Q

How did Standardsetter treat financial Liabilities in IFRS9 in general?

A
  • standard setter focused on asset
  • liability not linked to asset side, follows different structures and principles
  • Anleihe is on passive side when Bankspeciality is happening, in praxis nearly 0
  • # Klausur Basic Derivate: ZINSSWAP!
    • variables Leg
    • Festes Leg –> abzuzinsen mit Marktwert der Zinsen
  • Leerverkäufe: Ich verkaufe Produkt zu Termin X in Zukunft zu Preis Y –> Spekulation, das Kurs sinkt

Q

When are financial liabilities treated as FVtPL?

A
  • normally not as debt, however if market value negative
  • only possible for interest swap or short selling
    • fixed part of interest swap needs to be measured at market value and discounted with current interest rate -> negative SWAP on credit
    • option not possible as minimum value 0
17
Q

When are Financial liabilities treated as FVtOCI?

A
  • if credit risk changes Financial Liability Fair Value -> OCI
  • if Fair Value changes due to other factors -> P&L
18
Q

How are embedded derivatives treated?

A

IFRS9_4_3_1

  • separation of underlying and derivative
  • example: Wandelanleihe / convertible bond
  • Aktiva: FVtPL, not SPPI conform
  • Passiva:
    • Derivative (convertible right) -> FVtPL
    • Bond -> am. Cost
19
Q

How to differentiate Equity and Liability?

A
  1. Redemption Obligation / Rückzahlungsverpflichtung&Sonderkündigungsrecht
    • Equity instruments generally no possibility
  2. ongoing payments / Zahlungsverpflichtungen
    • Zinsen dauerhaft –> financial liability (unavoidable payment obligation)
    • Dividend –> avoidable –> equity instrument (dividends decided emittent)
  • mixed: need to be separated
20
Q

What is SPPI?

A

solely payments of principal and interest

21
Q

What are parts of interest?

A
  • Time Value of Money
  • Default risk
  • other general lending risks
  • internal Cost
  • margin
22
Q

How do you assess time value of money?

A
  • benchmark instrument (=Standard instrument as loan) to be assessed how interest payments change over time #IFRS9_B4_1_9A-D
    –> benchmark test acc to realistic scenarios
  • look at complete time to maturity
    Factors
  • Denomination Currency
  • link interest rate and period rate
  • positive examples
    • asset with right to chose market rate on ongoing basis: at each interest rate reset date, borrower can chose between three-month-LIBOR for three months or one-month-LIBOR for one month
  • negative examples
    • CMS Spread coupon (10y CMS - 2y CMS) –> coupon payments depend on difference of to interest rated rather than movements on market rate –> therefore possible that movements are opposite directions –> CF on bonds increase even if LIBOR decreases and vice versa
      • Zinssatz steigt mit Laufzeit
      • Spekulation: Zinsschere weitet sich
      • nicht mehr nur TVM
    • bond in USD but paying floating coupon with reset based on EURIBOR –> USD market changes not always captured with EUR interest rates
  • significant deviation:
    • does not meet conditions in #IFRS9_4_1_2b and #IFRS9_4_1_2Ab
    • FVtPL #IFRS9_B4_1_9D
  • insignificant deviation:
    • meets conditions in #IFRS9_4_1_2b and #IFRS9_4_1_2Ab
    • AmCost or FVtOCI
  • what is significant –> case based decision
23
Q

How are Interest rate Agreements assessed in regards to TVM?

A
  1. Bank’s published rates applied across a range of retail products and contracts
    • General market framework constrains lender –> may conclude SPPI criterion is generally met without significant judgement
  2. Variations in rates on specific loans dependent on specified contingent events
    • consider nature of contingent events and resulting CF changes –> contract by contract analysis may be required
  3. Bank has full discretion to increase the rate on specific loans to borrowers
    • contract-by-contract analysis
      - = Benchmark test
24
Q

What nature of contingency are covered under TVM?

A
  • Darf nicht 5 Jahre Festzins haben und danach 3x(EUR CMS 10Y - EUR CMS 2Y) until maturity sein
    • Zinsschere darf nicht genommen werden
    • Auch die Variante 3x EURIBOR/LIBOR darf nicht genommen werden weil Hebelwirkung -> automatisch höher wie Benchmark –> nicht mehr nur TVM
    • ok wäre z.B.: EURIBOR + 2% weil 2% fixe Marge darstellt, keinen Hebel
25
Q

How is Credit Risk assessed as part of interest?

A
  • consideration for increase in credit risk
  • positive examples
    • CPN STEPS UP/DOWN FOR EA RAT DOWNGRD/UPGRD BY MOODYS/S&P: Baa2/BBB (+25BPS);Baa3/BBB –(+50BPS); Ba1/BB+ OR LOWER (+100BPS) (i.e. coupon increases in case of a rating downgrade and decreases in case of rating upgrade)
    • interest rate of a linked note increases in case of rating downgrade
  • negative example
    • Interest payment indexed to another variable such as debtors performance or equity index unless indexing to performance leads to adjustment that only compensates for credit risk
      • EBIT/EBITDA too far removed from credit risk
26
Q

What is Principla in context of SPPI?

A
  • FV of financial asset at initial recognition
  • may change throughout life of financial asset
27
Q

What are components of Principal Payments in context of SPPI?

A

IFRS9_4_1_2

  • Regular payments
    • set forth in contract
    • linear, declining, increasing rates or bullet payment at maturity
  • extra payment, prepayments, extension options
    • agreed upon in original contract, part of legal right in jurisdictions
    • appropriate penalty payment (prepayments #IFRS9_B4_1_11b)
    • # 489BGB nach 10 Jahren kann Privatkunde zur Bank gehen und Kredit kündigen
    • in #Klausur wäre Aufgabe kompliziert –> nur wenn Angaben gemacht werden
28
Q

What are changes over time due to contracts in context of SPPI?

A
  • Nature of contingency #IFRS9_B4_1_10
    • eg. prepayment before maturity, extension of terms
    • determined if only SPPI
  • Prepayment option #IFRS9_B4_1_11b
    • permits issuer to prepay instrument / permits holder to put debt instrument back to issuer
    • before maturity and prepayment amount is substantially unpaid amounts of principal and interest incl. reasonable compensation for early termination
  • Guidance to accept AmCost #IFRS9_B4_1_12
    • eligible to be measured at AmCost or FVtOCI only if
      • entity acquires/originates financial asset at premium/discount to the contractual par amount
      • prepayment amount = contractual par amount and accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (may include reasonable compensation for early termination)
      • entity initial recognition of financial asset, the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant
29
Q

Was ist die Definition von Non-Recourse Assets?

A
  • creditor claim limited to
    • specified assets
    • cashflows from specified assets #IFRS9_B4_1_16
    • recourse to debtor itself, other assets not possible
  • financial asset represent investment in particular assets/cashflow
  • contractual cashflows not solely SPPI
  • example:
    • mortgage loans wich creditor has no right of recourse against debtor but only against real estate collateral in case of default
    • financing of toll road –> cash flow from fin.Ass. increase the more cars use it
  • most significant risk: Asset or project –> SPPI not fulfilled
  • non-recourse itself not necessary exclusion of SPPI #IFRS9_B4_1_17
    • creditor needs to assess if particular underlying assets or cashflows to determine SPPI conformity
    • examination if:
      • terms of financial asset give rise to other cashflows OR
      • limit cashflows in manner inconsistent with payment representing principal and interest
  • Was ist Asset in SPE (e.g. aircraft)
    • Problem: Geben Kredit an SPE
    • Rückzahlungen sind fix
    • SPE nur ein Asset
      • praktisch: ökonomisch abhängig von Performance dieses einen Assets
      • Tilgung nur über Gesamtgeschäft
    • Non recourse asset -> Geld kommt nur aus non-recourse asset
    • hoher Zins als gegenleistung
30
Q

What steps are involved in the Look through approach?

A
  • Step 1:
    • CF equals Principal and interest –> Step 2
      • contractually fixed cash flows and maturity
      • interest = compensation for time value of money and credit risk ( #IFRS9_B4_1_7 ff)
      • performance of the financed asset does not influence the installments
      • no contractual terms that give rise to any other cash flows or limit the cash lows in a manner inconsistent with payments of principal and interest on the principal amount oustanding ( #IFRS9_B4_1_16 f)
    • CF =/= Principal and interest –> Fair Value
      • interest contains compensation for asset risk
      • contractual terms refer to cash flows dependent on asset performance
      • contractual terms that give rise to any other cash flows or limit the cash flows in a manner inconsistent with payments of principal and interest on the principal amount oustanding (e.g. disposal of assets, participation in a positive performance of assets)
  • Step 2:
    • Credit risk: Am Cost
      • According to the terms of the lending arrangement credit risk is the substantial risk (by stipulations regarding the adherence of an appropriate equity base or other covenants)
      • Possible indicators
        • Redemption of a loan is independent of the asset‘s performance
        • Creditor‘s claims are hedged by appropriate collaterals (adequate loan to value)
    • Asset Risk: Fair Value
      • Based on the fact that the financial asset is a non recourse financial asset the creditors claim is limited to specified assets of the debtor or the cash flows from specified assets
      • Hence substantial risk is an asset specific risk
      • Possiple indicators
        • Redemption of a loan depends on the asset‘s performance
        • Financial asset of a special purpose entity (SPE) is debtor‘s essential source of income, there are no relevant collaterals and equity base is low
31
Q

What is the definition for contractually linked notes?

A

Definition #IFRS9_B4_1_20
- In some types of transactions, an issuer may prioritise payments to holders of financial assets using multiple contractually linked instruments that create concentration of credit risk (tranches)
- each trench has own ranking
- holders of tranche have rights to payment of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding only if issuer generates sufficient cashflows to satisfy higher tranches
- Application for securities - Securitization #IFRS9_B4_1_21
- Cash flows generated by the underlying pool of assets are allocated to tranches of different subordination applying cash flow tests based on tranche specific thresholds
- If one or more of the thresholds are breached in a given period, the relevant tranche will be cut off from interest and/or principal payments for this period (no amortised cost)
- Through this mechanism, it is ensured that higher ranking tranches have priority of the cash flows generated by the pool if these cash flows may not be sufficient to satisfy all interest and/or principal payments due on all tranches (waterfall principle)

32
Q

Ist ESG SPPI konform?

A

Bsp: Darlehen für energetische Sanierung
- Voraussetzung: CO2- Minderung 10%
- Wenn Minderung nicht erreicht -> Zins wird erhöht
Analyse:
- Zins wird mit ökologischem Merkmal verknüpft
- kein pure-vanilla Instrument mehr
- keine Abhängigkeit mehr allein SPPI #IFRS9_B4_1_7A
- Banken argumentieren: Wenn Öko Ziele nicht erreicht werden dann müssen Emissionszertifikate gekauft werden, dann weniger Zins, dann weniger Bonität
- laut Löw kein unmittelbarer Zusammenhang mit credit default risk -> ESG NICHT SPPI Konform

33
Q

Wie werden Contractually linked instruments auf SPPI konformität geprüft?

A
  1. Erfüllt Vertrag ohne Look through approach Kriterium?
  2. Jetzt in SPE reinschauen -> erfüllen Underlying assets das Kriterium?
    • wenn nein dann dürfen sie nur der RIsikominimierung dienen
  3. Können sich Underlyings über laufzeit ändern?
  4. Wenn Kreditrisiko der Tranche > Kreditrisiko der Underlying Assets dann KEIN SPPI, wenn <= SPPI konform
  • Senior Tranche Immer SPPI konform
  • Junior Tranche nie SPPI konform
34
Q

How do you treat liabilities where the repayment is done in own equity instruments?

A
  • repayment in own equity instruments with non-derivative contracts #IAS32_16b_i
    • Equity if: instruments without contractual obligation to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments –> ergo derliver obligation of fixed number of shares
  • repayment in own equity instruments with derivative contracts #IAS32_16b_ii, #IAS32_AG27a-d , #IAS32_26
    • fulfillment in:
      • Net cash settlement; Net share settlement; Gross physical settlement; Variable number of equity instruments / amount based on changes in a variable underlying; Derivative financial asset / financial liabilitiy
    • settlement choice of one party
      • derivative: financial asset or liability
