  • Office Of Financial Research Update - "Form PF And Hedge Funds: Risk-measurement Precision For Option Portfolios"

    Date 23/03/2016

    The OFR released a working paper today entitled, "Form PF and Hedge Funds: Risk-measurement Precision for Option Portfolios," and an accompanying blog by Stacey Schreft, OFR Deputy Director for Research and Analysis. The paper examines the precision of Form PF in measuring the risk hedge funds pose to the financial system. Hedge funds and other private funds now file Form PF with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The paper extends the methodology of a 2015 OFR working paper and finds that options significantly weaken the risk-measurement tolerances in Form PF.

  • EBA Publishes The Report On SMEs And The SME Supporting Factor

    Date 23/03/2016

    The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a Report on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which analyses (i) the evolution of lending trends and conditions for SMEs, (ii) the effective riskiness of EU SMEs over a full economic cycle and (iii) the consistency of own funds requirements laid down in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) for credit risk on exposures to SMEs. Overall, the results of the EBA analysis show limited effectiveness of the SME Supporting Factor (SF). However, more data is needed before drawing firm conclusions and, therefore, the EBA recommends continued monitoring of the application of the SF.
