to the appropriate regulator for a waiver that would allow a treatment which approximates closely to that prescribed in BIPRU 9.13.13 R to BIPRU 9.13.17 R for determining the conversion figure indicated. If a firm wants such a waiver, it should satisfy the appropriate regulator that:(1) the securitisation is subject to an early amortisation provision of retail exposures;(2) those retail

Subject to BIPRU 9.11.6 RBIPRU 9.11.12 R, the risk weighted exposure amount of an unratedsecuritisation position must be calculated by applying a risk weight of 1250%.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 7]
BIPRU 9.11.5RRP
For an originator or sponsor, the risk weighted exposure amounts calculated in respect of its positions in a securitisation may be limited to the risk weighted exposure amounts which would be calculated for the securitised exposures had they not been securitised subject to the presumed application of a 150% risk weight to all past due items and items belonging to regulatory high risk categories (see BIPRU 3.4.104 R and BIPRU 3 Annex 3 R) amongst the securitised exposures.[Note:BCD

For all other tranches the maturity mismatch treatment prescribed in BIPRU 5.8 (Maturity mismatches) must be applied in accordance with the following formula:RW* is [RW(SP) x (t-t*)/(T-t*)] + [RW(Ass) x (T-t)/(T-t*)](2) The following apply for the purposes of the formula in (1):(a) RW* is risk weighted

An ECAI's credit assessment may be used to determine the risk weight of a securitisation position in accordance with BIPRU 9.9 only if the ECAI is an eligible ECAI.[Note:BCD Article 97(1)]
BIPRU 9.7.2RRP
(1) A firm must2 not use a credit assessment of an eligible ECAI to determine the risk weight of a securitisation position in accordance with BIPRU 9.9 unless it complies with the principles of credibility and transparency as elaborated in (2) to (6).222(2) There must be no mismatch between the types of payments reflected in the credit assessment and the types of payment to which the firm is entitled under the contract giving rise to the securitisation position in question.(3)
BIPRU 9.7.2AGRP
2The requirements in BIPRU 9.7.2R (5) and (6) apply to situations where a firm holds securitisation positions which receive a lower risk weight by virtue of unfunded credit protection provided by the firm itself acting in a different capacity in the securitisation transaction. The assessment of whether a firm is providing unfunded support to its securitisation positions should take into account the economic substance of that support in the context of the overall transaction and

2Where BIPRU 9.7.2R (5) applies to securitisation positions in an ABCP programme, the firm may be granted a waiver which allows it to use the risk weight assigned to a liquidity facility in order to calculate the risk weighted exposure amount for the positions in the ABCP programme, provided that the liquidity facility ranks pari passu with the positions in the ABCP programme so that they form overlapping positions and 100% of the commercial paper issued by the ABCP programme
PERG 4.16.1GRP
It is common practice in the mortgage industry for the original lender which makes the loan to pass on ownership of the loan to a third party through securitisation. Securitisation transactions take different forms, but the essence is that the original lender sells the beneficial interest (with or without the legal interest) in a mortgage portfolio to a special purpose vehicle ('SPV'), which raises finance to pay for the portfolio by selling its own securities. The original lender
PERG 4.16.2GRP
The government's intention behind the regulatory regime for mortgages was "to ensure that, at any one time, it would be possible for each mortgage to be linked to one and only one authorised firm (with mortgage permission) to have the ongoing regulatory responsibility towards consumers" (HM Treasury, Regulating Mortgages, February 2002, paragraph 47). In other words, it should be possible to arrange a securitisation transaction so that the SPV and other third parties do not carry
PERG 4.16.4GRP
If an unauthorised SPV arranges for an authorised person with permission to administer a regulated mortgage contract to administer its regulated mortgage contracts, it can avoid carrying on the regulated activities of:(1) administering a regulated mortgage contract, because of the exclusion in article 62 of the Regulated Activities Order (described in PERG 4.8.4 G);(2) arranging (bringing about) or making arrangements with a view to regulated mortgage contracts, because any arrangements
BIPRU 9.10.2RRP
In respect of a securitisation position in respect of which a 1250% risk weight is assigned, a firm may, as an alternative to including the position in its calculation of risk weighted exposure amounts, deduct from its capital resources the exposure value of the position. For these purposes, the calculation of the exposure value may reflect eligible funded protection in a manner consistent with BIPRU 9.14.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 points 35, 74 and 75(b)]
BIPRU 9.10.4RRP
The risk weighted exposure amount of a securitisation position to which a 1250% risk weight is assigned may be reduced by 12.5 times the amount of any value adjustments made by the firm in respect of the securitised exposures.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 72 (part)]
BIPRU 9.10.6RRP
The risk weighted exposure amount of a securitisation position may be reduced by 12.5 times the amount of any value adjustments made by the firm in respect of the position.[Note:BCD Annex IX Part 4 point 73]
BIPRU 12.5.44RRP
For the purpose of BIPRU 12.5.42R, a firm must in particular consider the impact on its cash flows of:(1) derivatives positions;(2) contingent liabilities;(3) commitments given; and(4) liquidity facilities to support securitisation programmes.
BIPRU 12.5.50GRP
In relation to liquidity facilities to support securitisation programmes, a firm should:(1) assess the extent of its contractual obligations to provide liquidity support to sponsored and third-party structured vehicles;(2) identify the circumstances in which support will, or is likely to, be called; and(3) assess the impact on that firm's cash flows of such support being called:(a) in normal financial conditions; and(b) under the liquidity stresses required by BIPRU 12.5.6R.
BIPRU 12.5.70GRP
A firm may also use its unsecured wholesale assets to generate liquidity, otherwise than by outright sale or repo. A firm may, for example, choose to generate funding from some of the assets included in its liquidity resources by using them in securitisation or covered bond programmes. Assets that are typically used to raise liquidity in this manner include residential mortgage loans; commercial mortgage and other loans; credit card and automobile receivables, which have been
BIPRU 12.5.71GRP
The assessment required by BIPRU 12.5.63R is particularly important for a firm which:(1) ordinarily does not raise funding from its non-marketable assets in this way; or(2) places proportionately greater reliance on securitisation programmes as compared to other funding strategies to generate liquidity.
BIPRU 12.5.72RRP
In complying with BIPRU 12.5.63R, a firm must in particular assess the non-marketable assets risk associated with asset securitisations, having regard to:(1) the existence of early amortisation triggers and the consequences of their operation; and(2) its financing of assets which are warehoused prior to their securitisation.
BIPRU 7.11.11RRP
Ifan nth-to-default4 derivative is externally rated and meets the conditions for a qualifying debt security, then the protection seller need only calculate one specific risk charge reflecting the rating of the derivative. The specific risk charge must be based on the securitisationPRAs in BIPRU 7.2 as applicable.44
BIPRU 7.11.62GRP
BIPRU 7.11.5 R requires a firm to recognise any premiums payable or receivable under the contract as notional zero-specific-risk securities. These positions are then entered into the general market risk framework. As premium payments paid under such contracts are contingent on no credit event occurring, a credit event could significantly change the general market risk capital requirement. A firm should consider, under the overall Pillar 2 rule, whether this risk means that the
BIPRU 7.11.63GRP
If a firm recognises profits on a non-accrual basis it should consider whether the capital requirements for its credit derivatives business adequately cover the risk that any recognised profit may not be achieved due to a credit event occurring. This includes positions for which the firm may have a perfect hedge in place.
