2929
For securitisation calculations, when the financial institution has full knowledge of the composition of the underlying exposures of pool at all time, the institution can apply the "look-through" approach to senior securitization exposures.

Equity Investments in Funds - Look-through Approach
34+
The LTA requires a bank to risk weight the underlying exposures of a fund as if the exposures were held directly by the bank. This is the most granular and risk-sensitive approach. It must be used when:
35+
(1) there is sufficient and frequent information provided to the bank regarding the underlying exposures of the fund; and
36+
(2) such information is verified by an independent third party.

Equity Investments in Funds - Mandate-based Approach
41+
The second approach, the MBA, provides a method for calculating regulatory capital that can be used when the conditions for applying the LTA are not met.
42+
Under the MBA banks may use the information contained in a fund's mandate or in the national regulations governing such investment funds.

Equity Investmnets in Funds - Fall-back Approach
47+
Where neither the LTA nor the MBA is feasible, banks are required to apply the FBA. The FBA applies a 1250% risk weight to the bank’s equity investment in the fund.
