How to fill out the COREP C 28.00 for an exposure secured by an insurance wrapper?
- Question
-
Article 390(7) CRR and RTS 1187/2014 specify how to determine the overall exposure to a client or a group of connected clients in respect of transactions with underlying assets. According to Article 200 CRR, insurance policies pledged to the lending institutions are eligible as Other Funded Credit Protection. As per Article 232 CRR, for banks under the Standardised Approach, the risk-weight of the original debtor is substituted with a different risk-weight ranging from 20% to 150%. Under the Standardised Approach, where an exposure is secured by a pledged insurance policy in the form of an insurance wrapper (life insurance policy ‘wrapped’ around the policy owner’s investment portfolio), how should the exposure and the collateral be reported in COREP C 28.00? Is there a difference between the Financial Collateral Simple Method and the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method?

The answer is provided based on the following case: The reporting institution has an exposure to client A amounting to EUR 100. A assigns his investment portfolio (value EUR 100) consisting of government bonds (eligible financial collateral) together with the security interests resulting from a life insurance hedging all portfolio positions (‘wrapped around the portfolio’) to the reporting institution. The insurance covers all possible losses stemming from the investment portfolio, i.e. EUR 100. The criteria set out in Articles 232 and 212 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) are met.
For large exposures purposes, the reporting institution may (and from 28 June 2021 - in application of Regulation (EU) 2019/876 - shall) substitute, based on Article 403 CRR, in a first step the original client A with the underlyings of the portfolio and in a second and final step these underlyings with the insurance undertaking.
The following should be reported in template C 28.00 of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 (ITS on Supervisory Reporting):
