  1. Title 12—Banks and Banking
  2. CHAPTER III—FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
  3. SUBCHAPTER B—REGULATIONS AND STATEMENTS OF GENERAL POLICY
  4. PART 324—CAPITAL ADEQUACY OF FDIC-SUPERVISED INSTITUTIONS
  5. Subpart E—Risk-Weighted Assets—Internal Ratings-Based and Advanced Measurement Approaches

(a) Under the IMA, in addition to holding risk-based capital against an equity derivative contract under this part, an FDIC-supervised institution must hold risk-based capital against the counterparty credit risk in the equity derivative contract by also treating the equity derivative contract as a wholesale exposure and computing a supplemental risk-weighted asset amount for the contract under § 324.132.

(b) Under the SRWA, an FDIC-supervised institution may choose not to hold risk-based capital against the counterparty credit risk of equity derivative contracts, as long as it does so for all such contracts. Where the equity derivative contracts are subject to a qualified master netting agreement, an FDIC-supervised institution using the SRWA must either include all or exclude all of the contracts from any measure used to determine counterparty credit risk exposure.
