What is a CRR Assessment?
One benefit of a securitisation being STS is to allow a bank investing in such a securitisation to allocate a lower amount of capital against that position than would otherwise be required by the EU Capital Requirement Regulation or , in the UK, it’s onshored version ("CRR").
However, according to the CRR, for the lower capital requirement to apply a securitisation must not only be STS but also meet an additional 4 criteria.
In addition to an STS verification, PCS will, if requested, provide a CRR assessment in which it will address these additional 4 criteria.
We strongly advise all visitors to this site to read our “Disclaimer” below for a better understanding of the nature of all PCS services.
What is an LCR Assessment?
Another benefit of a securitisation being STS is to allow a bank holding it to count it towards its liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR").
To benefit from favourable LCR treatment a securitisation must not only be STS but also meet an additional 8 criteria.
In addition to an STS verification, PCS will, if requested, provide an LCR assessment in which it will address these additional 8 criteria.
