applies from: unchanged

The provision's heading changes from Standardised method to Basic approach, and its entire content is replaced: the earlier version set out a single formula-based portfolio own funds requirement for CVA risk with weights, maturities and index-hedge adjustments, while the later version instead directs an institution to choose between two formulae in new paragraphs 2 and 3 depending on whether eligible hedges under Article 386 are included, and states that the two approaches are not to be used in combination.

The later version introduces new defined terms and calculation elements, including a basic approach total figure combining hedged and unhedged components with fixed coefficients, risk weights mapped by sector and credit quality via new Table 1, and correlation factors for single-name hedges via new Table 2, none of which appear in the earlier text.

The earlier version's Table 1 assigning weights by credit quality step alone, and its provision on subtracting a counterparty's notional share from an index CDS, are absent from the later version's text shown.

Article 384
Standardised method
1. An institution which does not calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk for its counterparties in accordance with Article 383 shall calculate a portfolio own funds requirements for CVA risk for each counterparty in accordance with the following formula, taking into account CVA hedges that are eligible in accordance with Article 386:K2.33  h  i 0.5  wi  Mi  EADitotal  MihedgeBi  ind wind  Mind Bind2 i 0.75  wi2  Mi  EADitotal  MihedgeBi2
where:
h
the one-year risk horizon (in units of a year); h = 1;
wi
the weight applicable to counterparty i.
Counterparty i shall be mapped to one of the six weights wi based on an external credit assessment by a nominated ECAI, as set out in Table 1. For a counterparty for which a credit assessment by a nominated ECAI is not available:
(a) an institution using the approach in Title II, Chapter 3 shall map the internal rating of the counterparty to one of the external credit assessment;
(b) an institution using the approach in Title II, Chapter 2 shall assign wi=1,0 % to this counterparty. However, if an institution uses Article 128 to risk weight counterparty credit risk exposures to this counterparty, wi=3,0 % shall be assigned;
EADtotali
the total counterparty credit risk exposure value of counterparty i (summed across its netting sets) including the effect of collateral in accordance with the methods set out in Sections 3 to 6 of Chapter 6 of Title II as applicable to the calculation of the own funds requirements for counterparty credit risk for that counterparty.
For an institution not using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, the exposure shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1  e0.05  Mi0.05  Mi
Bi
the notional of purchased single name credit default swap hedges (summed if more than one position) referencing counterparty i and used to hedge CVA risk.
That notional amount shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1  e0.05  Mihedge0.05  Mihedge
Bind
is the full notional of one or more index credit default swap of purchased protection used to hedge CVA risk.
That notional amount shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1  e0.05  Mind0.05  Mind
wind
is the weight applicable to index hedges.
An institution shall determine wind by calculating a weighted average of wi that are applicable to the individual constituents of the index;
Mi
the effective maturity of the transactions with counterparty i.
For an institution using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, Mi shall be calculated in accordance with Article 162(2)(g). However, for that purpose, Mi shall not be capped at five years but at the longest contractual remaining maturity in the netting set.
For an institution not using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, Mi is the average notional weighted maturity as referred to in point (b) of Article 162(2). However, for that purpose, Mi shall not be capped at five years but at the longest contractual remaining maturity in the netting set.
Mihedge
the maturity of the hedge instrument with notional Bi (the quantities MihedgeBi are to be summed if these are several positions);
Mind
the maturity of the index hedge.
In the case of more than one index hedge position, Mind is the notional-weighted maturity.
2. Where a counterparty is included in an index on which a credit default swap used for hedging counterparty credit risk is based, the institution may subtract the notional amount attributable to that counterparty in accordance with its reference entity weight from the index CDS notional amount and treat it as a single name hedge (Bi) of the individual counterparty with maturity based on the maturity of the index.

Article 384
Basic approach
1. An institution shall calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with paragraph 2 or 3 of this Article, as applicable, for a portfolio of transactions with one or more counterparties by using one of the following formulae, as appropriate:
(a) the formula set out in paragraph 2 of this Article, where the institution includes in the calculation one or more eligible hedges recognised in accordance with Article 386;
(b) the formula set out in paragraph 3 of this Article, where the institution does not include in the calculation any eligible hedges recognised in accordance with Article 386.
The approaches set out in the first subparagraph, points (a) and (b), shall not be used in combination.
2. An institution that meets the condition referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), shall calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk as follows:
BACVAtotal = β · BACVAcsr–unhedged + DSCVA · (1 – β) · BACVAcsr–hedged
where:
BACVAtotal
= the own funds requirements for CVA risk under the basic approach;
BACVAcsr–unhedged
= the own funds requirements for CVA risk under the basic approach as calculated in accordance with paragraph 3 for an institution that meets the condition set out in paragraph 1, point (b);
DSCVA
= 0,65;
β
= 0,25;
where:
α
= 1,4;
ρ
= 0,5;
c
= the index that denotes all counterparties for which the institution calculates the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the approach laid down in this Article;
NS
= the index that denotes all netting sets with a given counterparty for which the institution calculates the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the approach laid down in this Article;
h
= the index that denotes all single-name instruments recognised as eligible hedges in accordance with Article 386 for a given counterparty for which the institution calculates the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the approach laid down in this Article;
I
= the index that denotes all index instruments recognised as eligible hedges in accordance with Article 386 for all counterparties for which the institution calculates the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the approach laid down in this Article;
RWc
= the risk weight applicable to counterparty c; counterparty c shall be mapped to one of the risk weights based on a combination of sector and credit quality and determined in accordance with Table 1.
Where there are no external ratings for a specific counterparty, institutions may, subject to approval by the competent authorities, map the internal rating to a corresponding external rating and assign a risk weight corresponding to either credit quality step 1 to 3 or credit quality step 4 to 6; otherwise, the risk weights for unrated exposures shall be applied.
= the effective maturity for the netting set NS with counterparty c;
shall be calculated in accordance with Article 162; however, for that calculation,  shall not be capped at five years, but at the longest contractual remaining maturity in the netting set;
= the counterparty credit risk exposure value of the netting set NS with counterparty c, including the effect of collateral in accordance with the methods set out in Title II, Chapter 6, Sections 3 to 6, as applicable to the calculation of the own funds requirements for counterparty credit risk referred to in Article 92(4), points (a) and (g);
= the supervisory discount factor for the netting set NS with counterparty c.
For an institution, using the methods set out in Title II, Chapter 6, Section 6, the supervisory discount factor shall be set at 1; in all other cases, the supervisory discount factor shall be calculated as follows:
rhc
= the supervisory correlation factor between the credit spread risk of counterparty c and the credit spread risk of a single-name instrument recognised as an eligible hedge h for counterparty c, determined in accordance with Table 2;
= the residual maturity of a single-name instrument recognised as an eligible hedge;
= the notional of a single name instrument recognised as an eligible hedge;
= the supervisory discount factor for a single name instrument recognised as an eligible hedge, calculated as follows:
= the supervisory risk weight of a single-name instrument recognised as an eligible hedge; those risk weights shall be based on a combination of sector and credit quality of the reference credit spread of the hedging instrument and determined in accordance with Table 1;
= the residual maturity of one or more positions in the same index instrument recognised as an eligible hedge; in the case of more than one position in the same index instrument,  shall be the notional-weighted maturity of all those positions;
= the full notional of one or more positions in the same index instrument recognised as an eligible hedge;
= the supervisory discount factor for one or more positions in the same index instrument recognised as an eligible hedge, calculated as follows:
= the supervisory risk weight of an index instrument recognised as an eligible hedge;  shall be based on a combination of sector and credit quality of all index constituents, calculated as follows:
(a) where all index constituents belong to the same sector and have the same credit quality, as determined in accordance with Table 1,  shall be calculated as the relevant risk weight of Table 1 for that sector and credit quality multiplied by 0,7;
(b) where all index constituents do not belong to the same sector or do not have the same credit quality,  shall be calculated as a weighted average of the risk weights of all index constituents, as determined in accordance with Table 1, multiplied by 0,7;

The definition of EADtotali for counterparty exposure now adds a discounting instruction for institutions not using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, requiring the exposure to be discounted by a factor based on Mi.

This discounting factor and its associated formula are absent from the earlier version of the definition, which described EADtotali without any such adjustment.

The formatting of decimal weights in point (b) was changed from a period-style notation (1.0 %, 3.0 %) to a comma-style notation (1,0 %, 3,0 %), with no change to the values themselves.

The discount-factor formulas following the definitions of EAD total, Bi and Bind were altered so that the maturity variable used in each discounting expression is now expressed as Mi rather than the previously used Mihedge and Mind variables in those respective formulas.

The phrase describing the fully adjusted exposure value under Article 223(5) no longer refers to it as EADitotal, simply stating that it may be used as the fully adjusted exposure value.
