Market Risk Under CRD VI / CRR III: Capital Requirements for the Trading Book

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD VI) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR III) define the own funds requirements for market risk in the trading book of European credit institutions. Following the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), new calculation approaches take effect from 2027: the Alternative Standardised Approach (A-SA), the Alternative Internal Model Approach (A-IMA), and the Simplified Standardised Approach (SSA).

Our service portfolio in CRD/CRR market risk covers end-to-end support from gap analysis to production implementation. We advise credit institutions on selecting the appropriate calculation approach (A-SA, A-IMA, SSA), model development and validation, and adapting governance structures and IT architectures to FRTB requirements.
