Geographical zone of issue: This should show a breakdown of asset category by issuer geographical zone.<br />

This is to identify the geographical zone of the security category, using the following closed list of<br />

geographical zones:<br />

� EEA<br />

� OECD (non-EEA)<br />

� RoW (rest of the world)<br />

Currency – local or foreign: This identifies whether the currency of the asset category is local or foreign<br />

currency. The local currency is the currency in which the syndicate prepares its financial statements i.e. GBP.<br />

All other currencies are referred to as foreign currencies.<br />

Total amount: This is the total invested amount in the asset category. This corresponds to the amount<br />

invested by asset category through investment funds. For liabilities it should be negative.<br />

Level of look-through: This indicates the level of look-through performed and selection should be as<br />

follows:<br />

� Standard(S) – look-through is performed by main asset categories, main geographical zones and<br />

currency (local or foreign)<br />

� Mandate (M) – where investment funds are not sufficiently transparent, investment mandates should be<br />

used<br />

� Other (O) – If the above is not achievable, the funds should be split as “global equity” (if the fund invests<br />

only in EEA or OECD) or “other”.<br />

3.8 QAD237:Securities lending and repos<br />

Purpose of form: This form reports information on the syndicate’s exposures to repurchase agreements<br />

(repos) and securities lending operations.<br />

This form is required for all years combined and will be required on an annual basis.<br />

There should one line by security lending or repo contract with a distinction, for each contract, by asset<br />

category (and not by asset being concerned). This should include all contracts in the reporting period and not<br />

only the ones still open at the reporting date. However, contracts which are part of a roll-over strategy, where<br />

they substantially are the same transaction, only open positions should be included in the form.<br />

Type of repo/securities lending: This identifies whether a contract is a repurchase agreement or securities<br />

lending. A repo (repurchase agreement) is defined as the sale of securities together with an agreement for<br />

the seller to buy back the securities at a later date while securities lending is defined as the lending of<br />

securities by one party to another, which requires that the borrower provides the lender with collateral.<br />

Collateral type: This should be reported by asset category as defined in the CIC table i.e. 1, 2, 3, A, B…etc.<br />

Near leg amount: This is the amount received or ceded at the contract inception.<br />

Far leg amount: This is the amount received or ceded at the contract maturity.<br />

Weight in total exposures: This is the percentage value of the far leg contract in the total exposures to<br />

repos or securities lending.<br />

Maturity date: This is the contract closing date. Even if the contract is on an open call basis, there is<br />

normally a date when the contract expires. In these cases this date must be reported, if no call occurs before.<br />

An agreement is considered closed when it has matured, a call occurs or the agreement is cancelled.<br />
