BIPRU 8.3.2RRP
Further to BIPRU 8.3.1 R, a firm that is a member of a non-UK sub-group5 must at all times ensure that the consolidated capital resources of that non-UK sub-group5 are equal to or exceed its consolidated capital resources requirement.
BIPRU 8.3.4GRP
The sub-group identified in BIPRU 8.3.1 R is called a non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.3.6GRP
The remainder of this section sets out a process for identifying a non-UK sub-group5 in straightforward cases.
BIPRU 8.3.7GRP
A firm will not be a member of a non-UK sub-group5 unless it is1 also a member of a UK consolidation group. So the first step is to identify each undertaking in the firm'sUK consolidation group that satisfies the following conditions:(1) it isa CAD investment firm,4financial institution or asset management company whose head office is outside the UK5 (a third country investment services undertaking4);44(2) one of the following applies:(a) it is a subsidiary undertaking of a BIPRU
BIPRU 8.3.8GRP
The sub-group of the BIPRU firm identified in BIPRU 8.3.7G (2)(a) or BIPRU 8.3.7G (2)(b) is a potential non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.3.9GRP
If more than one BIPRU firm is a direct or indirect parent undertaking in accordance with BIPRU 8.3.7G (2)(a) then the sub-groups of each of 1them are all potential non-UK sub-groups5.4
BIPRU 8.3.10GRP
Similarly if there is more than one BIPRU firm that holds a participation in the third country investment services undertaking4 in accordance with BIPRU 8.3.7G (2)(b) then the sub-group of each such BIPRU firm is a potential non-UK sub-group5.4
BIPRU 8.3.12GRP
The firm should then identify each undertaking in the firm'sUK consolidation group that satisfies the following conditions:(1) it is a CAD investment firm,4financial institution or asset management company whose head office is outside the UK5 (a third country investment services undertaking);4(2) one of the following applies:(a) it is a subsidiary undertaking of a financial holding company in that UK consolidation group; or(b) a financial holding company in that UK consolidation
BIPRU 8.3.13GRP
The sub-group of the financial holding company identified in BIPRU 8.3.12G (2)(a) or BIPRU 8.3.12G (2)(b) is a potential non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.3.14GRP
The financial holding company identified in BIPRU 8.3.12 G may be a parent financial holding company in the UK5.4
BIPRU 8.3.15GRP
If more than one financial holding company is a direct or indirect parent undertaking in accordance with BIPRU 8.3.12G (2)(a) then the sub-groups of each of 1them are all potential non-UK sub-groups5.
BIPRU 8.3.16GRP
Similarly if there is more than one financial holding company that holds a participation in the third country investment services undertaking4 in accordance with BIPRU 8.3.12G (2)(b) then the sub-group of each such financial holding company is a potential non-UK sub-group5.4
BIPRU 8.3.17GRP
The firm should apply the process in BIPRU 8.3.12 G to a third country investment services undertaking4 even though it may be also be part of a potential non-UK sub-group5 under BIPRU 8.3.7 G.4
BIPRU 8.3.18GRP
Having identified potential non-UK sub-groups5 for each third country investment services undertaking4 in its UK consolidation group the firm should then eliminate overlapping potential non-UK sub-groups5 in the following way. If:4(1) one potential non-UK sub-group5 is 1contained within a wider potential non-EEA sub-group5; and(2) the third country investment services undertaking4 in the two potential non-UK sub-groups5 are the same;4then the smaller potential non-UK sub-group5
BIPRU 8.3.19GRP
If there is a chain of three or more potential non-UK sub-groups5, each with the same third country investment services undertaking,4 the elimination process may remove all but the highest.44
BIPRU 8.3.20GRP
Each remaining potential non-UK sub-group is a non-UK sub-group5, even though it may be part of a wider non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.3.22GRP
If a UK consolidation group is headed by a parent financial holding company in the UK5 the result of the elimination process may be that a firm'sUK consolidation group contains only one non-UK sub-group5 and that the non-UK sub-group5 is the same as the UK consolidation group. In theory that means that there are two sets of consolidation requirements, one in relation to the UK consolidation group and one in relation to the non-UK sub-group5. However as the UK consolidation group
BIPRU 8.3.23GRP
Even where the requirements for a non-UK sub-group5 are absorbed into those for the UK consolidation group a firm should still make clear in its regulatory reporting that the consolidation figures relate to a UK consolidation group and a non-UK sub-group5 and that they both contain the same members.
BIPRU 8.3.24GRP
[deleted]54444
BIPRU 8.6.1RRP
A firm must calculate the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or its non-UK sub-group5 by applying GENPRU 2.2 (Capital resources) to its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 on an accounting consolidation basis, treating the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as a single undertaking. The firm must adjust GENPRU 2.2 in accordance with this section for this purpose.
BIPRU 8.6.1ARRP
3This section applies to a firm if another member of its group intends to issue a capital instrument on or after 1 March 2012 for inclusion in the firm'scapital resources or consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.6.1BRRP
3A firm must notify the appropriate regulator in writing of the intention of another member of its group which is not a firm to issue a capital instrument which the firm intends to include within its capital resources or the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as soon as it becomes aware of the intention of the groupundertaking to issue the capital instrument. When giving notice, a firm must:(1) provide details of the amount of capital
BIPRU 8.6.1DRRP
3If a groupundertaking proposes to establish a debt securities program for the issue of capital instruments which the firm intends to include within its capital resources or the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5, it must:(1) notify the appropriate regulator of the establishment of the program; and(2) provide the information required by BIPRU 8.6.1BR (1) to (4); as soon as it becomes aware of the proposed establishment. The appropriate
BIPRU 8.6.1ERRP
3The capital instruments to which BIPRU 8.6.1B R does not apply are:(1) ordinary shares issued by a groupundertaking which:(a) are the most deeply subordinated capital instrument issued by that groupundertaking;(b) meet the criteria set out in GENPRU 2.2.83R (2) and GENPRU 2.2.83R (3) and GENPRU 2.2.83A R; and(c) are the same as ordinary shares previously issued by that groupundertaking;(2) debt instruments issued from a debt securities program established by a groupundertaking,
BIPRU 8.6.1FRRP
3A firm must notify the appropriate regulator in writing, no later than the date of issue, of the intention of a groupundertaking to issue a capital instrument listed in BIPRU 8.6.1E R which the firm intends to include within its capital resources or the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5. When giving notice a firm must:(1) provide the information set out at BIPRU 8.6.1BR (1) to (3); and(2) confirm that the terms of the capital instrument
BIPRU 8.6.2RRP
The capital resources gearing rules apply for the purposes of calculating consolidated capital resources. They apply to the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 on an accounting consolidation basis, treating the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as a single undertaking.
BIPRU 8.6.3GRP
As the various components of capital differ in the degree of protection that they offer, the capital resources gearing rules as applied on a consolidated basis place restrictions on the extent to which certain types of capital are eligible for inclusion in a UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group’s5consolidated capital resources. GENPRU 2.2.25 R (Limits on the use of different forms of capital: Use of higher tier capital in lower tiers) also applies.
BIPRU 8.6.8RRP
A firm must calculate the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 using the calculation of capital resources in GENPRU 2 Annex 4 (Capital resources table for a BIPRU firm deducting material holdings) or GENPRU 2 Annex 5 (Capital resources table for a BIPRU firm deducting illiquid assets).4444
BIPRU 8.6.10RRP
(1) This rule sets out how to determine whether minority interests in an undertaking in a UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 may be included in tier one capital, tier two capital or tier three capital for the purpose of calculating consolidated capital resources (each referred to as a "tier" of capital in this rule).(2) A firm must identify the item of capital of the undertaking in question that gives rise to that minority interest.(3) A firm must include the minority
BIPRU 8.6.12RRP
Consolidated indirectly issued capital means any capital instrument issued by a member of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 where:(1) some or all of the following conditions are satisfied:(a) that capital is issued to an SPV; or(b) that capital is issued by an SPV; or(c) the subscription for the capital issued by the member of the group in question is funded directly or indirectly by an SPV; and(2) any of the SPVs referred to in (1) is a member of the UK consolidation
BIPRU 8.6.13RRP
A firm may only include consolidated indirectly issued capital in the consolidated capital resources of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 if:(1) it is issued by an SPV that is a member of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 to persons who are not members of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5; and(2) the conditions in BIPRU 8.6.16 R to BIPRU 8.6.18 R are satisfied.
BIPRU 8.6.14RRP
Consolidated indirectly issued capital that is eligible for inclusion in the consolidated capital resources of a UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 may only be included as a minority interest created by the capital instrument issued by the SPV referred to in BIPRU 8.6.13 R. If it is eligible, it is innovative tier one capital.
BIPRU 8.6.15RRP
For the purposes of this section, an undertaking is an SPV if the main activity of the SPV is to raise funds for undertakings in:(1) (in the case of a UK consolidation group) that UK consolidation group; or(2) (in the case of a non-UK sub-group5) that non-UK sub-group5 or any UK consolidation group of which it forms part.
BIPRU 8.6.16RRP
The SPV referred to in BIPRU 8.6.13 R must satisfy the conditions in GENPRU 2.2.127 R (Conditions that an SPV has to satisfy if indirectly issued capital is to be included in capital resources on a solo basis) as modified by the following:(1) references in GENPRU 2.2.127R (1) to being controlled by the firm are to being controlled by a member of the firm'sUK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as the case may be; and(2) references to the firm'sgroup are to the firm'sUK consolidation
BIPRU 8.6.18RRP
The SPV referred to in BIPRU 8.6.13 R must invest the funds raised from the issue of capital by the SPV by subscribing for capital resources issued by an undertaking that is a member of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5. Those capital resources must satisfy the following conditions:(1) those capital resources must at least comply with the requirements for lower tier two capital; and(2) the first call date or fixed maturity date (if any) of those capital resources
BIPRU 8.7.1GRP
The calculation of the consolidated capital resources requirement of a firm's UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 involves taking the individual components that make up the capital resources requirement on a solo basis and applying them on a consolidated basis. Those components are the capital charge for credit risk (the credit risk capital requirement), the capital charge for market risk (the market risk capital requirement)4 and the fixed overheads requirement.
BIPRU 8.7.5GRP
In general a firm should calculate each consolidated requirement component using the appropriate regulator'srules, even in the case of group members who are subject to the capital requirements of an overseas regulator. However this section sets out certain circumstances in which a firm may use the capital requirements of an overseas regulator.
BIPRU 8.7.8GRP
A firm has a choice about how it should apply a risk capital requirement to the group. It may do this by treating the whole of the group as a single entity and applying the risk capital requirement to the group (a line by line approach), calculating a separate risk capital requirement for each group member (an aggregation approach) or a mixture of the two.
BIPRU 8.7.10RRP
A firm must calculate the consolidated capital resources requirement of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as the higher of the following consolidated requirements components:33(1) the sum of the consolidated credit risk requirement and the consolidated market risk requirement; and3(2) the consolidated fixed overheads requirement. 3
BIPRU 8.7.11RRP
A firm must calculate a consolidated requirement component by applying the risk capital requirement applicable to that consolidated requirement component to the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 in accordance with BIPRU 8.7.13 R. The5risk capital requirement must be calculated in accordance with the appropriate regulator'srules. The risk capital requirement applicable to a consolidated requirement component is the one specified in the second column of the table in BIPRU
BIPRU 8.7.13RRP
(1) A firm must calculate a consolidated requirement component by using one of the methods in this rule.(2) Under the first method a firm must:(a) apply the risk capital requirement set out in BIPRU 8.7.12 R to each undertaking in the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5; and(b) add the risk capital requirements together.(3) Under the second method a firm must:(a) treat the whole UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as a single undertaking; and(b) apply the risk
BIPRU 8.7.16RRP
A firm must notify the appropriate regulator which method under BIPRU 8.7.13 R it applies for which consolidated requirement component and to which parts of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 it is applying an aggregation approach and to which parts it is applying an accounting consolidation approach.
BIPRU 8.7.20RRP
A firm may use a combination of the CCR standardised method, the CCR mark to market method and the CCR internal model method on a permanent basis with respect to the firm's UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 for the purposes of calculating the consolidated credit risk requirement. In particular, where the firm is permitted to apply the CCR internal model method on a consolidated basis with respect to its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5, it may combine the
BIPRU 8.7.21RRP
BIPRU 9.4.1 R (Minimum requirements for recognition of significant credit risk transfer) as applied on a consolidated basis requires the transfer to be to a person outside the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.7.22RRP
A firm must not use both the financial collateral simple method and the financial collateral comprehensive method with respect to its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5.
BIPRU 8.7.23RRP
(1) A firm may only treat an exposure as exempt under BIPRU 3.2.25 R (Zero risk-weighting for intra-group exposures) as applied on a consolidated basis if the member of the UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 that has the exposure:(a) is a BIPRU firm and that exposure is exempt under BIPRU 3.2.25 R as it applies to that BIPRU firm on a solo basis; or(b) meets the conditions in BIPRU 3.2.25 R (1)(d) (Condition relating to establishment in the UK) and that exposure would
BIPRU 8.7.24RRP
For the purposes of calculating the consolidated market risk requirement of a UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5, a firm must apply BIPRU 1.2.3 R (Definition of the trading book) and BIPRU 1.2.17 R (Size thresholds for the purposes of the definition of the trading book) to the whole UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 as if the group were a single undertaking.
BIPRU 8.7.25RRP
A firm may not apply the second method in BIPRU 8.7.13R (3) (accounting consolidation for the whole group) or apply accounting consolidation to parts of its UK consolidation group or non-UK sub-group5 under method three as described in BIPRU 8.7.13R (4)(a) for the purposes of the calculation of the consolidated market risk requirement unless the group or sub-group and the undertakings in that group or sub-group satisfy the conditions in this rule. Instead the firm must use the

SYSC 12.1.5GRP
For the purpose of this section, a group is defined in the Glossary, and includes the whole of a firm's group, including financial and non-financial undertakings. It also covers undertakings with other links to group members if their omission from the scope of group risk systems and controls would be misleading. The scope of the group systems and controls requirements may therefore differ from the scope of the quantitative requirements for groups.
SYSC 12.1.6GRP
The purpose of this chapter is to set out how the systems and control requirements imposed by SYSC (Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls) apply where a firm is part of a group. If a firm is a member of a group, it should be able to assess the potential impact of risks arising from other parts of its group as well as from its own activities.
SYSC 12.1.8RRP
A firm must:(1) have adequate, sound and appropriate risk management processes and internal control mechanisms for the purpose of assessing and managing its own exposure to group risk, including sound administrative and accounting procedures; and(2) ensure that its group has adequate, sound and appropriate risk management processes and internal control mechanisms at the level of the group, including sound administrative and accounting procedures.
SYSC 12.1.9GRP
For the purposes of SYSC 12.1.8 R, the question of whether the risk management processes and internal control mechanisms are adequate, sound and appropriate should be judged in the light of the nature, scale and complexity of the group's business and of the risks that the group bears. 18141212144
SYSC 12.1.10RRP
The internal control mechanisms referred to in SYSC 12.1.8 R must include:(1) mechanisms that are adequate for the purpose of producing any data and information which would be relevant for the purpose of monitoring compliance with any prudential requirements (including any reporting requirements and any requirements relating to capital adequacy, solvency, systems and controls and large exposures):(a) to which the firm is subject with respect to its membership of a group; or(b)
SYSC 12.1.13RRP
If this rule applies under SYSC 12.1.14 R to a firm, the firm must:(1) comply with SYSC 12.1.8R (2) in relation to any UK consolidation group18of which it is a member, as well as in relation to its group; and17(2) ensure that the risk management processes and internal control mechanisms at the level of any consolidation group18of which it is a member comply with the obligations set out in the following provisions on a consolidated (or sub-consolidated) basis:17(a) SYSC 4.1.1

SYSC 12.1.18GRP
Assessment of the adequacy of a group's systems and controls required by this section will form part of the FCA’s14 risk management process.
SYSC 12.1.19GRP
The nature and extent of the systems and controls necessary under SYSC 12.1.8R (1) to address group risk will vary according to the materiality of those risks to the firm and the position of the firm within the group.
SYSC 12.1.20GRP
In some cases the management of the systems and controls used to address the risks described in SYSC 12.1.8R (1) may be organised on a group-wide basis. If the firm is not carrying out those functions itself, it should delegate them to the group members that are carrying them out. However, this does not relieve the firm of responsibility for complying with its obligations under SYSC 12.1.8R (1). A firm cannot absolve itself of such a responsibility by claiming that any breach
SYSC 12.1.21GRP
SYSC 12.1.8R (1) deals with the systems and controls that a firm should have in respect of the exposure it has to the rest of the group. On the other hand, the purpose of SYSC 12.1.8R (2) and the rules in this section that amplify it is to require groups to have adequate systems and controls. However a group is not a single legal entity on which obligations can be imposed. Therefore the obligations have to be placed on individual firms. The purpose of imposing the obligations
BIPRU 12.8.2GRP
However, the appropriate regulator recognises that there may be circumstances in which it would be appropriate for a firm to rely on liquidity resources which can be made available to it by other members of its group2. Where the appropriate regulator is satisfied that the statutory tests in section 138A (Modification or waiver of rules) of the Act are met, the appropriate regulator will consider modifying the overall liquidity adequacy rule to permit reliance on liquidity support
BIPRU 12.8.7GRP
The appropriate regulator recognises that a firm may be part of a wider group which manages its liquidity on a group-wide basis. A firm which considers that the statutory tests in section 138A of the Act are met may apply for an intra-group liquidity modification permitting it to rely on liquidity support from elsewhere in its group. Until a firm has such a modification it will need to meet the overall liquidity adequacy rule from its own liquidity resources. The effect of an

The appropriate regulator may also consider an application for an intra-group liquidity modification where a firm wishes to rely on liquidity resources from an entity in its group other than an overseasparent undertaking. The appropriate regulator recognises that a firm incorporated in the United Kingdom and to which BIPRU 12 applies may wish to rely on liquidity support from another such firm. In practice, the appropriate regulator anticipates that a firm applying for an intra-group
BIPRU 12.8.11GRP
In each application for an intra-group liquidity modification, the appropriate regulator will consider the extent to which it is appropriate to modify the overall liquidity adequacy rule to allow reliance by an applicant firm on liquidity resources elsewhere in a firm'sgroup. However, it is unlikely that the appropriate regulator would consider the conditions in section 138A of the Act to be met in circumstances in which the overall liquidity adequacy rule was modified to allow
BIPRU 12.8.13GRP
In modifying the overall liquidity adequacy rule by means of an intra-group liquidity modification, the appropriate regulator may also modify the stress testing and contingency funding planrules in BIPRU 12.4 such that an applicant firm may achieve compliance with those rules by its parent undertaking conducting group-wide stress testing and preparing a group-wide contingency funding plan which gives adequate recognition to the position of the applicant firm.
BIPRU 12.8.16GRP
It will not always be the case that an applicant firm wishes to rely on a parent undertaking, or other group entity, that is itself subject to a regime of liquidity regulation, whether or not equivalent to the appropriate regulator's. In assessing a firm's application for an intra-group liquidity modification, the appropriate regulator will always have regard to the regulatory framework to which the entity on which it is proposed to rely for liquidity support is subject. Other
BIPRU 12.8.18GRP
In relation to an applicant firm wishing to rely on liquidity support from a parent undertaking constituted under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, the appropriate regulator will, before granting an intra-group liquidity modification, ordinarily expect to have reached agreement with that parent undertaking that:(1) it will make available liquidity resources at all times to that applicant firm if needed;(2) it will enter into an undertaking in a suitable
BIPRU 12.8.19GRP
The appropriate regulator will wish to ensure that it has adequate data at the time of consideration of the intra-group liquidity modification application and, if the application is granted, on a continuing basis thereafter, about the liquidity position of any group entity on which the applicant firm proposes to rely for liquidity purposes. It is therefore likely that an applicant firm will be asked to provide as part of its application relevant liquidity data items populated
BIPRU 12.8.20GRP
In addition, the appropriate regulator will also wish to understand in relation to any group entity on which an applicant firm proposes to rely for liquidity support the legal structure of the group and the extent to which that structure, or any relevant legal principles, may restrict the provision of timely liquidity support in appropriate amounts to the applicant firm when required.
