The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) has today informed Avanza of its decision regarding the 2023 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). Avanza’s Pillar 2 guidance on the leverage ratio decreased from 0.9 to 0.5%. The total leverage ratio requirement thereby amounts to 3.5%. Additionally, the risk-based Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) is increased from 3.6 to 5.71%, which increases Avanza’s total risk-based requirement from 16.1 to 18.2%.
The Swedish FSA has concluded its SREP of Avanza and decided on a Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) on Avanza’s consolidated situation consisting of Avanza Bank Holding AB, Avanza Bank AB and Avanza Fonder AB.
Avanza’s leverage ratio requirement as per June amounted to 5.4% and the total capital requirement to 28.2%, which means that Avanza has a good margin to both the leverage ratio, including P2G, and the total capital requirement including risk-based P2R. The decision means that Avanza’s capitalisation may be governed by the risk-based capital requirement.
The decision is applicable as per 29 September 2023.
