Capital Requirements for Market Risk
Achieve compliance with Basel III regulations for Fundamental Review
of the Trading Book (FRTB)
FACT SHEET
Basel III is part of the continuing effort to
strengthen the regulation,supervision and
risk management of the banking sector.In
early 2016,new minimum capital require-
ments were introduced that determine how
much liquidity banks are required to hold for
certain levels of assets.As banks adjust to
the higher capital demands of Basel d352,
they will need to modernize and improve
their market risk infrastructures to support
the computations needed to comply with
the newest regulations in a timely manner.
SAS Capital Requirements for Market Risk
specifically addresses the Basel d352 regula-
tion,Minimum Capital Requirements for
Market Risk,for trading activities.It includes:
• An input data model.
• Prebuilt quality checks that align with
selected BCBS 239 data requirements.
• Standardized Approach and Internal
Model Approach calculations.
• A complete framework to implement
the Internal Model Approach.
• Extensive internal and regulatory
reporting capabilities.
Benefits
• Gain a comprehensive view of market
risk in prescribed categories.By applying
required analytical approaches, SAS
Capital Requirements for Market Risk
provides an enhanced view of each
category of risk – across legal entities,
trading desks and risk classes.This solution
also offers banks an opportunity to take
a fresh approach toward modernizing
aging market risk systems to improve

ongoing basis.This solution can tackle
the various potential interpretations by
regulators of Basel d352.
• Extract, integrate and validate risk data
from almost any source. This solution
is designed to accommodate industry-
standard APIs, including support for the
ISDA-SIMM Common Risk Interchange
Format (CRIF).This enables it to consume
data from internally developed or third-
party applications – from sensitivity defini-
tions to reference data, market values,
portfolio/trades and positions data.
• Get up and running quickly with precon-
figured calculations and reports.
Prebuilt modules with embedded
quality controls,workflow and prescribed
standard calculations and reports make
it easy to get started on the path to
improved market risk management.

Capabilities
Market risk analytics
SAS Capital Requirements for Market Risk
provides prebuilt models to calculate the
Standardized Approach (SA) required by
Basel d352. It processes sensitivities,
including delta, vega and curvature as well
as high-medium-low correlations for each
prescribed category of risk, including credit,
interest rates, FX, equity and commodity
risk.ThesolutioncomputestheSASensitivity-
Based Capital Charge, a Default Risk
Charge and a Residual RiskAdd-On for each
desk separately and for all desks of the legal
entity (with and without interdesk diversifi-
cation) and combines these Capital Charges
for the SA desks with the Internal Model
Approach (IMA) Capital Charges of the
eligible desks.
Additionally, SAS Capital Requirements for
Market Risk provides a prebuilt framework
to develop a customized internal model
approach, including a review of the bank’s
firmwide internal capital model, desk-level
assessments and risk factor analysis.The
solution also calculates Expected Shortfall
(ES) and provides the ability to validate the
models with backtesting. Management and
analysts can review their positions for each
legal entity and desk, including the impact
on SA capital requirements vs. the IMA.
Intraday trading risk analysis
In addition to meeting regulatory require-
ments,intraday trading risk analysis provides
banks with new strategic capabilities,
including the optimization of assets for
competitive advantage.SAS solutions
enable in-memory calculations for a wide
range of what-if scenarios so they are
generated in a timely and scalable fashion.
The ability to run up to thousands of intra-
day simulations is critical for decisions that
impact risk,asset mix,capital and regulatory
compliance.
Visual workflow management
and monitoring
With SAS Capital Requirements for Market
Risk,you can easily visualize analytics opera-
tions,process flows and management
reporting for strategic decisions,including
risk capital at various hierarchical levels.
Firms implementing internal models will
be able to compare those results with SAS
Capital Requirements for Market Risk Stan-
dardized Approach models to decide which
is optimal for each desk.Firms reviewing
their plans to implement internal models will
be able to analyze whether they will reach
their hurdle rate to justify that investment vs.
using the Standardized Approach.
Integrated data management
Aggregating high quality data from across
the enterprise as well as from external
sources and third-party applications is a
major challenge.
SAS Capital Requirements for Market Risk
is an integrated risk management system
that provides an input data model. It lets
you extract, integrate and validate data
from almost any source – market data
providers, trade capture systems, clearing
systems and more. It also accommodates
industry-standard APIs, including support

change Format (CRIF).This enables the
solution to acquire and consolidate histor-
ical data from both internal and external
sources for risk analysis and reporting.
Embedded quality controls
aligned with BCBS 239 guidelines
Data quality is a fundamental requirement
to ensure results are based on correct
inputs. In addition to the business require-
ments for correct results, finding errors
before they are caught by the regulators is
critical.
Embedded and out-of-the-box data quality
controls, such as rules for handling bad
data, unclassified data or data not fitting
the model, are preconfigured and can be
extended by business users to meet their
individual needs.These rules ensure that
the generated analytics are reliable and
robust.Visual reports surface the data
quality failures so they can be monitored
and acted on.
Risk reporting
A wide variety of preconfigured production
reports and simulations provide users with
the ability to monitor the evolution of capital
requirements across multiple dimensions
(intraday,end of day,regulatory reporting
date,etc.).Intraday insights at the desk level
provide an enhanced timely view of market
risk as well as the ability to optimize the real-
location of capital as required by events.
In addition,through a process of continuous
enhancement based on completed
projects,SAS Capital Requirements for
Market Risk provides a growing library of
reporting templates and related content.
