1Step 1

Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)

Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)=min⁡(Articles 208-215 Conditions Met (0/1),Documentation Evidence Available (0/1))\textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)} = \min(\textit{Articles 208-215 Conditions Met (0/1)}, \textit{Documentation Evidence Available (0/1)})
2Step 2

Financial Risk Mitigation Ineligible Flag (0/1)

Financial Risk Mitigation Ineligible Flag (0/1)=1−Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)\textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Ineligible Flag (0/1)} = 1 - \textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)}
3Step 3

Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect

Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect=Claimed Risk-Mitigating Effect×Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)\textit{Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect} = \textit{Claimed Risk-Mitigating Effect} \times \textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)}
4Step 4

Unrecognized Risk-Mitigating Effect

Unrecognized Risk-Mitigating Effect=max⁡(0,Claimed Risk-Mitigating Effect−Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect)\textit{Unrecognized Risk-Mitigating Effect} = \max(0, \textit{Claimed Risk-Mitigating Effect} - \textit{Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect})
5Step 5

Scenario-Only Adverse Effect

Scenario-Only Adverse Effect=max⁡(0,Adverse Own-Funds Scenario Effect)×Financial Risk Mitigation Ineligible Flag (0/1)\textit{Scenario-Only Adverse Effect} = \max(0, \textit{Adverse Own-Funds Scenario Effect}) \times \textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Ineligible Flag (0/1)}
6Step 6

Short Equity Control Flag (0/1)

Short Equity Control Flag (0/1)=min⁡(Short Equity Position (0/1),Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1))\textit{Short Equity Control Flag (0/1)} = \min(\textit{Short Equity Position (0/1)}, \textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)})
7Step 7

Financial Risk Mitigation Governance Breach Flag (0/1)

Financial Risk Mitigation Governance Breach Flag (0/1)=1−Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)\textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Governance Breach Flag (0/1)} = 1 - \textit{Financial Risk Mitigation Eligibility Gate Flag (0/1)}
8Step 8

Admissible Financial Risk Mitigation Effect

Admissible Financial Risk Mitigation Effect=Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect−Scenario-Only Adverse Effect\textit{Admissible Financial Risk Mitigation Effect} = \textit{Recognized Risk-Mitigating Effect} - \textit{Scenario-Only Adverse Effect}

Understand the Financial Risk Mitigation Admissibility

Overview

This calculator implements the EIOPA 2026 admissibility control for financial risk-mitigating instruments and short equity positions.[1] It recognizes risk-mitigation benefit only where the Articles 208-215 conditions and documentation evidence are met; otherwise, the instrument is considered only where it worsens own funds under the stressed scenario.

Input Terms

  • Claimed Risk-Mitigating Effect: The mitigation benefit proposed for recognition in the market-risk calculation.
  • Articles 208-215 Conditions Met Flag: The legal eligibility gate for financial risk mitigation recognition.
  • Documentation Evidence Flag: Evidence that contractual and operational requirements are supportable.
  • Adverse Own-Funds Scenario Effect: The amount to retain when an ineligible instrument worsens own funds under stress.

Technical Rationale

EIOPA Guideline 4 states that financial risk-mitigating instruments, including short equity positions, can only be recognized where they comply with Articles 208 to 215 of Delegated Regulation 2015/35. If they do not comply, they should only be considered in stressed scenarios where they decrease own funds. This calculator isolates that admissibility decision from the downstream market-risk charge.

Important Notes

  • Latest EIOPA update: This page reflects the revised EIOPA Guidelines on market and counterparty risk exposures published on 13 February 2026.
  • Atomistic output: The primary output is the admissible financial risk-mitigation effect after removing non-compliant relief and retaining adverse scenario effects.
  • Short equity treatment: Short equity positions do not receive recognition merely because they offset a market exposure; the same eligibility gate applies.
  • Downstream handoff: Feed only the admissible effect into the relevant market-risk stress calculation.
