AI Summary of Article 132 Own funds requirements for exposures in the form of units or shares in CIUs

This article mandates that institutions determine the risk-weighted exposure amounts for their holdings in collective investment undertakings (CIUs) via established calculation methods, specifically referencing the look-through and mandate-based approaches when conditions are satisfied. A fallback approach applies a risk weight of 1,250% for those not employing these methods.

CIUs eligible for favourable treatment must meet criteria regarding their regulatory framework and compliance with reporting obligations. Institutions may rely on third-party calculations under stringent conditions, with additional measures applied to ensure regulatory compliance. Moreover, specific caps and measures govern multi-level CIU exposures, ensuring a robust risk management framework.
