Cash

Responsive image

Under Solvency II and some other regimes, cash is subject to capital charge if the issuing country / custodian does not have a sufficiently high credit rating.

The SCR Calculator computes capital for cash using an internal database of country ratings from the Big Three rating agencies.

In other regimes, cash may be assigned the credit rating of either the custodian institution or the issuing country. If the country's rating is low, cash can incur a significant capital charge.

About

The SCR Calculator can be used for single asset or portfolio solvency capital requirement calculations under multiple jurisdictions, and both asset-class-level and line-level portfolio optimisations.
