ANNEX V MARKET BENCHMARKING PORTFOLIOS

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS

An institution shall apply the following:

  1. (a)

    Unless explicitly specified otherwise in the portfolio description, all positions shall be booked 15 October 2015. Once positions have been booked, each portfolio shall age for the duration of the benchmarking exercise. Furthermore, calculations shall be done under the assumption that the institution does not take any action to manage the portfolio in any way during the entire period of the benchmarking exercise. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specifications for a particular portfolio, strike prices for option positions shall be determined relative to prices for the underlying as observed at market close on 15 October 2015.

  2. (b)

    For the purpose of the pre-benchmarking exercise validation, the valuation of each portfolio shall be submitted to the institution's competent authority by 30 June 2016. The exact timing of the valuation shall be 26 October 2015, 5.30 pm CET.

  3. (c)

    The risks of the positions shall be calculated without taking into account the funding costs associated with the portfolios

  4. (d)

    To the extent possible, counterparty credit risk shall be excluded when valuing the risks of the portfolios.

  5. (e)

    The 10-day 99 % VaR shall be calculated on a daily basis. Stressed Value-at-Risk ("sVaR") and the Incremental Risk Charge ("IRC") may be calculated on a weekly basis. sVaR and IRC shall be based on end–of-day prices for each Friday in the time window of the benchmarking exercise.

  6. (f)

    For each portfolio, results shall be reported in the base currency of the portfolio as provided in the sections below.

  7. (g)

    For transactions that include long positions in Credit Default Swaps ("CDS"), assume an immediate up-front fee is paid to enter the position as per the market conventions.

  8. (h)

    It shall be assumed that the maturity date for all CDS in the benchmarking exercise follows conventional quarterly termination dates, often referred to as "IMM dates".

  9. (i)

    Additional specifications needed in order to carry out pricing calculations required for CDS positions shall be done in a way that is consistent with commonly used market standards.

  10. (j)

    The maturity date (for example, some options expire on the third Saturday of the month) that ensures that the transaction is closest to the term-to-maturity specified shall be used. For material details of the product specification that are not explicitly stated in this document, the assumptions that have been used (day count convention, etc.) shall be provided along with the results.

  11. (k)

    The abbreviations ATM, OTM and ITM refer to a derivative's moneyness (i.e. the relative position of the price of an underlying with respect to the strike price of that derivative). ATM stands for "at the money", OTM stands for "out of the money", and ITM stands for "in the money".

  12. (l)

    All options shall be treated as if they are traded over-the-counter ("OTC") unless explicitly specified otherwise in the portfolio.

  13. (m)

    The standard timing conventions for OTC options shall be followed (i.e. expiry dates are the business day following a non-trading day). For example, a 3-month OTC option booked on 15 October 2015 expires on 15 January 2016. If options expire on a non-trading day, adjust the expiration date per business day, in accordance with common market practices.

  14. (n)

    All OTC options shall be treated as:

    • American for single name equities and commodities; and
    • European for equity indices, foreign exchange and swaptions.

  15. (o)

    For all options the premium from the initial market value calculations shall be excluded (i.e. options shall be considered as "naked").

  16. (p)

    For the positions denominated in Euro but composed by one or more instruments denominated in a different currency, the Initial Market Valuation ("IMV"), VaR, sVaR and IRC shall be converted in Euro using the appropriate foreign exchange ("FX") spot rate at the end of the booking date (15 October 2015).

  17. (q)

    When booking all positions, appropriate market convention shall be followed unless otherwise specified in the instructions applicable to the portfolio.

  18. (r)

    When an instrument is subject to a corporate action (a call from the issuer, a default etc.) it shall be excluded from the portfolio along with any related CDS or option.

  19. (s)

    The Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("Euribor") is the rate calculated by the European Money Markets Institute at different maturities for Euro interbank term deposits.

  20. (t)

    The London Interbank Offered Rate ("Libor") is the rate calculated by the Intercontinental Exchange at different maturities for interbank term deposits in different currencies.
