Market risk: ASA equity risk (AS5 EQ): total negative unweighted delta senitivities of equity risk (OF91.05.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0420)

A blocking check on the market risk: ASA equity risk (AS5 EQ) template (OF91.05.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Total negative unweighted delta senitivities of equity risk

In Market risk: ASA equity risk (AS5 EQ) (OF91.05.01.01): every value in 17 rows (listed below) in column "Negative" (column 0020) must be zero or less.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF91.05.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
