The rule in plain words
Total CVA RWAs for SFTs represent the sum of RWAs for SFTs calculated under each CVA approach
In column "CVA RWAs of which: Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs) only" (0020) of Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03): "All exposures subject to CVA capital requirements" (row 0010) must equal the sum of "of which, using the SA-CVA" (row 0020), "of which, using the full BA-CVA" (row 0030) and "of which, using the reduced BA-CVA" (row 0040).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
- 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.03 as reported.
- 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The Bank’s own words and formula
The first paragraph of the plain words above is the Bank of England’s own, word for word, from its list of validations. The second spells out its formula, with each cell named from its templates.

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.
{t: OF25.01.01.03, r: 0010, c: 0020} = sum({t: OF25.01.01.03, r: 0020; 0030; 0040, c: 0020})Other rules on Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03)
- SFTs CVA Capital requirements are calculated as 8% * SFT RWAs (boe_b0201)
- SFTs Capital requirements under the SA-CVA approach represent 8% of SA-CVA RWAs subject to SFTs and must be greater than or equal to zero (boe_b0201_2)
- SFTs Capital Requirements under the Full-BA-CVA method represent 8% of CVA RWAs and must be greater than or equal to zero (boe_b0201_3)
- BA-CVA Capital requirements for SFTs represent 8% of RWAs under SFTs, and must be positive values or zero (boe_b0201_4)
- CVA Capital Requirements must be populated. Only positive values or zero are allowed (boe_b0201_7)
- Total CVA Capital requirements for SFTs represent the sum of SFTs capital requirements under each CVA modelling approach (boe_b0203)Blocking
