Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018
 
 
 
Regulatory framework for disclosures
HSBC is supervised on a consolidated basis in the United Kingdom ('UK') by the Prudential Regulation Authority ('PRA'), which receives information on the capital adequacy of, and sets capital requirements for, the Group as a whole. Individual banking subsidiaries are directly regulated by their local banking supervisors, who set and monitor their local capital adequacy requirements. In most jurisdictions, non-banking financial subsidiaries are also subject to the supervision and capital requirements of local regulatory authorities.
At a consolidated Group level, we calculate capital for prudential regulatory reporting purposes using the Basel III framework of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the 'Basel Committee') as implemented by the European Union ('EU') in the amended Capital Requirements Directive and Regulation ('CRD IV'), and in the PRA Rulebook for the UK banking industry. The regulators of Group banking entities outside the EU are at varying stages of implementation of the Basel III framework, so local regulation in 2018 may have been on the basis of the Basel I, II or III frameworks.
The Basel III framework is structured around three 'pillars': the Pillar 1 minimum capital requirements and Pillar 2 supervisory review process are complemented by Pillar 3 which concerns market discipline. The aim of Pillar 3 is to produce disclosures that allow market participants to assess the scope of application by banks of the Basel Committee's framework and the rules in their jurisdiction, their capital condition, risk exposures and risk management processes, and hence their capital adequacy.
The PRA's final rules adopted national discretions in order to accelerate significantly the transition timetable to full 'end point' CRD IV compliance.
 
 
Pillar 3 disclosures
Our Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018 comprise information required under Pillar 3, both quantitative and qualitative. They are made in accordance with Part 8 of the Capital Requirements Regulation within CRD IV and as recommended by the European Banking Authority ('EBA') guidelines on disclosure requirements issued in December 2016. Additionally, we continue to present a number of Basel Committee's templates where these do not overlap with the EBA guidelines. These disclosures are supplemented by specific additional requirements of the PRA and discretionary disclosures on our part.
The Pillar 3 disclosures are governed by the Group's disclosure policy framework as approved by the Group Audit Committee ('GAC'). Pillar 3 requires all material risks to be disclosed, enabling a comprehensive view of a bank's risk profile.
Where disclosures have been enhanced, or are new, we do not generally restate or provide prior-year comparatives. The capital resources tables track the position from a CRD IV transitional to an end point basis. Furthermore, specific rows and columns in the tables which are not considered to be relevant to HSBC's activities have been omitted. We also omit rows and columns where both current and comparative disclosures are immaterial.
Pillar 3 requirements may be met by inclusion in other disclosure media. Where we adopt this approach, references are provided to the relevant pages of the Interim Report 2018 or to other locations.
We continue to engage constructively with the UK authorities and industry associations to improve the transparency and comparability of UK banks' Pillar 3 disclosures.
 
 
 
 
Regulatory developments
Risk-weighted assets ('RWAs') and leverage ratio
Basel Committee
In December 2017, the Basel Committee ('Basel') published revisions to the Basel III framework. The final package includes:
  
widespread changes to the risk weights under the standardised approach to credit risk;
  
a change in the scope of application of the internal ratings based ('IRB') approach to credit risk, together with changes to the IRB methodology;
  
the replacement of the operational risk approaches with a single methodology;
  
an amended set of rules for the credit valuation adjustment ('CVA') capital framework;
  
an aggregate output capital floor that ensures that banks' total RWAs are no lower than 72.5% of those generated by the standardised approaches; and
  
changes to the exposure measure for the leverage ratio, together with the imposition of a leverage ratio buffer for global systemically important banks ('G-SIB'). This will take the form of a tier 1 capital buffer set at 50% of the G-SIB's RWAs capital buffer.
Basel has announced that the package will be implemented on1 January 2022, with a five-year transitional provision for the output floor from that date, commencing at a rate of 50%.
HSBC continues to evaluate the final Basel III reform package. Given that the package contains a significant number of national discretions and that Basel is in the process of recalibrating the market risk and CVA elements of the final framework, significant uncertainty remains as to the impact.
In all instances, the final standards will have to be transposed into the relevant local law before coming into effect.
European Union
In the EU, elements of Basel's reforms are being implemented through revisions to the Capital Requirements Regulation and Capital Requirements Directive (collectively referred to as 'CRR2'). In relation to RWAs and the leverage ratio, the changes include the fundamental review of the trading book ('FRTB'), changes to the counterparty credit risk framework and a binding leverage ratio. The CRR2 changes are expected to complete in the second half of 2018 and apply from 1 January 2021, although certain elements, such as those related to the 'Minimum Requirements for own funds and Eligible Liabilities' ('MREL'), are expected to apply earlier.
In May 2018, the European Commission requested that the EBA perform a quantitative and qualitative impact analysis of the Basel III reforms on the EU banking sector and the wider economy, including an assessment of the final FRTB standards currently subject to recalibration by Basel. This impact analysis is expected to commence in August 2018. The EBA's final report on the adoption of Basel's reforms is not due to be published until the end of June 2019.
Bank of England
In May 2018, the PRA published a consultation that sets out its approach to the new EU securitisation regulations. The regime is to apply from 1 January 2019 for new transactions and from1 January 2020 for existing transactions.

Capital resources, resolution and total loss absorbing capacity ('TLAC')
Financial Stability Board
In June 2018, the Financial Stability Board ('FSB') published a call for feedback on the technical implementation of its standard on TLAC for G-SIBs in resolution ('the TLAC standard'). This will assess whether the implementation of the TLAC standard is proceeding as envisaged and may be used as a basis to develop further implementation guidance.
In June 2018, the FSB also published two sets of final guidelines, following consultations in November 2017. The first sets out principles to assist authorities as they make bail-in resolution strategies operational and the second covers the development of a resolution funding plan for G-SIBs.
European Union
The CRR2 also implements the FSB TLAC standard for G-SIBs, which is being implemented in the form of the MREL requirements. Several changes are also introduced in the own funds calculation and eligibility criteria, the most important of which relates to Point of Non Viability ('PONV') requirements for Additional Tier 1 ('AT1') and Tier 2 instruments. These are expected to apply from 1 January 2019.
 
Bank of England
In June 2018, the Bank of England published its approach to setting MREL within groups ('internal MREL') and also its final policy on selected outstanding MREL policy matters. These are expected to apply from 1 January 2019. The PRA also published its expectations for MREL reporting which will apply from the same date.
The PRA has also published final rules on group risk and double leverage. Firms will be required to consider both elements as part of the Pillar 2 process. In June 2018, the PRA also published modifications to its intra-group large exposures framework, which came into force with immediate effect.
Basel Committee
In July 2018, Basel published a revised assessment methodology and higher loss absorbing requirement for G-SIBs. This updates itsJuly 2013 publication and follows a consultation on its methodology in March 2017. The revised methodology will take effect in 2021 and the resulting higher loss absorbing requirement will be applied in January 2023.

Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018
 
The Group has adopted the regulatory transitional arrangements (including paragraph 4 of CRR article 473a) published by the EU on 27 December 2017 for IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. These permit banks to add back to their capital base a proportion of the impact that IFRS 9 has upon their loan loss allowances during the first five years of use. The proportion that banks may add back starts at 95% in 2018, and reduces to 25% by 2022.
The impact of IFRS 9 on loan loss allowances is defined as:
  
the increase in loan loss allowances on day one of IFRS 9 adoption; plus
  
any subsequent increase in expected credit losses in the non credit-impaired book thereafter.
The impact is calculated separately for portfolios using the standardised ('STD') and IRB approaches and, for IRB portfolios, there is no add-back to capital unless loan loss allowances exceed regulatory 12-month expected losses. Any add-back must be tax-affected and accompanied by a recalculation of capital deduction thresholds, exposure and RWAs.
 
 
 
 
Structure of the regulatory group
Subsidiaries engaged in insurance activities are excluded from the regulatory consolidation by excluding assets, liabilities and post-acquisition reserves, leaving the Group's investment in these insurance subsidiaries to be recorded at cost and deducted from CET1 capital (subject to thresholds).
The regulatory consolidation also excludes special purpose entities ('SPEs') where significant risk has been transferred to third parties. Exposures to these SPEs are risk-weighted as securitisation positions for regulatory purposes.
Participating interests in banking associates are proportionally consolidated for regulatory purposes by including our share of assets, liabilities, profit and loss, and RWAs in accordance with the PRA's application of EU legislation. Non-participating significant investments along with non-financial associates are deducted from capital (subject to thresholds).

The references (a) - (p) identify balance sheet components on page 5 which are used in the calculation of regulatory capital.
At 30 June 2018, our CET1 capital ratio decreased to 14.2% from 14.5% at 31 December 2017.
CET1 capital decreased in 1H18 by $3.4bn, mainly as a result of:
  
$3.5bn of unfavourable foreign currency translation differences;
  
the $2.0bn share buy-back; and
  
a $1.0bn increase in threshold deductions as a result of an increase in the value of our material holdings and a decrease in the CET1 capital base.
These decreases were partly offset by:
  
$2.5bn of capital generation through profits, net of cash and scrip dividends; and
  
a $1.2bn IFRS 9 day one transitional impact, mainly due to classification and measurement changes.
Leverage ratio
Our leverage ratio calculated in accordance with CRD IV was 5.4% at 30 June 2018, down from 5.6% at 31 December 2017, mainly due to balance sheet growth.
The Group's UK leverage ratio at 30 June 2018 on a modified basis, excluding qualifying central bank balances, was 5.9%.
 
At 30 June 2018, our UK minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3.25% was supplemented by an additional leverage ratio buffer of 0.5% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer of 0.2%. These additional buffers translate into capital values of $12.8bn and $3.9bn, respectively. We exceeded these leverage requirements.
The risk of excessive leverage is managed as part of HSBC's global risk appetite framework and monitored using a leverage ratio metric within our risk appetite statement ('RAS'). The RAS articulates the aggregate level and types of risk that HSBC is willing to accept in its business activities in order to achieve its strategic business objectives. The RAS measures are monitored via the risk appetite profile report, which includes comparisons of actual performance against the risk appetite and tolerance thresholds assigned to each metric, to ensure that any excessive risk is highlighted, assessed and mitigated appropriately. The risk appetite profile report is presented monthly to the Risk Management Meeting of the Group Management Board ('RMM') and the Group Risk Committee ('GRC').

Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018
 
Capital buffers
The geographical breakdown and institution specific countercyclical capital buffer disclosure is published annually on the HSBC website, www.hsbc.com. Our G-SIB Indicators Disclosure is published annually on the HSBC website, www.hsbc.com.
 
Pillar 1 minimum capital requirements and RWA flow
Pillar 1 covers the minimum capital resource requirements for credit risk, counterparty credit risk ('CCR'), equity, securitisation, market risk and operational risk. These requirements are expressed in terms of RWAs.
 
    
 
Risk category
Scope of permissible approaches
Approach adopted by HSBC
 
Credit risk
The Basel Committee's framework applies three approaches of increasing sophistication to the calculation of Pillar 1 credit risk capital requirements. The most basic level, the standardised approach, requires banks to use external credit ratings to determine the risk weightings applied to rated counterparties. Other counterparties are grouped into broad categories and standardised risk weightings are applied to these categories. The next level, the foundation IRB ('FIRB') approach, allows banks to calculate their credit risk capital requirements on the basis of their internal assessment of a counterparty's probability of default ('PD'), but subjects their quantified estimates of EAD and loss given default ('LGD') to standard supervisory parameters. Finally, the advanced IRB ('AIRB') approach allows banks to use their own internal assessment in both determining PD and quantifying EAD and LGD.
For consolidated Group reporting, we have adopted the advanced IRB approach for the majority of our business.
Some portfolios remain on the standardised or foundation IRB approaches:
pending the issuance of local regulations or model approval;
following supervisory prescription of a non-advanced approach; or
under exemptions from IRB treatment.
 
 
 
 
 
Counterparty credit risk
Four approaches to calculating CCR and determining exposure values are defined by the Basel Committee: mark-to-market, original exposure, standardised and Internal Model Method ('IMM'). These exposure values are used to determine capital requirements under one of the credit risk approaches: standardised, foundation IRB or advanced IRB.
We use the mark-to-market and IMM approaches for CCR. Details of the IMM permission we have received from the PRA can be found in the Financial Services Register on the PRA website. Our aim is to increase the proportion of positions on IMM over time.
 
Equity
For the non-trading book, equity exposures can be assessed under standardised or IRB approaches.
For Group reporting purposes, all non-trading book equity exposures are treated under the standardised approach.
 
Securitisation
Basel specifies two approaches for calculating credit risk requirements for securitisation positions in non-trading books: the standardised approach and the IRB approach, which incorporates the Ratings Based Method ('RBM'), the Internal Assessment Approach ('IAA') and the Supervisory Formula Method ('SFM'). Securitisation positions in the trading book are treated within the market risk framework, using the CRD IV standard rules.
For the majority of the non-trading book securitisation positions we use the IRB approach, and within this principally the RBM, with lesser amounts on the IAA and the SFM. We also use the standardised approach for an immaterial amount of non-trading book positions. We follow the CRD IV standard rules for the securitisation positions in the trading book.
 
Market risk
Market risk capital requirements can be determined under either the standard rules or the Internal Models Approach ('IMA'). The latter involves the use of internal value at risk ('VaR') models to measure market risks and determine the appropriate capital requirement.
In addition to the VaR models, other internal models include Stressed VaR ('SVaR'), Incremental Risk Charge ('IRC') and Comprehensive Risk Measure.
 
The market risk capital requirement is measured using internal market risk models, where approved by the PRA, or under the standard rules. Our internal market risk models comprise VaR, stressed VaR and IRC. Non-proprietary details of the scope of our IMA permission are available in the Financial Services Register on the PRA website. We are in compliance with the requirements set out in Articles 104 and 105 of the Capital Requirements Regulation.
 
Operational risk
The Basel Committee allows firms to calculate their operational risk capital requirement under the basic indicator approach, the standardised approach or the advanced measurement approach.
We currently use the standardised approach in determining our operational risk capital requirement. We have in place an operational risk model that is used for economic capital calculation purposes.

'Capital requirements' here and in all tables where the term is used, represents the minimum total capital charge set at 8% of RWAs by article 92 of the Capital Requirements Regulation.
Credit risk, including amounts below the thresholds for deduction
RWAs decreased by $6.5bn in the second quarter, including a decrease in foreign currency translation differences of $23.9bn. The $17.4bn increase (excluding foreign currency translation differences) was mainly due to lending growth principally in CMB and GB&M in Asia.
Counterparty credit risk
The $10.4bn decrease in RWAs was principally due to:
  
the implementation of IMM in Asia and the US which reduced RWAs by $6.7bn; and
 
  
a decrease in asset size of $4.1bn mainly from mark-to-market movements in Europe and the US.
Securitisation in non-trading book
The $5.8bn RWA decrease in the second quarter of the year arose predominantly from the sale of legacy positions.
Market risk
RWAs decreased by $6.2bn mainly as a result of reduced exposure under the internal models approach.

Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018
 
RWAs under the IRB approach decreased by $2.8bn in the second quarter of the year, including a decrease of $16.6bn due to foreign currency translation differences.
The $13.8bn increase in RWAs excluding foreign currency translation differences is mainly due to:
  
an $11.4bn growth in corporate and lending portfolios mainly in Asia, North America and Europe;
 
  
$1.0bn movement in asset quality due to changes in portfolio mix, mainly in CMB and GB&M; and
  
a $0.6bn increase due to updates to retail and corporate models in RBWM and CMB.

lower exposure in the incremental risk charge ('IRC') that reduced RWAs by $1.7bn.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet an obligation under a contract. It arises principally from direct lending, trade finance and leasing business, but also from other products, such as guarantees and credit derivatives and from holding assets in the form of debt securities. Credit risk represents our largest regulatory capital requirement. 
There have been no material changes to our policies and practices, which are described in the Pillar 3 Disclosures at 31 December 2017.
 
On 1 January 2018, HSBC implemented the requirements of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. Information relevant to understanding the impact of the new accounting standard on HSBC is available in the Report on Transition to IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' available on the HSBC website.
 
 
Credit quality of assets
We are a universal bank with a conservative approach to credit risk. This is reflected in our credit risk profile being diversified across a number of asset classes and geographies with a credit quality profile concentrated in the higher quality bands.

Standardised exposures to EEA 'regional governments and local authorities' and 'public sector entities' are reported separately in 2018. In previous years, these exposures were grouped with 'central governments or central banks'. Prior reporting has not been restated.
  
3
From 1 January 2018, standardised exposures that are in default are reported within individual exposure classes and totalled in 'Exposures in default'. The reported amounts at31 December 2017 have not been restated; 'Exposures in default' at that date principally comprised defaulted exposure to corporates of $3.3bn, retail clients of $1.1bn and exposure secured on immovable property of $1.0bn.

Defaulted exposures
The accounting definition of impaired and the regulatory definition of default are generally aligned. For particular retail exposures regulatory default is identified at 180 days past due, while the exposures are identified as impaired at 90 days past due.
 
In the retail portfolio in the US, for accounting purposes, a renegotiation would normally trigger identification as 'impaired', whereas for regulatory purposes, default is identified mainly based on the 180 days past due criterion.

Risk mitigation
Our approach when granting credit facilities is to do so on the basis of capacity to repay, rather than placing primary reliance on credit risk mitigants. Depending on a customer's standing and the type of product, facilities may be provided unsecured. Mitigation of credit risk is a key aspect of effective risk management and takes many forms.Our general policy is to promote the use of
credit risk mitigation, justified by commercial prudence and capital efficiency. Specifically, detailed policies cover the acceptability, structuring and terms with regard to the availability of credit risk mitigation; for example, in the form of collateral security.These policies, together with the setting of suitable valuation parameters, are subject to regular review to ensure that they are supported by empirical evidence and continue to fulfil their intended purpose.

Counterparty credit risk
CCR risk arises for derivatives and SFTs. It is calculated in both the trading and non-trading books, and is the risk that a counterparty may default before settlement of the transaction. CCR is generated primarily in our wholesale global businesses.
 
Four approaches may be used under CRD IV to calculate exposure values for CCR: mark-to-market, original exposure, standardised and IMM. Exposure values calculated under these approaches are used to determine RWAs. Across the Group, we use the mark-to-market and IMM approaches.

Prior to the implementation of SA-CCR, exposures reported here will be those under the mark-to-market method.
The changes in exposures under the mark-to-market and IMM approaches in Table 24 and the movements between standardised and advanced CVA within Table 25 principally reflect the implementation of IMM in Asia and the US.

HSBC Holdings plc

 
 
 
Securitisation
HSBC acts as originator, sponsor, liquidity provider and derivative counterparty to our own originated and sponsored securitisations, as well as those of third parties. Our strategy is to use securitisation to meet our needs for aggregate funding or capital management, to the extent that market, regulatory treatments and other conditions are suitable, and for customer facilitation.
 
We do not provide support to any of our originated or sponsored securitisations, and it is not our policy to do so.
We have senior exposures to three securities investment conduits ('SICs'): Mazarin Funding Limited, Barion Funding Limited and Malachite Funding Limited. We also hold all of the commercial paper issued by Solitaire Funding Limited. These are considered legacy businesses, and exposures are being repaid as the securities they hold amortise.

Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018
 
 
 
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that movements in market factors, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices and commodity prices, will reduce our income or the value of our portfolios.
Exposure to market risk is separated into two portfolios:
  
trading portfolios comprise positions arising from market-making; and
 
  
non-trading portfolios comprise positions that primarily arise from the interest rate management of our retail and commercial banking assets and liabilities, financial investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, debt instruments measured at amortised cost, and exposures arising from our insurance operations.
There were no material changes to the policies and practices for the management of market risk. A summary of our current policies and practices for the management of market risk is set out in 'Market risk' on page 56 of the Pillar 3 Disclosures at31 December 2017.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-
looking statements
These Pillar 3 Disclosures at 30 June 2018 contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to HSBC's financial condition, results of operations and business, including the strategic priorities and 2020 financial, investment and capital targets described herein.
Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about HSBC's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as 'expects', 'targets', 'anticipates', 'intends', 'plans', 'believes', 'seeks', 'estimates', 'potential' and 'reasonably possible', variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. HSBC makes no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring or existing after the date of any forward-looking statements.
Written and/or oral forward-looking statements may also be made in the periodic reports to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, summary financial statements to shareholders, proxy statements, offering circulars and prospectuses, press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by HSBC's Directors, officers or employees to third parties, including financial analysts.
 
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that a number of factors could cause actual results to differ, in some instances materially, from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statement. These include, but are not limited to:
  
Changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, such as continuing or deepening recessions and fluctuations in employment beyond those factored into consensus forecasts; changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; volatility in equity markets; lack of liquidity in wholesale funding markets; illiquidity and downward price pressure in national real estate markets; adverse changes in central banks' policies with respect to the provision of liquidity support to financial markets; heightened market concerns over sovereign creditworthiness in over-indebted countries; adverse changes in the funding status of public or private defined benefit pensions; consumer perception as to the continuing availability of credit and price competition in the market segments we serve; and deviations from the market and economic assumptions that form the basis for our ECL measurements.
  
Changes in government policy and regulation, including the monetary, interest rate and other policies of central banks and other regulatory authorities; initiatives to change the size, scope of activities and interconnectedness of financial institutions in connection with the implementation of stricter regulation of financial institutions in key markets worldwide; revised capital and liquidity benchmarks which could serve to deleverage bank balance sheets and lower returns available from the current business model and portfolio mix; imposition of levies or taxes designed to change business mix and risk appetite; the practices, pricing or responsibilities of financial institutions serving their consumer markets; expropriation, nationalisation, confiscation of assets and changes in legislation relating to foreign ownership; changes in bankruptcy legislation in the principal markets in which we operate and the consequences thereof; general changes in government policy that may significantly influence investor decisions; extraordinary government actions as a result of current market turmoil; other unfavourable political or diplomatic developments producing social instability or legal uncertainty which in turn may affect demand for our products and services; the costs, effects and outcomes of product regulatory reviews, actions or litigation, including any additional compliance requirements; and the effects of competition in the markets where we operate including increased competition from non-bank financial services companies, including securities firms.
  
Factors specific to HSBC, including our success in adequately identifying the risks we face, such as the incidence of loan losses or delinquency, and managing those risks (through account management, hedging and other techniques). Effective risk management depends on, among other things, our ability through stress testing and other techniques to prepare for events that cannot be captured by the statistical models it uses; our success in addressing operational, legal and regulatory, and litigation challenges; and the other risks and uncertainties we identify in 'top and emerging risks' on pages 16 and 17 of the Interim Report 2018.
