Purpose

MIFIDPRU 3.1.4G

1This chapter contains requirements for the calculation of a MIFIDPRU investment firm’s own funds. These requirements are based on the provisions in Title I of Part Two of the UK CRR, but with the modifications set out in this chapter.

Supplementary provisions

MIFIDPRU 3.1.5G

2MIFIDPRU 3 Annex 7R (Additional provisions relating to own funds) and MIFIDPRU 3 Annex 8R (Prudent valuation and additional valuation adjustments) contain supplementary provisions that are relevant to certain rules in this chapter or certain requirements in the UK CRR that are cross-applied by rules in this chapter. A firm, UK parent entity or GCT parent undertaking that is applying a relevant rule in this chapter should therefore also refer to those annexes.
