Understand the Hybrid Instrument Decomposition

Overview

This calculator implements the EIOPA 2026 market-risk preprocessing control for assets with both debt and equity characteristics.[1] It splits separable components into debt and equity exposure bases and, where decomposition is not possible, applies a fallback based on predominant economic substance.

Input Terms

  • Hybrid Instrument Market Value: The total value of the instrument being classified.
  • Separable Debt / Equity Components: Component values used where the instrument can be decomposed into discrete parts.
  • Decomposition Possible Flag: Indicates whether separate component treatment is available.
  • Economic Substance Flags: Fallback classification where decomposition is not possible.

Technical Rationale

EIOPA Guideline 3 requires undertakings to consider both debt and equity characteristics when determining the standard-formula modules and sub-modules that apply. Where the asset can be considered as a composite of discrete components, relevant stresses should be applied separately. Where that is not possible, the classification should follow the predominant economic substance. This calculator prepares those downstream exposure buckets without calculating the final SCR.

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 allocated hybrid exposure; debt and equity outputs feed spread, interest-rate, or equity risk calculators as applicable.
  • Reconciliation control: A decomposition breach means the component values do not reconcile to the total market value within tolerance.
  • Fallback discipline: If decomposition is not possible, only the predominant economic substance fallback should be used.
