The rule in plain words

'Contribution to Leverage Exposure Measure (period end)' for 'Agency repo activity in which agent provides no guarantee' amount must be higher than or equal to 0

In (LR8) Treatment of agency repurchase transactions (LV51.00.00.01): "Agency repo activity in which agent provides no guarantee" in column "Contribution to Leverage Exposure Measure (period end)" (row 0020, column 0030) must not be negative.

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark LV51.00.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
