Capital Components and Regulatory Adjustments

• Extracts CET1, Additional Tier 1, and Tier 2 capital components from eligible instruments and applies required regulatory deductions.
• Manages phase-in schedules, grandfathering rules, and jurisdiction-specific adjustments under US, EU, and Basel III frameworks.
• Ensures compliance with capital instrument eligibility criteria and buffers impact for board-level planning and distribution decisions.

Credit, Market, and Operational Risk RWA

• Calculates credit risk RWA using standardized or internal ratings-based approaches, incorporating exposure classes, PD/LGD/EAD parameters, securitizations, and counterparty credit risk.
• Computes market risk RWA via standardized sensitivities or internal models, including VaR, stressed VaR, incremental risk charge, and comprehensive risk measures.
• Assesses operational risk under standardized measurement or advanced approaches, integrating historical loss data and business indicator components.
• Adjusts for model limitations, floors, and supervisory add-ons to maintain conservative, defensible capital calculations.

Capital Ratios, Buffers, and Distribution Planning

• Calculates CET1, Tier 1, Total Capital, and leverage ratios with precision, comparing results against minimum regulatory thresholds.
• Incorporates capital conservation buffers, countercyclical buffers, and G-SIB surcharges for comprehensive capital planning.
• Determines maximum payout ratios and automates restrictions when combined buffer requirements are breached, supporting responsible dividend and share repurchase strategies.

Forward-Looking Capital Planning

• Projects capital ratios under baseline and stress scenarios across multiple quarters to anticipate potential shortfalls.
• Integrates planned capital actions such as issuance, redemption, or portfolio adjustments to optimize regulatory and economic capital.

• Ensures data integrity, reconciles exposures to the general ledger, and validates internal models for supervisory review.
• Maintains full audit trails for capital calculations, regulatory adjustments, buffer compliance, and distribution restrictions.

Performance and Risk Governance

• Delivers precise, defensible calculations under multiple regulatory approaches and jurisdictions.
• Validates capital ratios, RWA computations, and buffer compliance against regulatory minimums.
• Flags data quality issues, model limitations, and supervisory correspondence requirements for proactive remediation.
