Use a frtbsa object and the charge function to calculate the total capital market risk charge for each portfolio. FRTB-SA (Standardized Approach for Fundamental Review of Trading Book) is a Basel Committee on Banking Supervision framework for calculating market capital risk requirements that is based on a set of standardized risk factors.

Create frtbsa Object

Use bank format to display numeric data using two decimal places.

format bank

Define the ISDA® FRTB-SA CRIF file.

FRTBSACRIF = "FRTBSA_CRIF.csv";

Define the DRC reference date.

DrcRefCOBDate = datetime(2023,9,21);

Use frtbsa to create the FRTB-SA object.

myFRTBSA = frtbsa(FRTBSACRIF,DRCValuationDate=DrcRefCOBDate)

Charge

Under the FRTB-SA framework, the charge is the sum of the capital charges for all risk factor categories, plus any applicable add-ons.

This total charge represents the minimum amount of capital that the bank must hold to cover the market risk in its trading book under the standardized approach.

The FRTB-SA capital charge is composed of several components, each designed to address specific types of risks:

  • Sensitivity-based Method (SBM) — This component is the main component of the FRTB-SA capital charge. It requires banks to calculate capital charges based on the sensitivities of their trading book positions to various risk factors, such as interest rate risk, credit spread risk, equity risk, foreign exchange risk, and commodity risk. The sensitivities are then risk-weighted and aggregated, taking into account prescribed correlations.

  • Default risk charge (DRC) — This component covers the risk of default of issuers of debt and equity instruments in the trading book. It is calculated using a supervisory formula under the standard approach (SA).

  • Residual risk add-on (RRAO) — The RRAO is an additional capital charge for risks not captured by the SBM or DRC, particularly those associated with exotic or complex products, imperfect hedging strategies, or other specific risks considered residual in nature.
