Errata
The Federal Reserve revised this report on March 24, 2014, to address inconsistencies in the treatment of the
fourth quarter 2013 actual capital actions and assumptions about preferred and employee compensation-related
issuance over the course of the planning horizon. A minor technical correction was also made to tier 2 capital.
The changes do not affect the projections of pre-provision net revenue, other revenue, provisions, loan losses
and loan loss rates, realized losses/gains on securities, trading and counterparty losses, other losses/gains, net
income before taxes, other comprehensive income, or accumulated other comprehensive income included in
capital.
The revisions are shown in the tables found in new Appendix E and are reflected in the following tables and
figures republished in this revised version of the report:
Tables 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and C.1.A through C.30.B
Figures 9, 10, 15, and 16
In addition, the following revisions were made to the text in this report:
On page 23, column 2, first full paragraph, the second sentence was incorrect in the report published on
March 20, 2014, and should have read “Overall, the total amount of tier 1 common capital held by the 30
BHCs is estimated to fall $286 billion, or about 30 percent, from the third quarter of 2013 to the end of 2015
under the severely adverse scenario.” Due to the subsequent revision of the report, the first number in this sentence has been revised to $283 billion.
On page 23, column 2, first full paragraph, the numbers in the third sentence have been revised from 2.3 percentage points and 4.1 percentage points to 2.5 percentage points and 4.6 percentage points, respectively.
On page 39, column 1, first full paragraph, the second sentence was incorrect in the report published on
March 20, 2014, and should have read “Overall, the total amount of tier 1 common capital held by the 30
BHCs is estimated to increase by $2.8 billion, or less than 1 percent, from the third quarter of 2013 to the end
of 2015 under the adverse scenario.” Due to the subsequent revision of the report, the numbers in this sentence
have been revised to $5.9 billion and 1 percent, respectively.
On page 39, column 1, first full paragraph, the numbers in the fourth sentence have been revised from 1.8 and
2.0 percentage points to 2.2 and 2.5 percentage points, respectively.
On page 39, column 1, first full paragraph, the number in the fifth sentence has been revised from 0.9 percentage point to 1.1 percentage point.

Executive Summary

The Federal Reserve expects large, complex bank
holding companies (BHCs) to have sufficient capital
to continue lending to support real economic activity
while meeting their financial obligations, even under
stressful economic conditions. Stress testing is one
tool that helps bank supervisors measure whether a
BHC has enough capital to support its operations
throughout periods of stress. The Federal Reserve
previously highlighted its use of stress testing as a
means to assess a financial institution’s capital sufficiency during periods of stress with its 2009 Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (SCAP) and since
2011 through the annual Comprehensive Capital
Analysis and Review (CCAR) exercise.1
In the wake of the 2007–09 financial crisis, the Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).2
The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to
conduct an annual stress test of large BHCs and all
nonbank financial companies designated by the
Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) for
Federal Reserve supervision.The Federal Reserve in
the annual stress test is to evaluate whether these
companies have sufficient capital to absorb losses
resulting from stressful economic and financial market conditions. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires
BHCs and other financial companies supervised by
the Federal Reserve to conduct their own stress tests.
Together, the Dodd-Frank Act supervisory stress
tests and the company-run stress tests are intended to
provide company management and boards of directors, the public, and supervisors with forwardlooking information to help gauge the potential effect

The CCAR is an annual exercise by the Federal Reserve to
ensure that institutions have robust, forward-looking capital
planning processes that account for their unique risks and sufficient capital to continue operations throughout times of economic and financial stress. As part of the CCAR, the Federal
Reserve evaluates institutions’ capital adequacy, internal capital
adequacy assessment processes, and their plans to make capital
distributions, such as dividend payments or stock repurchases,
and other actions that affect capital.
See 12 USC 5365(i)(1).

of stressful conditions on capital adequacy of these
large banking organizations.
The Federal Reserve adopted rules implementing
these requirements in October 2012.3 Last year, to
allow a phase-in of the provisions of the Federal
Reserve’s Dodd-Frank Act stress test (DFAST) rules,
only the 18 BHCs that previously participated in the
SCAP were required to conduct company-run stress
tests and were subject to the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress test. During the current stress test cycle
(DFAST 2014), which began on October 1, 2013, the
Federal Reserve has conducted supervisory stress
tests on all BHCs with $50 billion or more in total
consolidated assets, a total of 30 BHCs, using scenarios that the Federal Reserve designed (supervisory
scenarios).4 These BHCs were also required to conduct company-run stress tests under the supervisory
scenarios. Both the supervisory and company-run
stress tests are also integrated into the Federal

See 12 CFR Part 252.
The 30 BHCs that participated in the 2014 Dodd-Frank Act
stress test are Ally Financial Inc.; American Express Company;
Bank of America Corporation; The Bank of New York Mellon
Corporation; BB&T Corporation; BBVA Compass Bancshares,
Inc.; BMO Financial Corp.; Capital One Financial Corporation; Citigroup, Inc.; Comerica Incorporated; Discover Financial Services; Fifth Third Bancorp; The Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc.; HSBC North America Holdings Inc.; Huntington Bancshares Inc.; JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Keycorp; M&T Bank Corporation; Morgan Stanley; Northern Trust Corp.; The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc.; RBS Citizens Financial Group,
Inc.; Regions Financial Corporation; Santander Holdings USA,
Inc.; State Street Corporation; SunTrust Banks, Inc.; U.S. Bancorp; UnionBanCal Corp.; Wells Fargo & Company; and Zions
Bancorp. TD Bank US Holding Company and BancWest Corporation are not subject to Dodd-Frank Act stress testing until
October 1, 2015, under the Board’s stress test rule. See 12 CFR
252.43(a)(3). In addition, Deutsche Bank Trust Corporation has
received an extension from compliance with the stress test rule
until June 30, 2014. In 2013, the FSOC designated three nonbank financial companies for consolidated supervision by the
Federal Reserve and enhanced prudential standards: American
International Group, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation, Inc., and Prudential Financial, Inc. All nonbank covered
companies designated by the FSOC will be required to conduct
their first stress test in the calendar year after the year in which
the company becomes subject to the Board’s minimum regulatory capital requirements, unless the Board accelerates or
extends the compliance date.

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

Reserve’s assessment of capital adequacy under
CCAR.
This report describes hypothetical, stressful macroeconomic and financial market scenarios designed by
the Federal Reserve; provides an overview of the analytical framework and methods used to generate the
projections of balance sheets, net income, and the
resulting post-stress capital ratios for each of the 30
BHCs; and discloses the results of the 2014 DoddFrank Act supervisory stress test. The Federal
Reserve introduced several key changes and improvements to the DFAST in 2014. Specifically, this year,
the Federal Reserve independently projected the balance sheet and risk-weighted assets (RWAs) of each
BHC that participated in the stress test. By comparison, in past supervisory stress tests, the Federal
Reserve used the balance sheet and RWA projections
provided by each BHC in its company-run stress test.
This improvement promotes greater comparability of
the supervisory stress tests across BHCs. Also this
year, the Federal Reserve incorporated into DFAST
the revised regulatory capital framework that implements the Basel III regulatory capital reforms. The
capital ratios calculated in the stress test reflect the
phase-in of the revised capital framework. Finally, in
this report, the Federal Reserve is disclosing the
results of the supervisory stress test conducted under
the adverse scenario for each company, in addition to
the results under the severely adverse scenario that
were disclosed in previous stress tests. The adverse
scenario contains valuable information about a different set of conditions that can pose a risk to capital
adequacy at the BHCs.
The disclosure of stress test results informs market
participants and the public, enhances transparency,
and promotes market discipline. The projections provide a horizontal perspective on the capital positions
of these firms by incorporating detailed information
about the risk characteristics associated with each
BHC’s business activities and by using a consistent
approach across all the BHCs. This approach helps to
facilitate a comparison of results across firms. The
Federal Reserve also believes that providing information about the methodology used to produce the
results offers useful context to interpret those results.
The projections in DFAST were calculated using input
data provided by the 30 BHCs and a set of models

developed or selected by the Federal Reserve5 and are
based on hypothetical, stressful macroeconomic and
financial market scenarios developed by the Federal
Reserve. The severely adverse scenario features a deep
recession in the United States, Europe, and Japan, significant declines in asset prices and increases in risk
premia, and a marked economic slowdown in developing Asia. The adverse scenario is characterized by a
weakening in economic activity across all of the economies included in the scenario, combined with a global
aversion to long-term fixed-income assets, that brings
about rapid rises in long-term rates and steepening
yield curves in the United States and globally. In addition to the two common sets of macroeconomic scenarios, a subset of BHCs was also subject to two additional components of the adverse and severely adverse
scenarios—namely, the global market shock and counterparty default components. The global market shock
was applied to six BHCs with large trading and
private-equity exposures.6 The counterparty default
component, under which the BHC’s largest counterparty is assumed to default, was applied to eight BHCs
with substantial trading or custodial operations.7
The models used in DFAST project the balance
sheet, net income, and resulting post-stress capital
ratios for each BHC over a nine-quarter planning
horizon starting in the fourth quarter of 2013 and
extending through the end of 2015. The Federal
Reserve’s projections should not be interpreted as
expected or likely outcomes for these firms but rather
as possible results under hypothetical, stressful conditions. These projections incorporate a number of
conservative modeling assumptions but do not make
explicit behavioral assumptions about the possible
actions of a BHC’s creditors and counterparties in
the scenario, except through the scenario’s character-

Group, Inc.; JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Morgan Stanley; and

The projections reflect assumptions about capital distributions prescribed in the Dodd-Frank Act stress test
rule. For the first quarter of the planning horizon,
capital actions for each BHC are assumed to be the
actual actions taken by the BHC during that quarter.
Over the remaining eight quarters of the planning
horizon, each BHC is assumed to maintain its common stock dividend payments at the same level as the
quarterly average in the previous year (that is, the first
quarter of the planning horizon and the preceding
three calendar quarters) and pay scheduled dividend,
interest, or principal payments on any other capital
instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a
regulatory capital ratio. However, repurchases of such
capital instruments and issuance of stock is assumed
to be zero except for common-stock issuance associated with expensed employee compensation.8
The results of these projections suggest that, in the
aggregate, the 30 BHCs would experience substantial
losses under both the adverse and the severely
adverse scenarios. Over the nine quarters of the planning horizon, losses at the 30 BHCs under the
severely adverse scenario are projected to be $501 billion, including losses across loan portfolios, losses
from credit impairment on securities held in the
BHCs’ investment portfolios, trading and counterparty credit losses from the global market shock, and
other losses. Projected net revenue before provisions
for loan and lease losses (pre-provision net revenue,
or PPNR) at the 30 BHCs over the nine quarters of
the planning horizon under the severely adverse scenario is $316 billion, which is net of $151 billion of
losses related to operational-risk events and mortgage
repurchases, and expenses related to disposition of
owned real estate. Losses from operational-risk
events include potential costs from unfavorable litigation outcomes and reflect elevated litigation risk and
the associated increase in legal reserves observed in
recent years. Taken together, the high projected losses
and low projected PPNR at the 30 BHCs results in
projected net income before taxes of -$217 billion
under the severely adverse scenario.
These net income projections result in substantial projected declines in regulatory capital ratios for nearly all
of the BHCs under the severely adverse scenario. For
BHCs with total consolidated assets greater than
$250 billion and those with significant foreign expo8

sures (advanced approaches BHCs9), the decline in
regulatory capital ratios, except for the tier 1 common
ratio, in part reflects the gradual phasing-in of adjustments to Tier 1 capital for certain accumulated other

capital framework starting in 2014 (see box 1). Fair

As illustrated in figure 1, the aggregate tier 1 common ratio would fall from an actual 11.5 percent in
the third quarter of 2013 to a post-stress level of
7.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decline
in part reflects assumed capital actions prescribed in

scenario, these losses include losses across loan portfolios, losses from credit impairment on securities
held in the BHCs’ investment portfolios, trading and
counterparty credit losses from the global market
shock, and other losses. Projected PPNR at the 30
BHCs over the nine quarters of the planning horizon
under the adverse scenario is $444 billion, which is
net of $130 billion in losses related to operationalrisk events and mortgage repurchases, and expenses
related to disposition of owned real estate. Losses
from operational-risk events under the adverse scenario also reflect elevated litigation risk. Projected
PPNR under the adverse scenario is about 40 percent
higher than under the severely adverse scenario,
largely due to the much steeper yield curve assumed
in the scenario. Projected net income before taxes

totals $92 billion at the 30 BHCs, under the adverse
scenario.
These positive net income projections are in part offset by negative AOCI for advanced approaches BHCs
over the planning horizon, which combined result in
moderate projected declines over the planning period
in the aggregate regulatory capital ratios across the
30 BHCs. Fair value losses on AFS securities lead to
-$103 billion in other comprehensive income for
advanced approaches BHCs. Under the adverse scenario, the aggregate tier 1 common ratio would fall
180 basis points to its minimum over the planning
horizon of 9.7 percent and be 70 basis points lower
for a post-stress level of 10.8 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2015.

Dodd-Frank Act Stress Testing

To provide context to the Federal Reserve’s DoddFrank Act supervisory stress test results, the following sections contain an overview of the Federal
Reserve’s Dodd-Frank Act stress test rules, focusing
on the process for the supervisory stress tests and the
requirements for company-run stress tests for covered
companies.10

Supervisory Stress Tests
Under the Federal Reserve’s Dodd-Frank Act stress
test rules, the Federal Reserve conducts annual supervisory stress tests to evaluate whether a covered company has the capital, on a total consolidated basis,
necessary to absorb losses and continue its operations by maintaining ready access to funding, meeting its obligations to creditors and other counterparties, and continuing to serve as a credit intermediary
under stressful economic and financial market conditions. As part of this supervisory stress test for each
company, the Federal Reserve projects the balance
sheet, net income, and resulting post-stress capital
levels, regulatory capital ratios, and the tier 1 common ratio under three scenarios (baseline, adverse,
and severely adverse) using data as of September 30.
The stress test rules feature a common set of scenarios for all companies in the supervisory stress test.
However, the Federal Reserve may use additional scenarios or components of scenarios for all or a subset
of the companies to capture salient sources of risk,
and these scenarios may use data from dates other
than the end of the third quarter. This year, the Federal Reserve applied the global market shock to six
BHCs with large trading and private equity exposures and a counterparty default component to eight
BHCs with substantial trading and custodial
operations.
10

A ‘‘covered company’’ includes any bank holding company with
total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more and each nonbank financial company that the Financial Stability Oversight
Council has designated for supervision by the Board.

Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal
Reserve to disclose a summary of the results of its
supervisory stress test.11

Company-Run Stress Tests
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal
Reserve’s stress test rules covered companies to conduct two company-run stress tests each year. In conducting the “annual” test, covered companies use
data as of September 30 and reports their stress test
results to the Federal Reserve by January 5.12 In
addition, covered companies must conduct a “midcycle” test and report the results to the Federal
Reserve by July 5. The Dodd-Frank Act stress test
rules align the timing of annual company-run stress
tests with the annual supervisory stress tests of covered companies.
In their annual stress tests, covered companies must
use the scenarios provided by the Federal Reserve.
Each year, the Federal Reserve will provide at least
three scenarios—baseline, adverse, and severely
adverse—that are identical to the scenarios the Federal
Reserve uses in the annual supervisory stress tests of
companies.13 By providing a common set of scenarios
to all companies, the results of company-run and
supervisory stress tests will be comparable across com11
12

13

12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(1)(B)(v).
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, all financial companies with more
than $10 billion in total consolidated assets that are supervised
by a primary federal financial regulatory agency are required to
conduct an annual company-run stress test. However, only the
covered companies are subject to the additional mid-cycle stress
test and the supervisory stress test. For the stress test cycle that
began October 1, 2013, there are 37 bank and thrift subsidiaries
of the covered companies that are conducting Dodd-Frank Act
stress tests under rules separately finalized by the Board, the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Apart from the covered company subsidiaries, there are an additional 42 BHCs and 57
banks and thrifts with between $10 and $50 billion in assets and
4 banks and thrifts with $50 billion or greater in assets conducting Dodd-Frank Act stress tests under those rules.
Under the stress test rules, the Federal Reserve will provide the
scenarios to companies no later than November 15 each year.
See 12 CFR 252.54(b)(1); 12 CFR 252.14(b)(1).

panies. To further enhance comparability, the supervisory stress tests and company-run stress tests conducted under the Dodd-Frank Act stress test rules use
the same capital action assumptions.14
14

12 CFR 252.156(b).

Finally, each covered company must publicly disclose
a summary of the results of its company-run stress
test under the severely adverse scenario provided by
the Federal Reserve.

7

Supervisory Scenarios

On November 1, 2013, the Federal Reserve released
three supervisory stress-test scenarios: baseline,
adverse, and severely adverse.15 This section describes
the adverse and severely adverse scenarios that are
the basis for the projections contained in this report.
These scenarios were developed in a manner consistent with the Board’s Policy Statement on the Scenario Design Framework for Stress Testing.16
It is important to note that the adverse and severely
adverse scenarios are not forecasts, but rather hypothetical scenarios designed to assess the strength of
banking organizations and their resilience to an
adverse economic environment. The severely adverse
scenario is characterized by a substantial weakening
in economic activity across all of the economies
included in the scenario. In addition, the scenario
features a significant reversal of recent improvements
to the U.S. housing market and the euro area outlook. The adverse scenario is characterized by a
weakening in economic activity across all of the
economies included in the scenario, combined with a
global aversion to long-term fixed-income assets that
brings about rapid rises in long-term rates and steepening yield curves in the United States and in the
four countries or country blocks (the euro area, the
United Kingdom, developing Asia, and Japan) represented in the scenario.
Both scenarios include trajectories for 28 variables.
These include 16 variables that capture economic
activity, asset prices, and interest rates in the U.S.
economy and financial markets and three variables
(real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, inflation, and the U.S./foreign currency exchange rate) in
each of the four countries/country blocks.

scenarios.

Severely Adverse Scenario
Figures 2 through 6 illustrate the hypothetical
trajectories for some of the key variables describing
U.S. economic activity and asset prices as well as
global economic growth under the severely adverse
scenario. As the figures show, real GDP declines
nearly 4¾ percent between the third quarter of 2013
and the end of 2014; over this period, the fourquarter percent change in the consumer price index
(CPI) declines to less than 1 percent before moving
back up to 1½ percent from the end of 2015 through
2016. The unemployment rate increases 4 percentage
points from the third quarter of 2013, peaking at
11¼ percent in the middle of 2015. Equity prices fall
nearly 50 percent over the course of the recession,
and the equity market volatility index reaches a peak
of 68 percent. House prices decline 25 percent during
the scenario period, while commercial real estate
prices decline nearly 35 percent at their trough. A
slow recovery takes hold in 2015, and real GDP
expands 2 percent that year and nearly 4 percent in
2016. The international component of the severely
adverse scenario features recessions in the euro area,
the United Kingdom, and Japan and below-trend
growth in developing Asia.
The severely adverse scenario is similar to the 2013
severely adverse scenario. As compared with last
year’s severely adverse scenario, this year’s severely
adverse scenario features a larger decline in U.S.
house prices, a lower peak U.S. unemployment rate,
and a more substantial slowdown in developing Asia
and, as a consequence, Japan.

Adverse Scenario
Figures 2 through 5 and 7 illustrate the hypothetical
trajectories for some of the key variables describing
U.S. economic activity and asset prices as well as
global economic growth under the adverse scenario.
As the figures show, the level of real GDP declines
approximately 1 percent between the third quarter of
2013 and the end of 2014; over this period, the unem-

Global Market Shock and
Counterparty Default Component
The stress test results for six BHCs with large trading
and private-equity exposures include the effect of a
global market shock on the value of these positions
in the adverse and severely adverse scenarios.17 In
addition, the results of the same six BHCs and two
other BHCs with substantial trading or custodial
operations include the losses that may arise from the
default of the BHC’s largest counterparty (counterparty default component) in the adverse and severely
adverse scenarios.18 Under the counterparty default
component, the global market shock extends to

results in a sharp increase in the yield on the longterm Treasury bond to 5¾ percent by the end of
2014. With short-term interest rates flat, this increase
results in a steepening of the yield curve of approximately 300 basis points by the end of 2014.

See 12 CFR 252.44(b); see also 12 CFR 252.54(b)(2)(i).
On September 30, 2013, the Federal Reserve notified eight
BHCs with significant trading or custodial operations that they
would be subject to a counterparty default component. Under
the Dodd-Frank stress testing rule, within 14 calendar days of
receipt of the notification, the BHCs may request in writing
that the Board reconsider the requirement that the BHC include
additional components or additional scenarios in its stress test,

BHCs’ counterparty exposures to project potential
losses from the default of their largest counterparty.19 The Federal Reserve published the global
market shocks for the adverse and severely adverse
scenarios on November 12, 2013; the as-of date for
positions and exposures for the global market shock
and the counterparty default was October 16, 2013.
The global market shock is a set of one-time, hypothetical shocks to a broad range of risk factors. Generally, these shocks involve large and sudden changes
in asset prices, rates, and spreads, reflecting general
market stress and heightened uncertainty.20
The global market shock for the severely adverse scenario is built around four key themes. First, globally,
government and sovereign yield curves undergo
marked shifts in level and shape. In most advanced
economies, long-term rates rise sharply while shortterm rates remain essentially unchanged. In emerging
economies and peripheral euro economies, both

19

20

and the Board will respond to the BHC in writing within 14 calendar days of receipt of the BHCs request.
The largest counterparty is selected based on the net stressed
exposures across derivative and securities financing transactions. Net stressed exposures are calculated by revaluing exposures and collateral using the global market shock.

short-term and long-term rates rise. Second, spreads
on emerging market sovereign and corporate bonds
widen, reflecting credit shocks that are more severe
than those experienced during the second half of
2008. Third, the euro area experiences a credit crisis,
manifested by sharp increases in government yields
and various credit spreads. Finally, market moves in

all other asset classes and risk factors closely mirror
the experience of the second half of 2008.
The global market shock for the adverse scenario
consists of market moves that are, by and large, similar in structure but not as severe as those assumed in
the severely adverse scenario.

11

Supervisory Stress Test Framework and
Model Methodology

Analytical Framework
The effect of the supervisory scenarios on the regulatory capital ratios of the 30 BHCs is estimated by
projecting the balance sheet, RWAs, and net income
for each BHC over a nine-quarter planning horizon
ending in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Projected net income is combined with the capital
action assumptions prescribed in the Federal
Reserve’s Dodd-Frank Act stress test rules to project
changes in equity capital. Changes in equity capital
drive changes in regulatory capital, which combined
with projected RWAs and assets, determine changes
in regulatory capital ratios. This approach is consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and regulatory capital rules and provides a perspective on the capital of the BHCs and
on the primary determinants of the projected
changes in capital over time (earnings and capital
actions).
Projected net income for the 30 BHCs is generated
from individual projections of revenue, expenses, and
various types of losses and provisions that flow into
pre-tax net income, including:
• loan losses and changes in the allowance for loan
and lease losses (ALLL);
• losses on loans held for sale (HFS) and measured
under the fair-value option (FVO);
• other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses
on investment securities;
• expenses related to operational-risk events, including potential costs from unfavorable litigation
outcomes;
• expenses related to the disposition of foreclosed
properties;
• expenses related to demands by mortgage investors
to repurchase loans deemed to have breached representations and warranties or related to litigation
(mortgage repurchase/put-back losses);

• for BHCs with large trading and private equity
exposures, losses on those exposures resulting from
a global market shock; and,
• for BHCs with substantial trading or custodial
operations, losses from the default of their largest
counterparty.
Projected pre-tax net income, in turn, flows into a
calculation of regulatory capital measures that
accounts for taxes and deductions that limit the recognition of certain intangible assets and impose
other restrictions, as specified in U.S. regulatory capital guidelines.21 The projections incorporate changes
in the calculation of regulatory capital over the planning horizon as phased in under the Board’s revised
regulatory capital framework. Figure 8 illustrates the
framework used to calculate changes in net income
and regulatory capital.
The framework begins with a projection of PPNR,
which equals projected net interest income plus noninterest income minus noninterest expense. Consistent with U.S. GAAP, the PPNR projection incorporates projected losses generated by operational-risk
events such as fraud, computer system or other operating disruptions, and litigation-related costs; mortgage repurchase losses; and expenses related to the
disposition of foreclosed properties (other real estate
owned (OREO) expenses).
The PPNR projection flows into the projection of
pre-tax net income, which equals the PPNR projection, plus other revenue, minus provisions to the
ALLL, OTTI losses on securities, losses on trading
and counterparty positions from the global market
shock, losses from the largest counterparty default,
and losses on loans held for sale and measured under
the fair-value option. Net income projections also
incorporate extraordinary items.
Provisions for loan and lease losses equal projected
loan losses for the quarter plus the amount needed

Because the loss projections follow U.S. GAAP and
regulatory guidelines, they incorporate any differences in the way these guidelines recognize income
and losses based upon where assets are held on the
BHCs’ balance sheets. As a result, losses projected
for similar or identical assets held in different portfolios can sometimes differ. For example, losses on
loans held in accrual portfolios equal credit losses
due to failure to pay obligations (cash flow losses
resulting in net charge-offs). For similar loans that
are held for sale, projected losses represent the change
in the market value on the underlying asset under the
supervisory scenarios.

for the ALLL to be at an appropriate level at the end
of the quarter, which is a function of projected future
loan losses. The amount of provisions over and
above loan losses may be negative—representing a
drawdown of the ALLL (an ALLL release, increasing net income)—or positive— representing a need to
build the ALLL (an additional provision, decreasing
net income) during the quarter.
Projected loan losses for the quarter are estimated
separately for different categories of loans, based on
the type of obligor (e.g., consumer or commercial
and industrial), collateral (e.g., residential real estate,
commercial real estate), loan structure (e.g., revolving
credit lines), and accounting treatment (accrual or
fair value). These categories generally follow the
major regulatory report classifications, though some
loss projections are made for more granular loan cat-

Both changes in the fair value of AFS securities and
OTTI losses on securities are projected over the ninequarter planning horizon. Under U.S. GAAP,
changes in the fair value of AFS securities are
reflected in changes in AOCI but do not flow
through net income. For DFAST, AOCI is gradually
phased into the calculation of tier 1 capital for
advanced approaches BHCs starting in 2014, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules (for
more information on OCI and AOCI in DFAST
2014, see box 1). In addition, if a security becomes
OTTI then all or a portion of the difference between
the fair value and amortized cost of the security must
be recognized in earnings.23 Consistent with U.S.
GAAP, OTTI projections incorporate other-thantemporary differences between book value and fair
value due to credit impairment. The projections,
however, do not incorporate differences reflecting
changes in liquidity or market conditions. As with
the accrual loan portfolio, loss projections for different categories of securities are made based on obligor, collateral or underlying cash flow, and security
structure. These categories include various types of
securitized obligations (e.g., commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities), corporate bonds,
municipal bonds, and sovereign bonds.

Box 1. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Regulatory Capital
BHCs with total consolidated assets of $250 billion
or more or on-balance-sheet foreign exposures of
$10 billion or more (advanced approaches BHCs)
must include a percentage of certain accumulated
other comprehensive income (AOCI) items in their
regulatory capital beginning in the second quarter of
the planning horizon (the first quarter of 2014).
Under the transition provisions of the revised capital
framework, regulatory capital for advanced
approaches BHCs must include 20 percent of eligible AOCI in 2014 and 40 percent in 2015. Nonadvanced approaches BHCs may elect to opt out of
including AOCI in capital. For the purpose of DFAST
2014, the Federal Reserve assumed that all nonadvanced approaches BHCs would opt out of
including AOCI.
The AOCI eligible for inclusion in capital is composed of four elements (1) actuarial gain and losses
on defined contribution pension plans, (2) unrealized
gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges,1
(3) foreign currency translation adjustments, and
(4) unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities
and also on HTM securities that have experienced
OTTI. The value of AOCI at the beginning of the
planning horizon for each of these elements is
reported on the FR Y-9C. For DFAST 2014, AOCI
over the planning horizon is assumed to be constant
for the first three elements, while AOCI due to unrealized gains and losses on securities is assumed to
move over the planning horizon with the supervisory
scenarios. Specifically, unrealized gains and losses
equals the difference between the fair value of the
securities, as estimated by the AFS fair value
model, and the amortized cost of the securities,
which has been adjusted for OTTI using the OTTI
models.2 Quarterly changes in unrealized gains and

Unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges for items not
recognized at fair value on the balance sheet are excluded from
capital.

models are available in appendix B.

positions, and from credit valuation adjustment
(CVA) are projected assuming an instantaneous
re-pricing of positions under the global market
shock. Losses related to the global market shock are
assumed to occur in the first quarter of the planning
horizon. No subsequent recoveries on these positions
are assumed, nor are there offsetting changes such as
reductions in compensation or other expenses in
reaction to the global market shock. In addition,

losses are recognized net of taxes as other comprehensive income (OCI), which contributes directly to
changes in AOCI.
Over the planning horizon, unrealized gains and
losses at the advanced approaches BHCs move
with the path of Treasury yields. Five-year Treasury
yields in the severely adverse scenario decline
about 1 percentage point to 0.6 percent, but due to
an assumed aversion to long-term debt instruments,
yields in the adverse scenario increase about 3 percentage points to 4.6 percent by Q4 2014. As a
result, OCI estimated for advanced approaches
BHCs is projected to be -$24 billion under the
severely adverse scenario and -$103 billion under
the adverse scenario.

losses from potential defaults of obligors underlying
BHCs’ trading positions are projected over the ninequarter planning horizon, and the incremental losses
above mark-to-market losses are projected.
In addition, the losses associated with the instantaneous and unexpected default of the largest counterparty across their derivatives and securities financing
transaction (SFT) activities are projected for each of

14

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

eight BHCs with substantial trading or custodial
operations.24 Similar to the global market shock
component, the counterparty default component is
treated as an add-on to the macroeconomic conditions and financial market environment specified in
the adverse and severely adverse scenarios. All losses
and any assumed recoveries are assumed to occur in
the first quarter of the planning horizon. The recovery value equals the value at the time of default as
reflected in market prices.
The projections of revenues, expenses, and losses are
based on the Federal Reserve’s projections of the balance sheet for each BHC over the planning horizon.
These balance sheet projections are derived using a
common framework for determining the impact of
the scenarios on balance sheet growth, and incorporate assumptions about credit supply that limit aggregate credit contraction (see box 2). Any new loan balances implied by the balance sheet projections are
generally assumed to have the same risk characteristics as loans held by the BHC at the start of the planning period.
Balance sheet projections incorporated expected
changes to a BHC’s business plan, such as mergers,
acquisition, and divestitures, that are likely to have a
material impact on the its capital adequacy and funding profile. BHC-submitted data were used to adjust
the projected balance sheet in the quarter when the
change was expected to occur. Once adjusted, assets
were assumed to grow at the same rate as the preadjusted balance sheet. Only divestitures that were
either completed or contractually agreed upon before
January 6, 2014, were incorporated. The inclusion of
the effects of such expected changes to a BHC’s business plan does not—and is not intended to—express
a view on the merits of such proposals and is not an
approval or non-objection to such plans.
After-tax net income (or loss) is calculated by applying a consistent tax rate to pre-tax net income (or
loss) for all BHCs.25 Along with each BHC’s
assumed capital actions under the Federal Reserve’s
Dodd-Frank Act stress test rules, after-tax net

For six BHCs with large trading and private equity exposures,
losses from the large counterparty default component replace
losses in DFAST 2013 and CCAR 2013 associated with the
incremental default risk of their counterparties.
For a discussion of the effect of changing this tax rate assumption on the post stress tier 1 common ratio, see box 2 of Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (2013), “DoddFrank Act Stress Test 2013: Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results,” available at www.federalreserve.gov/
newsevents/press/bcreg/20130307a.htm.

income is the primary determinant of projected
changes in equity capital which, in turn, determines
projected changes in the regulatory capital measures.
Capital ratios are calculated using assets and RWAs
projected by the Federal Reserve.

Modeling Design and Implementation
The Federal Reserve’s projections of revenue,
expenses, and various types of losses and provisions
that flow into pre-tax net income are based on data
provided by the 30 BHCs participating in DFAST
2014 and on models developed or selected by Federal
Reserve staff and reviewed by an independent group
of Federal Reserve economists and analysts.26 The
models are intended to capture how the balance
sheet, RWAs, and net income of each BHC are
affected by the macroeconomic and financial conditions described in the supervisory scenarios and by
characteristics of the BHCs’ loans and securities
portfolios; trading, private equity, and counterparty
exposures from derivatives and SFTs; business activities; and other relevant factors.27
The FR Y-14 Report
The Federal Reserve collects detailed data on PPNR,
loans, securities, trading and counterparty risk, and
losses related to operational-risk events on the FR
Y-14 report, which includes a set of schedules (the
FR Y-14M, FR Y-14Q, and FR Y-14A) collected
monthly, quarterly, or annually.28 Over the past year,
several changes have been made to the FR Y-14
report. Most of the changes affected the FR Y-14A,
which was revised to reflect the Federal Reserve’s
revised regulatory capital framework. Also, additional counterparty items were added related to SFTs
and repurchase agreements to support loss estimation for the counterparty default component of the
supervisory scenarios.
Each of the 30 BHCs participating in DFAST 2014
submitted FR Y-14M and FR Y-14Q schedules (as of
September 30, 2013) in October and November of
2013 and submitted FR Y-14A schedules on Janu-

In some cases, the loss models estimated the effect of local-level
macroeconomic data, which were projected based on their historical covariance with national variables included in the supervisory scenarios.

The Federal Reserve’s projection of BHCs’ balance

2013 Q4

Industry assets, loans, and trading assets are allocated to each BHC based on its shares of these
positions at the beginning of the planning horizon.
All types of loans at all BHCs are assumed to grow
at the same rate, which means that the mix of loans
at each BHC is constant over the planning horizon.
This assumption ensures that each BHC’s loan risk
profile throughout the planning horizon is driven primarily by its outstanding business mix on the stress
test as-of date. Trading assets are assumed to grow
at the growth rate of total assets, adjusted for
changes in mark-to-market values reflecting industrywide trading asset composition, while non-loan
assets other than trading assets and securities grow
at the same rate for all BHCs. Securities growth at
each BHC is set so that total asset growth equals
the projected rate given the growth of other types of
assets at that firm.

Market RWAs can be broken down into components
that are cyclical and, therefore, are expected to
evolve over the planning horizon according to financial market conditions and those that are not. The
first group, which includes value at risk and the
incremental risk charge, are projected based on the
volatility of the trading portfolio of the BHCs. The
second group, which includes stressed value at risk,
the specific risk charge, and the comprehensive risk
charge, are assumed to evolve according to projections of the BHCs’ trading assets.

2013 Q3

The Federal Reserve projection of BHC balance
sheets begins with a set of models that relate total
assets in the banking industry and important subcomponents, such as total loans and non-loan
assets, to nominal GDP and other macroeconomic
factors, including a measure of loan supply. These
relationships are estimated using aggregate data
and are used to project the growth in industry assets
and its subcomponents over the planning horizon
under each of the supervisory scenarios (See figure A). In the adverse and severely adverse scenarios, the measure of loan supply is assumed to
remain at its long-run historical average over the
planning horizon. This assumption ensures that loan
supply does not contract during the stress period;
relaxing this assumption would significantly reduce
the projection of loan growth over the planning horizon in the severely adverse scenario.

balance sheets, two components of RWAs were
estimated: market RWAs and credit RWAs. Market
RWAs reflect the market and credit risk exposures
in the BHCs’ portfolios of trading assets, while credit
RWAs primarily reflect credit risk exposures in the
BHCs’ loan, derivatives, and other portfolios. Credit
RWAs was calculated both under the capital framework that was in effect as of October 1, 2013, (general approach RWAs) and under the revised capital
framework implementing the Basel III regulatory
capital regime in the United States (standardized
approach RWAs). The weights used to calculate
credit RWAs were held fixed throughout the planning horizon to reflect an assumption that the credit
portfolio’s underlying risk features remain constant
throughout the horizon; as a result, changes in
credit RWAs over the planning horizon primarily
reflect the balance sheet asset growth projections
for loans, securities, and other assets.

Total assets ($Tr)

For DFAST 2014, the Federal Reserve independently projected bank holding company (BHC) balance sheets and risk-weighted assets (RWAs) under
the supervisory scenarios. Independent balance projections permit a more consistent analysis across
BHCs, one that features common assumptions
regarding total borrowing by households and businesses and firms’ market shares. In particular, making independent balance sheet projections allows
the Federal Reserve to conduct the stress tests
under the assumption that BHCs continue to serve
as credit intermediaries, even under severely
adverse conditions.

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

ary 6, 2014.29 These data—along with data collected
in other regulatory reports and gathered from other
proprietary third-party data sources—were used in
the supervisory models of revenues, expenses, and
losses. Balance sheets and RWAs were projected
based on historical data from the Federal Reserve’s
Z.1 statistical release (Financial Accounts of the
United States), FR Y-9C report, and FR Y-14
schedules.30
Quarterly loan losses are projected using information
collected on the FR Y-14 about the BHCs’ loan portfolios, including borrower characteristics, collateral
characteristics, characteristics of the loans or credit
facilities, amounts outstanding and yet to be drawn
down (for credit lines), payment history, and current
payment status. Loan portfolio data are reported
either monthly (for domestic retail credit card and
residential mortgages) or quarterly (all other retail
and wholesale portfolios). Data are collected on individual loans or credit facilities for wholesale loan,
domestic retail credit card, and residential mortgage
portfolios and are collected on segments of the loan
portfolios for other domestic and international retail
portfolios (for example, segments defined by loan-tovalue (LTV) ratio, geographic location, and borrower
credit score).
Losses on securities held in the AFS and held to
maturity (HTM) portfolios are estimated using securities data collected quarterly at the individual security (CUSIP) level, including the amortized cost,
market value, and any OTTI taken on the security to
date.
BHCs were required to submit detailed loan and
securities information for all material portfolios,
where the portfolio is deemed to be “material” if the
size of the portfolio exceeds either 5 percent of the
BHC’s tier 1 capital or $5 billion. The portfolio categories are defined in the FR Y-14M and Y-14Q
instructions. For portfolios falling below these thresholds, the BHCs had the option to submit or not submit the detailed data. Portfolios for which the Federal
Reserve did not receive detailed data were assigned a
loss rate equal to a high percentile of the loss rates
projected for BHCs that did submit data for that category of loan or security.
29

30

In preparation for DFAST 2014, the 12 BHCs that did not previously participate in DFAST began submitting the FR Y-14M
and FR Y-14Q schedules in late 2012.
Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1) is available at
www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/.

The Federal Reserve made considerable efforts to
validate BHC-reported data, and requested resubmissions of data as needed. However, in certain
instances, BHC-reported data remained insufficient
or were deemed unreliable to produce supervisory
estimates. In such instances, loans with insufficient or
unreliable data received a loss rate at or near the
90th percentile of the loss rates projected for the relevant loan segment at the BHCs that did provide reliable data. In some instances where certain data elements were reported as missing values, these missing
data were assigned conservative values (e.g., high
LTV values or low credit scores).31 These assumptions are intended to reflect a conservative view of
the risk characteristics of the portfolios, given insufficient information to make more risk-sensitive
projections.
Losses related to the global market shock and the
counterparty default components are projected using
information on trading, derivatives and SFT exposures, private equity holdings, and certain other
assets subject to fair-value accounting held by BHCs
with large trading operations. The FR Y-14 schedules
collect BHC-estimated sensitivities of trading positions, private equity, and other fair-value assets held
in the trading book to the set of risk factors specified
by the Federal Reserve. These risk factors include
changes in a wide range of U.S. and global market
rates and asset prices as well as volatilities of those
rates and prices. The specific risk factors are those
judged to be most relevant to the positions held by
the BHCs. The schedules also collect information on
the BHC’s counterparty exposures, revalued with
respect to these risk factors both for segments of
counterparties and for individual counterparties.
Additionally, supplementary schedules were used to
collect information specific to the counterparty
default component as well as eurozone holdings and
exposures. These data, which are collected for positions in the trading and private-equity portfolios held
by the BHCs and counterparty exposures, are as of
market close October 16, 2013.
Most components of PPNR are projected using
data on historical revenues and operating and
other non-credit-related expenses reported on the
FR Y-9C report, which contains consolidated income

The method of applying conservative assumptions to certain
risk segments was used only in cases in which the data-related
issues were isolated in such a way that the remainder of the
portfolio could be readily modeled using the existing supervisory framework.

statement and balance sheet information for each
BHC (including components of interest income, noninterest income, and noninterest expenses).32 Separate data are collected on the FR Y-14 about mortgage loans that were sold or securitized and the
BHCs’ historical losses related to operational-risk
events to project losses from mortgage repurchase
and operational-risk events under the supervisory
scenarios.
Finally, changes in regulatory capital ratios over the
planning horizon are calculated incorporating Federal Reserve projections of RWA and balance-sheet
composition.
Balance Sheet, Loss, Revenue, and Expense
Models
The data collected from the BHCs, along with data
collected in other regulatory reports; proprietary
industry data; and the variables defining the supervisory scenarios, are inputs into a series of models used
to project the balance sheet, losses, revenues, and
expenses for each BHC over the planning horizon.
These models were either developed by Federal
Reserve analysts and economists or are third-party
models used by Federal Reserve staff.33 In some
cases, the projections of certain types of losses made
by the Federal Reserve use as an input sensitivities
generated by the BHCs using their internal riskmeasurement models.
In general, the models were developed using pooled
historical data from many financial institutions,
either supervisory data collected by the Federal
Reserve or proprietary industry data. As a result, the
estimated parameters reflect the typical or industryaverage response to variation in the macroeconomic
and financial market variables and portfolio-specific
and instrument-specific characteristics.
This industrywide modeling approach reflects the
challenge of estimating separate, statistically robust
models for each of the 30 BHCs. This approach also
reflects the desire of the Federal Reserve not to
assume that historical BHC-specific results will prevail in the future if those results cannot be explained

by consistently observable variables incorporated
into a robust statistical model. Thus, BHC-specific
factors are incorporated through detailed portfolio
and business-activity data, such as that provided on
the FR Y-14, that are inputs to the models, but the
estimated relationships between these variables, the
macroeconomic and financial market factors defined
in the supervisory scenarios, and revenue or losses
are the same for all BHCs. This means that the projections made by the Federal Reserve will not necessarily match or mirror similar projections made by
individual BHCs, which will incorporate diverse
approaches that capture the effect of portfolio characteristics and other economic factors.
The Federal Reserve deviated from the industrywide
modeling approach only in a very limited number of
cases, in which the historical data used to estimate
the model were not sufficiently granular to reliably
capture cross-firm differences in loss, expense, or
revenue-generating characteristics. In these cases,
BHC-specific indicator variables (fixed effects) were
included in the models.
The models developed internally by the Federal
Reserve draw on economic research and analysis and
industry practice in modeling the impact of borrower, instrument, collateral characteristics, and macroeconomic factors on revenue, expenses, and losses.
The modeling approaches build on work done by the
Federal Reserve in previous stress tests, but in some
cases, the models represent significant refinement
and advancement of earlier work, reflecting advances
in modeling technique, richer and more detailed data
over which to estimate the models, and longer histories of performance in both adverse and more benign
economic settings.
In a few cases, these efforts resulted in new models
that were implemented in DFAST 2014. These new
models and other models used are described in
greater detail in appendix B. Overall, the Federal
Reserve continues to move toward an overall modeling framework that is increasingly independent of
BHC projections.
The models were reviewed by an independent model
validation team composed of economists and analysts from across the Federal Reserve System, with a
focus on the design, estimation, and implementation
of the models. Model reviewers were primarily Federal Reserve subject matter experts who were not
involved in model development and who reported to
a different oversight group than model developers. In

18

addition, Federal Reserve analysts developed industrywide loss and PPNR projections—capturing the
potential revenue and losses of the banking industry

as a whole in a stressed macroeconomic environment—
for use as reference points in assessing model outputs
across the 30 BHCs.

Revised Capital Framework

On July 2, 2013, the Board approved a revised capital
framework that implements the Basel III regulatory
capital reforms and certain changes required by the
Dodd-Frank Act (revised capital framework).34 The
revised capital framework affects the calculation of
the regulatory capital ratios in the Dodd-Frank Act
stress test because in the supervisory stress test each
BHC’s regulatory capital ratios for each projection
quarter of the planning horizon are calculated in
accordance with the regulatory capital requirements
that will be in effect during that quarter.35 The
remainder of this section describes the changes to the
capital ratios associated with the phase-in of the
revised capital framework.
As a result of the phase-in of the revised capital
framework, the definition of regulatory capital (the
numerators of the capital ratios) and the calculation
of RWAs (the denominator of some of the regulatory
capital ratios) vary over the nine-quarter stress test
horizon. In addition, a new regulatory capital ratio—
the common equity tier 1 ratio—was introduced during the course of the nine-quarter planning horizon.
Table 1 shows the applicability of the common equity
tier 1 ratio and the rules used to calculate the
numerators and denominators of the capital ratios
for each BHC. For the first quarter of the planning
horizon—the fourth quarter of 2013—three regulatory capital ratios are calculated for all BHCs: the tier
1 capital ratio, the total capital ratio, and the tier 1
leverage ratio.36 The tier 1 and total capital ratios are
defined as tier 1 capital and total capital, respectively,

Prompt Corrective Action, Standardized Approach for RiskWeighted Assets, Market Discipline and Disclosure Requirements,
Advanced Approaches Risk-Based Capital Rule, and Market Risk
Capital Rule (July 2, 2013), 78 FR 62018 (October 11, 2013).
See 79 FR 13498 (March 11, 2014).
Tier 1 capital consists of common equity tier 1 capital and additional tier 1 capital, which includes additional tier 1 capital
instruments (including qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock instruments), related surplus, and limited amounts
of tier 1 minority interest, minus applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. See 12 CFR 217.2 and 12 CFR

divided by RWAs, while the tier 1 leverage ratio
equals tier 1 capital divided by average total assets.
For Q4 2013, tier 1 and total capital are calculated
based on the regulatory capital rules in place before
adoption of the revised capital framework (Basel
I-based capital rules), and RWAs are calculated using
the “general risk-based capital approach” in those
rules.
Beginning in the second quarter of the stress test
horizon (the first quarter of 2014), the DFAST capital ratios for advanced approaches BHCs, other than
the tier 1 common ratio, reflect the definitions of
regulatory capital under the revised capital framework. For other BHCs, the revised definition of capital does not occur until the sixth quarter of the planning horizon (the first quarter of 2015). The new
definitions of capital include changes to certain limitations on the instruments that can be included in
regulatory capital and the items that must be
deducted, such as intangible assets like goodwill.
The revised capital framework also introduces a new
regulatory capital ratio beginning in 2014—the common equity tier 1 ratio.37 This ratio equals common
equity tier 1 capital divided by RWAs, where common equity tier 1 equals the common stock instruments and related surplus, retained earnings, AOCI
for advanced approaches BHCs, and limited amounts

37

217.20(c). Total capital consists of tier 1 and tier 2 capital,
which includes tier 2 capital instruments (including qualifying
subordinated debt instruments), related surplus, and limited
amounts of total capital minority interest and the allowance for
loan and lease losses. See 12 CFR part 217, sections 2 and
20(d).
Common equity tier 1 capital includes common stock instruments and related surplus, retained earnings, AOCI, and limited
amounts of common equity tier 1 minority interest, minus
applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. Items that
are fully deducted from common equity tier 1 capital include
goodwill, other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing
assets) and certain deferred tax assets; items that are subject to
limits in common equity tier 1 capital include mortgage servicing assets, eligible deferred tax assets, and certain significant
investments. See 12 CFR 217.20(b), 12 CFR 217.22(a), and
12 CFR 217.22(d).

“Basel I-based capital” indicates that regulatory capital is calculated under the rules in place before the implementation of the revised capital framework (see 12 CFR part 225,
appendix A). “Revised capital framework” indicates that regulatory capital is calculated under the revised capital framework. “General Approach RWAs” indicates that
risk-weighted assets are calculated using the approach under the general risk-based capital rules (see 12 CFR part 225, appendix A) while “Standardized Approach RWAs”
indicates that risk-weighted assets are calculated using the standardized approach under the revised capital framework. The “n/a” indicates that the capital ratio was not
calculated for that time period. For purposes of DFAST 2014, an advanced approaches BHC includes any BHC that has consolidated assets greater than or equal to $250 billion
or total consolidated on-balance-sheet foreign exposure of at least $10 billion as of December 31, 2013.

March 2014

of common equity tier 1 minority interest, minus
applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.
This ratio was calculated for advanced approaches
BHCs starting in the second quarter of the stress test
horizon (Q1 2014), and for all other BHCs participating in the Dodd-Frank Act stress tests starting in the
last year of the stress test horizon (2015).
Starting in 2015, the revised capital framework introduces a new standardized approach for risk weighting assets, which will replace the calculation of risk
weights using the general risk-based capital
approach. For this stress test cycle, the denominator
of each BHC’s capital ratios, other than the tier 1
common ratio, was calculated using the general
approach for the first five quarters of the planning
horizon (for the fourth quarter of 2013 through the
last quarter of 2014) and was calculated using the
standardized approach for the last four quarters of
the planning horizon (for all quarters in 2015). By
comparison, the tier 1 common capital ratio is calculated using the general approach in place as of October 1, 2013, for all nine quarters of the planning
horizon.

21

The results for DFAST 2014 continue to include the
tier 1 common capital ratio.38 The tier 1 common
capital ratio equals the common equity portion of
tier 1 capital divided by RWAs. The tier 1 common
ratio differs from the common equity tier 1 ratio
because (1) for advanced approaches companies,
most elements of AOCI flow through to common
equity tier 1, but not to tier 1 common capital;
(2) more assets are subject to deduction from common equity tier 1 capital than from tier 1 common
capital, including investments in unconsolidated
financial institutions and all deferred tax assets that
arise from operating losses and tax credit carry forwards; and, (3) beginning in 2015, the denominators
of the two ratios will use different approaches for calculating RWAs. Preserving the tier 1 common ratio
maintains consistency with previous stress testing
cycles during the phase-in of the new common equity
tier 1 capital ratio.

Supervisory Stress Test Results

This section describes the Federal Reserve’s projections of losses, revenue, expenses, and capital positions for the 30 BHCs participating in DFAST 2014.
The projections presented in this section are based on
the adverse and severely adverse scenarios developed
by the Federal Reserve.
The results include projections of five post-stress
capital ratios for each of the 30 BHCs over the ninequarter planning horizon spanning the fourth quarter of 2013 to the end of 2015. The first is the ratio of
the common equity component of tier 1 capital to
RWAs (the tier 1 common ratio), calculated based on
the capital rules in effect prior to the revised capital
framework. The second is a new ratio defined in the
revised capital rules: the ratio of common equity tier
1 capital to RWAs (the common equity tier 1 ratio).
The final three ratios are: the ratio of tier 1 capital to
RWAs (the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio), the ratio of
total regulatory capital to RWAs (the total risk-based
capital ratio), and the ratio of tier 1 capital to average
assets (the tier 1 leverage ratio). The results also
include projections of RWAs and the components of
net income before taxes, including revenues, provisions, and losses, as well as components of loan
losses.
These results are presented both in the aggregate for
the 30 BHCs and for individual BHCs. The aggregate
results provide a sense of the stringency of the adverse
and severely adverse scenario projections and the sensitivities of losses, revenues, and capital at these BHCs as
a group to the stressed economic and financial market
conditions contained in those scenarios. The range of
results across individual BHCs reflects differences in
business focus, asset composition, revenue and expense
sources, as well as differences in portfolio risk characteristics. The comprehensive results for individual
BHCs are reported in appendix C.

Severely Adverse Scenario
Stressed Regulatory Capital Ratios and
Risk-Weighted Assets
The projections suggest significant declines in regulatory capital ratios for nearly all the BHCs under the
severely adverse scenario. Overall, the total amount
of tier 1 common capital held by the 30 BHCs is estimated to fall more than $283 billion, or about 30 percent, from the third quarter of 2013 to the fourth
quarter of 2015 under the severely adverse scenario.
As shown in table 2, in the aggregate each of the four
capital ratios calculated in the third quarter of 2013
decline over the course of the planning horizon, with
year-end 2015 levels ranging from 2.5 percentage
points to 4.6 percentage points lower than at the start
of the planning horizon. Table 3 presents these ratios
for each of the 30 BHCs.
The changes in post-stress regulatory capital ratios
vary considerably across BHCs (see figures 9 and 10
and table 3). Overall, post-stress regulatory capital
ratios decline from the beginning to the end of the
planning horizon for all but two of the BHCs. The
post-stress capital ratios incorporate Federal Reserve
projections of the levels of total average assets and
RWAs over the planning horizon. Declines in regulatory capital ratios in part reflect an increase in RWAs
over the planning horizon. In the severely adverse
scenario, aggregate RWAs for the 30 BHCs is projected to increase $281 billion, or 3.4 percent, over
the planning horizon under the current general
approach for RWAs calculations.
Projected Losses
The Federal Reserve’s severely adverse scenario projections estimate that the 30 BHCs as a group would

24

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

experience significant losses under the severely
adverse scenario. In this scenario, losses are projected
to be $501 billion for the 30 BHCs in the aggregate
over the nine quarters of the planning horizon.These
losses include $366 billion in accrual loan portfolio
losses, $7 billion in OTTI and other realized securities losses, $ 98 billion in trading and/or counterparty
losses at the eight BHCs with substantial trading or
custodial operations, and $29 billion in additional
losses from items such as loans booked under the
fair-value option. Table 2 presents these results in the
aggregate, while table 5 presents them individually for
each of the 30 BHCs.
The biggest sources of loss are accrual loan portfolios and trading and counterparty positions subject
to the global market shock and counterparty default
component. Together, these account for nearly
93 percent of the projected losses for the 30 BHCs
under the severely adverse scenario (figure 11).
Loan Losses

Projected losses on consumer-related lending—
domestic residential mortgages, credit cards, and
other consumer loans—represent 63 percent of projected loan losses and 46 percent of total projected
losses for the 30 BHCs (see figure 12 and table 6).
This is consistent with both the share of these types
of loans in the BHCs’ loan portfolios—these loans
represent about half of the accrual loan portfolio at
these firms as of the third quarter of 2013—and with
the severely adverse scenario, which features high
unemployment rates and significant declines in housing prices. Losses on domestic residential mortgage
loans, including both first liens and junior liens/home
equity lines of credit (HELOC), is the single largest
category of losses, at $106 billion, representing
29 percent of total projected loan losses. Projected
losses on credit card portfolios—at $93 billion—is
the second largest category, representing 25 percent.
The next largest category is projected losses on commercial and industrial loans, at $62 billion.
For the 30 BHCs as a group, the nine-quarter cumulative loss rate for all accrual loan portfolios is
6.9 percent, where the loss rate is calculated as total
projected loan losses over the nine quarters of the
planning horizon divided by average loan balances
over the horizon. This rate is high by historical standards, and more severe than any U.S. recession since
the 1930s. As illustrated in figure 12, total loan loss
rates vary significantly across BHCs, ranging

between 1.6 percent and 15.2 percent across these
institutions.
The differences in total loan loss rates across the
BHCs reflect differences in loan portfolio composition and differences in risk characteristics for each
type of lending across these firms. Loan portfolio
composition matters because projected loss rates vary
significantly by loan type.39 In the aggregate, ninequarter cumulative loss rates range between 2.7 percent on other loans and 15.2 percent on credit cards,
reflecting both differences in typical performance of
these loans—some loan types tend to generate higher
losses, though generally also higher revenue—and differences in the sensitivity of different types of lending
to the severely adverse scenario. In particular, lending
categories whose performance is sensitive to unemployment rates or housing prices may experience high
stressed loss rates due to the considerable stress on
these factors in the severely adverse scenario.
Figures D.1 through D.7 present the nine-quarter
cumulative loss rates on seven different categories of
loans for each of the 30 BHCs. There are significant
differences across BHCs in the projected loan loss
rates for similar types of loans. For example, while
the median projected loss rate on domestic first-lien
residential mortgages is 4.0 percent, the rates among
BHCs with first-lien mortgage portfolios vary from a
low of 0.8 percent to a high of 16.7 percent. Similarly, for commercial and industrial loans, the range
of projected loss rates is from 2.8 percent to 13.2 percent, with a median of 4.9 percent. Projected loss
rates on most loan categories show similar dispersion
across BHCs.40
Differences in projected loss rates across BHCs primarily reflect differences in loan characteristics, such
as loan-to-value ratios or debt service coverage ratios,
and borrower characteristics, such as credit ratings or
credit scores. In addition, some BHCs have taken
write-downs on portfolios of impaired loans either
purchased or acquired through mergers. Losses on
these loans are projected using the same loss models
used for loans of the same type, and the resulting loss
projections are reduced by the amount of such write39

40

The loan categories are defined to be generally consistent with
categories on the FR Y-9 C reports.
Losses are calculated based on the exposure at default, which
includes both outstanding balances and any additional drawdown of the credit line that occurs prior to default, while loss
rates are calculated as a percent of average outstanding balances
over the planning horizon. See appendix B for more detail on
the models used to project net income and stressed capital.

March 2014

downs. For these BHCs, projected loss rates will be
lower than for BHCs that hold similar loans that
have not been subject to purchase-related
write-downs.
Losses on Trading, Private Equity, SFT, and
Derivatives Positions

The severely adverse scenario results include $98 billion in trading losses from the global market shock at
the six BHCs with large trading and private-equity
exposures and losses from the counterparty default
component at the eight BHCs with substantial trading or custodial operations. Trading and counterparty losses range between $1 billion and $24 billion
across the eight BHCs (see table 5), with the largest
losses at those BHCs with the most significant trading activities that were subject to both the global
market shock and the counterparty default component. Even so, the relative size of losses across firms
depends not on nominal portfolio size but rather on
the specific risk characteristics of each BHC’s trading positions, inclusive of hedges. Importantly, projected losses related to the global market shock and
the counterparty default component are based on the
trading positions and counterparty exposures held by
these firms on a single date (October 16, 2013) and
could have differed, perhaps significantly, over the
nine-quarter planning horizon, if they had been
based on trading positions as of a different date.
Projected Pre-provision Net Revenue and Net
Income

In the aggregate, the 30 BHCs are projected to generate $316 billion in PPNR cumulatively over the nine
quarters of the planning horizon, equal to 2.3 percent of their combined average assets (see table 2).
Relatively low PPNR projections reflect low levels of
net interest income because of the effect of low interest rates and flattening of the yield curve in the early
part of the severely adverse scenario, given the
BHCs’ current and projected balance sheet composition. The results also reflect low levels of noninterest
income, consistent with the falling asset prices and
sharply contracting economic activity in the severely
adverse scenario. In addition, the PPNR projections
incorporate expenses stemming from estimates of
elevated levels of losses from operational-risk events
such as fraud, employee lawsuits, litigation-related
expenses, or computer system or other operating disruptions and expenses related to put-backs of mort-

25

gages, netted against mortgage put-back reserves
already taken by the BHCs.41
The ratio of projected cumulative PPNR to average
assets varies across BHCs (see figure 13 and table 5).
A significant portion of this variation reflects differences in business focus across the institutions. For
instance, the ratio of PPNR to assets tends to be
higher at BHCs focusing on credit-card lending,
reflecting the higher net interest income that credit
cards generally produce relative to other forms of
lending.42 Importantly, lower PPNR rates do not
necessarily imply lower net income, since the same
business focus and revenue risk characteristics determining differences in PPNR across firms could also
result in offsetting differences in projected losses
across BHCs.
Projected PPNR and losses are the primary determinants of projected net income. Table 2 presents
aggregate projections of the components of pre-tax
net income, including provisions into the ALLL and
one-time income and expense and extraordinary
items, under the severely adverse scenario. Table 5
presents these projections for each of the 30 BHCs.
The projections are cumulative for the nine quarters
of the planning horizon.
Of note, following U.S. GAAP, the net income projections incorporate loan losses indirectly through
provisions, which equal projected loan losses plus the
amount needed for the ALLL to be at an appropriate
level at the end of each quarter. The $399 billion in
total provisions reported in table 2 is the result of
$366 billion in net charge-offs and a reserve build of
more than $32 billion. Table 2 is cumulative over the
planning horizon, and masks variation in the ALLL
during the course of the nine quarters. Specifically,
the projected ALLL increases during the early quarters of the planning horizon, given the increased economic stress in the severely adverse scenario, and
then partially retraces this increase as the economic
stress abates.

41

42

These estimates are conditional on the hypothetical adverse and
severely adverse scenario and on conservative assumptions.
They are not a supervisory estimate of the BHCs’ current or
expected legal liability.
As noted, credit-card lending also tends to generate relatively
high loss rates, so the higher PPNR rates at these BHCs do not
necessarily indicate higher profitability.

26

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

The Federal Reserve’s projections of pre-tax net
income under the severely adverse scenario imply
negative net income at most of the 30 BHCs individually, and for the BHCs as a group, over the ninequarter planning horizon. As table 2 shows, projected
net income before taxes (pre-tax net income) is an
aggregate net loss of $217 billion over the planning
horizon for the 30 BHCs.
Figure 14 illustrates the ratio of pre-tax net income
to average assets for each of the 30 BHCs. The ratio
ranges between -5.1 percent and 3.9 percent. Projected cumulative net income for most of the BHCs

(23 of 30) is negative over the planning horizon. Differences across the firms reflect differences in the sensitivity of the various components of net income to
the economic and financial market conditions in the
supervisory scenarios. Projected net income for the
eight BHCs subject to global market shock and/or
the counterparty default component includes the
effect of those additional scenario components in the
adverse and severely adverse scenarios, introducing
some additional variation in projected net income
between these eight BHCs and the other firms participating in DFAST 2014.

mortgage repurchase expenses, and other real estate owned (OREO) costs.
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in
pre-provision net revenue.
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation
adjustments (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default
scenario component applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase
agreement activities.
Other losses/gains includes projected change in fair value of loans held for sale
and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option.
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for advanced approaches BHCs
as only those BHCs include AOCI in calculations of regulatory capital. Other
comprehensive income includes incremental unrealized losses/gains on AFS
securities and on any HTM securities that have experienced other than
temporary impairment.
For advanced approaches BHCs, 20 percent of AOCI is included in capital
calculations for 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations
for 2015. For the purposes of this stress test cycle, non-advanced approaches
BHCs are assumed to opt out of including AOCI in their capital calculations.

Note: The capital ratios are calculated using capital action assumptions provided within the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing rule. These projections represent hypothetical
estimates that involve an economic outcome that is more adverse than expected. These estimates are not forecasts of expected losses, revenues, net income before taxes, or
capital ratios. The minimum capital ratio presented is for the period Q4 2013 to Q4 2015.

Advanced approaches bank holding companies are subject to the common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2014. All bank holding companies are subject to the
common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2015. For purposes of this stress test cycle, an advanced approaches BHC includes any BHC that has consolidated assets
greater than or equal to $250 billion or total consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposure of at least $10 billion as of December 31, 2013. See 12 CFR 217.100(b)(1);
12 CFR part 225, appendix G, section 1(b). Other BHCs include any BHC that is subject to 12 CFR 225.8 and is not an advanced approaches BHC.

Note: These projections represent hypothetical estimates that involve an economic outcome that is more adverse than expected. These estimates are not forecasts of expected
losses, revenues, or net income before taxes. Estimates may not sum precisely due to rounding.
1
Pre-provision net revenue includes losses from operational-risk events, mortgage repurchase expenses, and other real estate owned (OREO) costs.
2
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in pre-provision net revenue.
3
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation adjustments (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default scenario component
applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase agreement activities.
4
Other losses/gains includes projected change in fair value of loans held for sale and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option.
5
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for advanced approaches BHCs as only those BHCs include accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in calculations
of regulatory capital. Other comprehensive income includes incremental unrealized losses/gains on AFS securities and on any HTM securities that have experienced other
than temporary impairment.
6
For advanced approaches BHCs, 20 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations for 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations for 2015. For the
purposes of this stress test cycle, non-advanced approaches BHCs are assumed to opt out of including AOCI in their capital calculations.

Adverse Scenario
Stressed Regulatory Capital Ratios and
Risk-Weighted Assets
The adverse scenario projections suggest moderate
declines in aggregate regulatory capital ratios for the
30 BHCs. Overall, the total amount of tier 1 common
capital held by the 30 BHCs is estimated to increase
by $5.9 billion, or about 1 percent, from the third
quarter of 2013 to the end of 2015 under the adverse
scenario. As shown in table 8, the average tier 1 common ratio is projected to fall 1.8 percentage points to
its minimum over the planning horizon and to be
0.7 percentage point lower at the end of the planning
horizon. In addition, at the end of the planning horizon, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and the total
risk-based capital ratio are 2.2 and 2.5 percentage
points lower than at the start of the planning horizon, respectively. The tier 1 leverage ratio is projected
to decline 1.1 percentage point over the planning
horizon. Finally, the common equity tier 1 capital
ratio reaches a minimum of 9.3 percent, before
increasing to 10.0 percent at the end of the planning
horizon.
The projected decreases in post-stress regulatory
capital ratios are smaller than those under the
severely adverse scenario, reflecting the less severe
macroeconomic conditions assumed in the adverse
scenario and the steepening yield curve that benefits
most BHCs’ PPNR by generating increased net interest income. As compared to the severely adverse scenario, the adverse scenario projections imply higher
aggregate net income driven by higher PPNR and
lower losses, offset to some extent by significantly
higher projected unrealized losses on securities, which
negatively affect advanced approaches BHCs. Offsetting somewhat the effect of higher aggregate net
income on capital, the adverse scenario also features
more robust projected balance sheet and riskweighted asset growth than the severely adverse scenario, which on net tends to reduce post-stress capital
ratios.
Projected Losses
The Federal Reserve’s projections suggest that the 30
BHCs as a group would face elevated losses under
the adverse scenario, though not as large as the losses
under the severely adverse scenario. In this scenario,
total losses are projected to equal $355 billion for the
30 BHCs over the nine-quarter planning horizon.
These losses include $267 billion in accrual loan

39

losses, $7 billion in OTTI and other realized securities losses, $57 billion in losses from the global market shock and the largest counterparty default components, and $25 billion in additional losses from
items such as loans booked under the fair value
option. Table 8 presents these results in the aggregate,
while table 11 presents them individually for each of
the 30 BHCs. All of these aggregate loss amounts are
lower than those projected under the severely adverse
scenario, once again reflecting the relatively less
stressful macroeconomic and financial market conditions assumed in the adverse scenario.
Loan Losses

As in the severely adverse scenario, the accrual loan
portfolio is the largest source of losses in the adverse
scenario, accounting for $267 billion of the $355 billion in total projected losses for the 30 BHCs under
the adverse scenario. The lower peak unemployment
rate and more moderate residential and commercial
real estate price declines in the adverse scenario result
in lower projected accrual loan losses on consumer
and real estate-related loans. The nine-quarter loan
loss rate of 5.0 percent is below the peak industrylevel rate reached during the recent financial crisis
but still higher than the rate during any other time
period since the Great Depression of the 1930s. As in
the severely adverse scenario results, there is considerable diversity across firms in projected loan loss
rates, both in the aggregate and by loan type (see figures 18 and D.8 to D.14).
Losses on Trading, Private Equity, and
Derivatives Positions

Projected losses resulting from the impact of the
global market shock and the largest counterparty
default on trading, private equity, and counterparty
exposures for the eight BHCs with large trading or
custodial operations equal $57 billion under the
adverse scenario. These losses are slightly more than
half those projected under the severely adverse scenario, reflecting the less severe market shocks
assumed in the global market shock component of
the adverse scenario.
Projected Pre-provision Net Revenue and Net
Income

As shown in table 8, aggregate PPNR is projected to
equal $444 billion for the 30 BHCs under the adverse
scenario, equal to 3.2 percent of average projected
assets for these firms. Under the adverse scenario,
projected PPNR is bolstered by high projected net

40

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

interest income, driven largely by the increasing longterm interest rates and yield curve steepening
assumed in the scenario as well as by moderate loan
portfolio growth over the planning horizon. As compared to the severely adverse scenario, PPNR is also
strengthened by lower projected operational risk and
mortgage repurchase losses, with the latter being consistent with the adverse scenario’s more moderate
housing price decline. As in the severely adverse scenario, projected ratios of PPNR to assets vary significantly across the 30 BHCs, reflecting differences
in business focus as well as differences in sensitivities
to the conditions assumed in the Federal Reserve’s
adverse scenario (see figure 19).
In the aggregate, the 30 BHCs are projected to have
cumulative pre-tax net income of $92 billion over the
nine-quarter planning horizon under the adverse scenario. About three-quarters of the individual BHCs
are also projected to have positive cumulative pre-tax
net income, though most experience at least two
quarters of negative net income during the planning
horizon (see table 11 and figure 20). The higher net
income as compared to the severely adverse scenario
projections reflects the combination of higher projected PPNR and lower projected losses, especially on
trading, private equity, and counterparty positions,
and on the accrual loan portfolio. The $263 billion in

total provisions reported in table 2 is the result of
more than $266 billion in net charge-offs and a small
reserve release of $3 billion.
While aggregate pre-tax net income under the
adverse scenario is positive, it is low relative to historical standards, with an implied nine-quarter return
on assets (ROA) of 0.7 percent, as compared to
approximately 2 percent for these BHCs on a ninequarter basis since 2010. As shown in figure 20, projected nine-quarter ROA under the adverse scenario
ranges between -1.9 and 7.1 percent for the 30 BHCs.
As described in box 1, unrealized gains and losses on
securities held in the AFS portfolio affect regulatory
capital through AOCI. Under the revised capital
framework being phased in during 2014 and 2015, a
portion of AOCI is included in regulatory capital for
advanced approaches BHCs. Higher long-term interest rates and wider credit spreads assumed in the scenario result in -$103 billion of OCI over the nine
quarters of the planning horizon for the advanced
approaches BHCs. Reflecting the gradual phasing-in
of AOCI in the revised capital framework for
advanced approached BHCs, -$32 billion (20 percent
of total) and -$54 billion (40 percent of total) in
AOCI are included in post-stress regulatory capital as
of Q4 2014 and Q4 2105, respectively.

Advanced approaches bank holding companies are subject to the common
equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2014. All bank holding companies are
subject to the common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2015. For
purposes of this stress test cycle, an advanced approaches BHC includes any
BHC that has consolidated assets greater than or equal to $250 billion or total
consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposure of at least $10 billion as of
December 31, 2013. See 12 CFR 217.100(b)(1); 12 CFR part 225, appendix G,

Average assets is the nine-quarter average of total assets.
Pre-provision net revenue includes losses from operational-risk events,
mortgage repurchase expenses, and other real estate owned (OREO) costs.
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in
pre-provision net revenue.
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation
adjustments (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default
scenario component applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase
agreement activities.
Other losses/gains includes projected change in fair value of loans held for sale
and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option.
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for advanced approaches BHCs
as only those BHCs include AOCI in calculations of regulatory capital. Other
comprehensive income includes incremental unrealized losses/gains on AFS
securities and on any HTM securities that have experienced other than
temporary impairment.
For advanced approaches BHCs, 20 percent of AOCI is included in capital
calculations for 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations
for 2015. For the purposes of this stress test cycle, non-advanced approaches
BHCs are assumed to opt out of including AOCI in their capital calculations.

Note: The capital ratios are calculated using capital action assumptions provided within the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing rule. These projections represent hypothetical
estimates that involve an economic outcome that is more adverse than expected. These estimates are not forecasts of expected losses, revenues, net income before taxes, or
capital ratios. The minimum capital ratio presented is for the period Q4 2013 to Q4 2015.

Advanced approaches bank holding companies are subject to the common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2014. All bank holding companies are subject to the
common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2015. For purposes of this stress test cycle, an advanced approaches BHC includes any BHC that has consolidated assets
greater than or equal to $250 billion or total consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposure of at least $10 billion as of December 31, 2013. See 12 CFR 217.100(b)(1);
12 CFR part 225, appendix G, section 1(b). Other BHCs include any BHC that is subject to 12 CFR 225.8 and is not an advanced approaches BHC.

Note: These projections represent hypothetical estimates that involve an economic outcome that is more adverse than expected. These estimates are not forecasts of expected
losses, revenues, or net income before taxes. Estimates may not sum precisely due to rounding.
1
Pre-provision net revenue includes losses from operational-risk events, mortgage repurchase expenses, and other real estate owned (OREO) costs.
2
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in pre-provision net revenue.
3
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation adjustments (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default scenario component
applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase agreement activities.
4
Other losses/gains includes projected change in fair value of loans held for sale and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option.
5
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for advanced approaches BHCs as only those BHCs include accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in calculations
of regulatory capital. Other comprehensive income includes incremental unrealized losses/gains on AFS securities and on any HTM securities that have experienced other
than temporary impairment.
6
For advanced approaches BHCs, 20 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations for 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations for 2015. For the
purposes of this stress test cycle, non-advanced approaches BHCs are assumed to opt out of including AOCI in their capital calculations.

Appendix B: Models to Project Net Income
and Stressed Capital

This appendix describes the models used to project
stressed capital ratios and pre-tax net income and its
components for the 30 BHCs subject to DFAST
2014.43 The models fall into five broad categories:
1. Models to project losses on loans held in the
accrual loan portfolio. Loans in the accrual loan
portfolio are those measured under accrual
accounting, rather than fair-value accounting.
2. Models to project other types of losses, including
those from changes in fair value on loans held for
sale or measured under the fair-value option;
losses on securities, trading, and counterparty
exposures; losses related to operational-risk
events; and mortgage repurchase/put-back losses.
3. Models to project the components of PPNR (revenues and non-credit-related expenses).
4. Models to project balance sheet items and riskweighted assets (RWAs).
5. The model to project capital ratios, given projections of pre-tax net income, assumptions for
determining provisions into the ALLL, and
assumed capital actions under the Dodd-Frank
Act stress test rule.
43

In connection with DFAST 2014, and in addition to the models
developed and data collected by the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve used proprietary models or data licensed from the
following providers: Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc.; BlackRock
Financial Management, Inc.; Bloomberg Finance L.P.; CB
Richard Ellis, Inc.; Chicago Board Options Exchange; Commodity Research Bureau; CoreLogic Solutions, LLC; Equifax
Information Services LLC; Fitch Solutions, Inc.; Intex Solutions, Inc.: Investortools, Inc.; McDash Analytics, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Lender Processing Services, Inc.;
Markit Group; Moody’s Analytics, Inc.; Morningstar Credit
Ratings, LLC; Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board; The
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development;
Reis, Inc.; and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. In
addition, with respect to the global market shock component of
the adverse and severely adverse scenarios, the Federal Reserve
used proprietary data licensed from the following providers:
Bank of America Corporation; Barclays Bank PLC; Bloomberg
Finance L.P.;CoreLogic, Inc.; Intex Solutions, Inc.; JPMorgan
Chase & Co.; Lender Processing Services, Inc.; Markit Group;
Moody’s Analytics, Inc.; New York University; Standard &
Poor’s Financial Services LLC; and Thomson Reuters LLC.

A majority of the models described here were refined
incrementally over the past year. However, some of
the models were either changed substantially or
newly implemented for DFAST 2014, including the
home equity model, the available-for-sale (AFS) securities fair-value model, the fair-value loan model, the
counterparty default model, and the balance sheet
and RWA models.

Losses on the Accrual Loan Portfolio
More than a dozen individual models are used to
project losses on loans held in the accrual loan portfolio. The individual loan types modeled can broadly
be divided into wholesale loans, such as commercial
and industrial (C&I) loans and commercial real estate
(CRE) loans, and retail loans, including various types
of residential mortgages, credit cards, student loans,
auto loans, small business loans, and other consumer
lending. In some cases, these major categories comprise several subcategories, each with its own loss
projection model, but the models within a subcategory are similar in structure and approach. The
models project losses using detailed loan portfolio
data provided by the BHCs on the FR Y-14 report.
Two general approaches are taken to model losses on
the accrual loan portfolio. In the first approach—an
approach broadly used for DFAST 2014—the models
estimate expected losses under the macroeconomic
scenario—that is, they project the probability of
default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and exposure
at default (EAD) for each quarter of the planning
horizon. Expected losses in quarter t are the product
of these three components:
Loss t = PD t * LGD t * EAD t
PD is generally modeled as part of a transition process in which loans move from one payment status to
another (e.g., from current to delinquent) in response
to economic conditions. Default is the last possible
transition and PD represents the likelihood that a

66

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

loan will default during a given period. The number
of payment statuses and the transition paths modeled
differ by loan type.
LGD is typically defined as a percentage of EAD
and is based on historical data. For some loan types,
LGD is modeled as a function of borrower, collateral, or loan characteristics and the macroeconomic
variables from the supervisory scenarios. For other
loan types, it is assumed to be a fixed percentage for
all loans in a category. Finally, the approach to EAD
varies by loan type and depends on whether the outstanding loan amount can change between the current period and the period in which the loan defaults
(e.g., for lines of credit).
In the second approach, the models capture the historical behavior of net charge-offs relative to changes
in macroeconomic and financial market variables and
loan portfolio characteristics.
The loss models primarily focus on losses arising
from loans in the accrual loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013. The loss projections also incorporate losses on loans originated after the planning
horizon begins. These incremental loan balances are
calculated based on the Federal Reserve’s projections
of loan balances over the planning horizon. These
balances are assumed to have the same risk characteristics as those of the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013, with the exception of loan age in the
retail and commercial real estate portfolios, where
seasoning is incorporated. This is a simple, but generally conservative, assumption. Loss projections also
incorporate losses on loans acquired through mergers
or purchase after the planning horizon begins. Additional information provided by the BHCs about the
size and composition of acquired loan portfolios was
used to estimate losses on acquired portfolios.
Loss projections generated by the models are
adjusted to take account of purchase accounting
treatment, which recognizes discounts on impaired
loans acquired during mergers, and any other writedowns already taken on loans held in the accrual loan
portfolio. This latter adjustment ensures that losses
related to these loans are not double-counted in the
projections.

Wholesale Lending: Corporate Loans
Losses stemming from default on corporate loans are
projected at the loan level using an expected loss
modeling framework. Corporate loans consist of a

number of different categories of loans, as defined by
the FR Y-9C. The largest group of these loans
include commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, which
are generally defined as loans to corporate or commercial borrowers with more than $1 million in committed balances that are “graded” using a BHC’s corporate loan rating process.44
The PD for a C&I loan is projected over the planning
horizon by first calculating the loan’s PD at the
beginning of the planning horizon and then projecting it forward using an equation that relates historical
changes in PD to changes in the macroeconomic
environment. The PD as of September 30, 2013, is
calculated for every C&I loan in a BHC’s portfolio
using detailed, loan-level information submitted by
the BHC. For publicly traded borrowers, a borrowerspecific PD, based on the expected default frequency,
is used. For other borrowers, the PD is estimated
based on the BHC’s internal credit rating, which is
converted to a standardized rating scale. Loans that
are 90 days past due, in non-accrual status, or that
have an ASC 310-10 reserve as of September 30,
2013, are assigned a PD of 100 percent.
Quarterly changes in the PD after the third quarter
of 2013 are projected over the planning horizon
using a series of equations that relate historical
changes in the average PD as a function of changes
in macroeconomic variables, including changes in
real GDP, the unemployment rate, and the spread on
BBB-rated corporate bonds. The equations are estimated separately by borrower industries, credit quality categories, and countries.
The LGD for a C&I loan at the beginning of the
planning horizon is determined by the line of business, seniority of lien (if secured), country, and ASC
310-10 reserve, if applicable. The LGD is then projected forward by relating the change in the LGD to
changes in the PD. In the model, the PD is used as a
proxy for economic conditions, and, by construct,
increases in PD generally lead to higher LGDs.
The EAD for closed-end C&I loans is assumed to
equal the loan’s outstanding balance. The EAD for
C&I revolving lines of credit equals the sum of the
funded balance and a portion of the unfunded commitment, which reflects the amount that is likely to
be drawn down by the borrower in the event of

default. This drawdown amount was estimated based
on the historical drawdown experience for defaulted
U.S. syndicated loans that are in the Shared National
Credit (SNC) database.45 The EAD for standby letters of credit and trade finance credit are conservatively assumed to equal the total commitment.
Other corporate loans that are similar in some
respects to C&I loans are modeled using the same
framework. These loans include owner-occupied
commercial real estate loans, capital equipment
leases, loans to depositories, and other loans.46 Projected losses on owner-occupied commercial real
estate loans are disclosed in total CRE losses, while
projected losses for the remaining other corporate
loans are disclosed in the other loans category.

assumed to be the same for income-producing properties and C&LD loans and is estimated using a
single model for both types of loans using historical
CMBS data.
The LGD for CRE mortgages is estimated using
Y-14 data on ASC 310-10 reserves. The model first
estimates the probability that a defaulted loan will
have losses as a function of loan characteristics and
macroeconomic variables, and then, using loans with
losses, estimates the loss on the CRE mortgage, as a
function of the expected probability of loss, characteristics of the loan, and macroeconomic variables.
Finally, the EAD for CRE mortgages is assumed to
equal the loan’s outstanding balance for amortizing
loans and the full committed balance for C&LD
loans.

Wholesale Lending: Commercial Real
Estate Mortgages

Retail Lending: Residential Mortgages

CRE mortgages are loans collateralized by domestic
and international multifamily or nonfarm, nonresidential properties, and construction and land
development loans (C&LD), as defined by the FR
Y-9C. Losses stemming from default on CRE mortgages are projected at the loan level using an
expected-loss modeling framework.

Residential mortgages held in BHC portfolios include
first and junior liens, either closed-end loans or
revolving credits, that are secured by one-to-fourfamily residential real estate as defined by the FR
Y-9C. Losses stemming from default on residential
mortgages are projected at the loan level using an
expected-loss modeling framework.47

The PD model for CRE mortgages is a hazard model
of the probability that a loan transitions from current to default status, given the characteristics of the
loan as well as macroeconomic variables such as
house prices and CRE vacancy rates, at both the geographic market and national level. Once defaulted,
the model assumes the loan does not re-perform; the
effect of re-performance on the estimated loan loss is
captured in the LGD model. A CRE mortgage loan
is considered in default if it is 90 days past due, in
non-accrual status, has an ASC 310-10 reserve, or
had a very low internal credit rating at the most
recent time its maturity was extended. The effect of
loan maturity on the PD is estimated to be different
for income-producing and C&LD loans, and is estimated separately for each loan type using historical
FR Y-14 data. However, the effect of other loan
characteristics and the macroeconomic variables is

The PD model for first-lien residential mortgages
estimates the probability that a loan transitions to
different payment statuses, including current, delinquent, default, and paid off. Separate PD models are
estimated for three types of closed-end, first-lien
mortgages: fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, and option
adjustable-rate mortgages. The PD model specification varies somewhat by loan type, but in general,
each model estimates the probability that a loan transitions from one payment state to another (e.g., from
current to delinquent or from delinquent to default)
over a single quarter, given the characteristics of the
loan, borrower, and underlying property as well as
macroeconomic variables such as local house prices,
the statewide unemployment rate, and interest rates.48
Origination vintage effects are also included in part
to capture unobserved characteristics of loan quality.
The historical data used to estimate this model are
industrywide, loan-level data from many banks and

SNCs have commitments of greater than $20 million and are
held by three or more regulated participating entities. See
www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/snc.htm for additional
information about SNCs.
The corporate loan category also includes loans that are dissimilar from typical corporate loans, such as securities lending
and farmland loans, which are generally a small share of BHC
portfolios. For these loans, a conservative and uniform loss rate
based on analysis of historical data was assigned.

47

48

To predict losses on new originations over the planning horizon,
newly originated loans are assumed to have the same risk characteristics as the existing portfolio, with the exception of the
loan age and delinquency status.
The effects of loan modification and evolving modification
practices are captured in the probability that a delinquent loan
transitions back to current status (re-performing loans).

mortgage loan originators. These estimated PD models are used to simulate default for each loan reported
by each BHC under the supervisory scenarios. Loans
that are 180 days or more past due as of September 30, 2013, are considered in default and are
assigned a PD of 100 percent.
The LGD for residential mortgages is estimated using
two models. One model estimates the amount of time
that elapses between default and real estate owned
(REO) disposition (timeline model), while the other
relates characteristics of the defaulted loan, such as
the property value at default, to one component of
losses net of recoveries—the proceeds from the sale
of the property net of foreclosure expenses (loss
model).49 These net proceeds are calculated from historical data on loan balances, servicer advances, and
losses from defaulted loans in private-label mortgagebacked securities (RMBS). These RMBS data are
also used to estimate the LGD loss model separately
for prime jumbo loans, subprime, and alt-A loans.50
Finally, using the elapsed time between default and
REO disposition estimated in the timeline model,
total estimated losses are allocated into credit losses
on the defaulted loans, which are fully written down
at the time of default, or net losses arising from the
eventual sale of the underlying property (other real
estate owned—or OREO—expenses), which flow
through PPNR. House price changes from the time
of default to foreclosure completion (REO acquisition) are captured in LGD, while house price changes
after foreclosure completion and before sale of the
property are captured in OREO expenses. The LGD
for loans already in default as of September 30, 2013,
includes further home price declines through the
point of foreclosure.
Home equity loans (HELs) are junior-lien, closedend loans, and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs)
are revolving open-end loans extended under lines of
credit, both secured by one-to-four-family residential
real estate as defined by the FR Y-9C. Losses stemming from default on HELs and HELOCs are pro49

50

Other components of losses net of recoveries are calculated
directly from available data. Private mortgage insurance is not
incorporated into the LGD models. Industry data suggest that
insurance coverage on portfolio loans is infrequent, and cancellation or nullification of guarantees was a common occurrence
during the recent downturn.
The differences between characteristics of mortgages in RMBS
and mortgages in bank portfolios, such as loan-to-value ratio
(LTV), are controlled for by including various risk characteristics in the LGD model, such as original LTV ratio, credit score,
and credit quality segment (prime, alt-A, and subprime).

jected at the loan level in an expected loss framework
that is similar to first-lien mortgages, with a few differences. For second-lien HELs and HELOCs that
are current as of September 30, 2013, but are behind
a seriously delinquent first-lien, the model assumes
elevated default rates under the supervisory scenarios. In addition, most HELOC contracts require
only payment of interest on the outstanding line balance during the period when the line can be drawn
upon (draw period). When the line reaches the end of
its draw period (end-of-draw), the outstanding line
balance either becomes immediately payable or converts to a fully amortizing loan. HELOCs that reach
the end-of-draw period are assumed to prepay at a
higher rate just prior to end-of-draw and to default at
a higher rate just after end-of-draw than HELOCs
that are still in their draw period. The LGD for
HELs and HELOCs is estimated using data from
private-label mortgage-backed securities, using the
same models used for closed-end first-lien, but the
estimated total mortgage losses for properties with a
defaulted HEL or HELOC are allocated based on the
lien position. Finally, for HELOCs, EAD is conservatively assumed to equal the credit limit.

Retail Lending: Credit Cards
Credit cards include both general purpose and
private-label credit cards, as well as charge cards, as
defined by the FR Y-9C. Credit card loans extended
to individuals are included in retail credit cards, while
credit cards loans extended to businesses and corporations are included in other retail lending and are
modeled separately. Losses stemming from defaults
on credit cards are projected at the loan level using
an expected-loss modeling framework.
The PD model for credit cards estimates the probability that a loan transitions from delinquency status
to default status, given the characteristics of the
account and borrower as well as macroeconomic
variables such as unemployment. When an account
defaults, it is assumed to be closed and does not
return to current status. Credit card loans are considered in default when they are 120 days past due.
Because the relationship between the PD and its
determinants can vary with the initial status of the
account, separate transition models are estimated for
accounts that are current and active, current and
inactive accounts, and delinquent accounts. In addition, because this relationship can also vary with time
horizons, separate transition models are estimated for
short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. The historical data used to estimate this model are industry-

March 2014

wide, loan-level data from many banks, and separate
models were estimated for bank cards and charge
cards. The PD model is used to forecast the PD for
each loan reported by each BHC in the Y-14M
report.
The LGD for credit cards is assumed to be a
fixed percentage and is calculated separately for bank
cards and charge cards based on historical industry
data on LGD during the most recent economic
downturn. The EAD for credit cards equals the sum
of the amount outstanding on the account and a
portion of the credit line, which reflects the amount
that is likely to be drawn down by the borrower
between the beginning of the planning horizon and
the time of default. This drawdown amount is estimated as a function of account and borrower characteristics. Because this relationship can vary with the
initial status of the account and time to default, separate models are estimated for current and delinquent
accounts and for accounts with short-, medium-, and
long-term transition to default. For accounts that are
current, separate models were also estimated for different credit-line-size segments.

Retail Lending: Auto
Auto loans are consumer loans extended for the purpose of purchasing new and used automobiles and
light motor vehicles as defined by the FR Y-9C.
Losses stemming from default in auto retail loan
portfolios are projected at the portfolio segment level
using an expected loss framework.
The PD model for auto loans estimates the probability that a loan transitions from either a current or
delinquent status to default status, given the characteristics of the loan and borrower as well as macroeconomic variables such as house prices and the
unemployment rate (which, in some cases, are interacted with loan and borrower characteristics to allow
for greater sensitivity to stressful conditions in highrisk segments). Default on auto loans is defined
based on either the payment status (120 days past
due), actions of the borrower (bankruptcy), or the
lender (repossession). Because the relationship
between the PD and its determinants can vary with
the initial status of the account, separate transition
models are estimated for accounts that are current
and delinquent accounts. The historical data used to
estimate this model are loan-level, credit bureau data.

ables. The historical data used to estimate this model
are pooled, segment-level data provided by the BHCs
on the FR Y-14Q. The EAD for auto loans is based
on the typical pattern of amortization of loans that
ultimately defaulted in historical credit bureau data.
The estimated EAD model captures the average
amortization by loan age for current and delinquent
loans over nine quarters.

Retail Lending: Other Retail Lending
Other retail lending includes the small business loan
portfolio, the other consumer loan portfolio, the student loan portfolio, the business and corporate credit
card portfolio, and international retail portfolio.
Losses due to default on other retail lending are forecast by modeling net charge-off rates as a function of
portfolio risk characteristics and macroeconomic
variables. This model is then used to predict future
charge-offs consistent with the macroeconomic variables provided in the supervisory scenarios.51 The
predicted net charge-off rate is applied to balances
projected by the Federal Reserve to estimate projected losses. Default is defined as 90 days or more
past due for domestic and international other consumer loans and 120 days or more past due for student loans, small business loans, corporate cards, and
international retail portfolios. The net charge-off rate
is modeled in a system of equations that also includes
the delinquency rate and the default rate. In general,
each rate is modeled in an autoregressive specification that also includes the rate in the previous delinquency state, characteristics of the underlying loans,
macroeconomic variables and, in some cases, seasonal factors. The models are specified to implicitly
capture roll-rate dynamics. In some cases, the characteristics of the underlying loans, such as dummy variables for each segment of credit score at origination,
are also interacted with the macroeconomic variables
to capture differences in sensitivities across risk segments to changes in the macroeconomic environment. Each retail product type is modeled separately
and, for each product type, economic theory and the
institutional characteristics of the product guide the
inclusion and lag structure of the macroeconomic
variables in the model.
Because of data limitations and the relatively small
size of these portfolios, the net charge-off rate for
each loan type is modeled using industry51

wide, monthly data at the segment level. For most
portfolios, these data are collected on the FR Y-14Q
Retail schedule, which segments each portfolio by
characteristics such as borrower credit score; loan
vintage; type of facility (e.g., installment versus
revolving); and, for international portfolios, geographic region.52
Charge-off rates are projected by applying the estimated system of equations to each segment of the
BHC’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2013. The
portfolio level charge-off rate equals the dollarweighted average of the segment-level charge-off
rates.53 These projected charge-off rates are applied
to the balances projected by the Federal Reserve to
calculate portfolio losses.

Loan-Loss Provisions for the Accrual
Loan Portfolio
Losses on the accrual loan portfolio flow into net
income through provisions for loan and lease losses.
Provisions for loan and lease losses equal projected
loan losses for the quarter plus the amount needed
for the ALLL to be at an appropriate level at the end
of the quarter, which is a function of projected future
loan losses. The appropriate level of ALLL at the end
of a given quarter is generally assumed to be the
amount needed to cover projected loan losses over
the next four quarters.54 Because this calculation of
ALLL is based on projected losses under the adverse
or severely adverse scenarios, it may differ from a
BHC’s actual level of ALLL at the beginning of the
planning horizon, which is based on the BHC’s
assessment of future losses in the current economic
environment. Any difference between these two
measures of ALLL is smoothed into the provisions
projection over the nine quarters of the planning
horizon. Because projected loan losses include offbalance-sheet commitments, the BHC’s allowance at
the beginning of the planning horizon for credit

Business and corporate credit card portfolio data, which previously were collected on the FR Y-14Q Retail schedule, are now
collected at the loan-level on the FR Y-14M Credit Card schedule and subsequently aggregated to the segment level.
The dollar weights used are based on the distribution reported
during the last observation period. This method assumes that
the distribution of loans across risk segments, other than delinquency status segments, remains constant over the projection
period.
For loan types modeled in a charge-off framework, the appropriate level of ALLL was adjusted to reflect the difference in
timing between the recognition of expected losses and that of
charge-offs.

losses on off-balance-sheet exposures (as reported on
the FR Y-9C) is subtracted from the provisions projection in equal amounts each quarter.

Other Losses
Loans Held for Sale or Measured under the
Fair-Value Option
Certain loans are not accounted for on an accrual
basis. Loans to which the fair-value option (FVO) is
applied are valued as mark-to-market assets. Loans
under the held-for-sale (HFS) and some loans under
the held-for-investment (HFI) accounting classifications are carried at the lower of cost or market value.
FVO, HFS, and HFI loan portfolios are identified by
the BHCs and reported on the FR Y-14. Losses
related to FVO, HFS, and HFI loans are recognized
in the income statement at the time of the
devaluation.
Losses are estimated by applying the macroeconomic
scenario to loans held in portfolio under FVO, HFS,
and HFI accounting. Losses on C&I and CRE loans
and commitments are estimated by revaluing each
loan or commitment each quarter using a stressed
discount yield (and spread for floating rate loans).
The initial discount yield is based on the loan or
commitment’s initial fair value, settlement date,
maturity date, and interest rate for fixed rate loans
and the rating, settlement date, and maturity date for
floating rate loans. Quarterly movements in the discount yield over the planning horizon are assumed to
equal the stressed change in corporate bond yields of
the same credit rating and maturity, adjusted for
potential changes in credit ratings. Commitments
that are less than fully funded are assumed to be fully
drawn down at the beginning of the planning period.
Gains on FVO loan hedges were modeled using a
similar methodology as one used for comparable
assets in the trading portfolio and were netted from
estimated losses on the FVO loans.
Losses on retail loans held under FVO, HFS, and
HFI accounting are estimated over the nine quarters
of the planning horizon using a duration-based
approach. This approach uses balances on these
loans reported on the FR Y-14, estimates of
portfolio-weighted duration, and quarterly changes
in stressed spreads from the macroeconomic scenario.
Estimates are calculated separately by vintage and
loan type. No losses are assumed for residential mort-

gage loans under forward contract with the
government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs).

Securities in the Available-for-Sale and
Held-to-Maturity Portfolios
If a security becomes OTTI then all or a portion of
the difference between the fair value and amortized
cost of the security must be recognized in earnings.55
Losses on OTTI securities are projected using a suite
of OTTI models described below.
The OTTI models are designed to incorporate otherthan-temporary differences between amortized cost
and fair market value due to credit impairment but
not differences reflecting changes in liquidity or market conditions. Some AFS/HTM securities, including
U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency obligations and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), are assumed not to be at risk for
the kind of credit impairment that results in OTTI
charges. The remaining securities can be grouped into
two basic categories: securitizations, where the value
of the security depends on the value of an underlying
pool of collateral, and direct obligations such as corporate or sovereign bonds, where the value of the
security depends primarily on the credit quality of
the issuer.56
In all, 10 separate models are used to project OTTI,
reflecting differences in the basic structure of the
securities (securitized versus direct obligation) and
differences in underlying collateral and obligor type.
Overall, the OTTI projections involve CUSIP-level
analysis of more than 60,000 individual positions at
the 30 BHCs.
For securitized obligations, credit and prepayment
models estimate delinquency, default, severity, and
prepayment vectors on the underlying pool of collateral under the supervisory scenarios. In most cases,
these projections incorporate relatively detailed information on the underlying collateral characteristics for
each individual security, derived from commercial
databases that contain collateral and security structure information. Delinquency, default, severity, and
prepayment vectors are projected either using econometric models developed by the Federal Reserve or
third-party models designed to project these esti55

56

A security is considered impaired when the fair value of the
security falls below its amortized cost.
Equities are also held in the AFS portfolios, although in small
amounts. Losses on these positions under each scenario are calculated based on projected equity price changes.

71

mates in stressed economic environments. The models used vary with the type of underlying collateral
but generally estimate the relationship between the
collateral’s performance vectors and economic variables, such as the unemployment rate and house
prices. These vectors are then applied to a cash flow
engine that captures the specific structure of each
security (e.g., tranche, subordination, and payment
rules) to calculate the intrinsic value (present value of
the cash flows) for that security. If the projected
intrinsic value is less than amortized cost, then the
security is considered to be other than temporarily
impaired, and OTTI is calculated as the difference
between amortized cost and intrinsic value.
For direct obligations, the basic approach is to assess
the PD or severe credit deterioration for each security
issuer or group of security issuers over the planning
horizon. PD is either modeled directly or inferred by
modeling changes in expected frequency of default or
credit default swap (CDS) spreads for the bonds in
question. A security is considered other than temporarily impaired if the projected value of the PD or
CDS spread crossed a predetermined threshold
level—generally the level consistent with a CCC/Caa
rating—at any point during the planning horizon.
LGD on these securities is based on historical data
on bond recovery rates. OTTI is calculated as the difference between the bond’s amortized cost and its
projected value under the supervisory scenarios.57
After a security is written down as OTTI, the difference between its original value and the post-OTTI
value is assumed to be invested in securities with the
same risk characteristics. Increases projected by the
Federal Reserve in a BHCs securities portfolio after
September 30, 2013, are assumed to be in short-term,
riskless assets, and no OTTI charges are assigned to
these securities. This assumption is also consistent
with historical data showing that the composition of
the AFS and HTM portfolios tends to shift toward
U.S. Treasury and agency obligations in times of economic stress.
In addition, under the revised regulatory capital
rules, the difference between the amortized cost
(accounting for any OTTI charges) and fair value of
AFS securities and also on HTM securities that have
57

Trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (TruPS CDOs),
not specifically exempted from the Volcker Rule “covered
funds” prohibition under the interim final rule issued on January 14, 2014, were written down each quarter to their fair value
until they were sold on June 30, 2015. For all other TruPS
CDOs, credit-related OTTI write-downs were estimated to
occur at a rate similar to that of other credit-sensitive securities.

had a recognition of OTTI will be phased into the
calculation of regulatory capital for advanced
approaches BHCs.58 To address this change in the
calculation of regulatory capital, the Federal Reserve
has added a new model to estimate changes in the
fair value of AFS securities.
The AFS fair value model is designed to project
quarterly changes in the prices of available-for-sale
(AFS) securities under the supervisory scenarios. In
this model, each security is re-priced using one of
three methods depending on the asset class of the
security—a duration-based approach, generic revaluation, or model-based revaluation. The durationbased approach is taken for all AFS securities except
Treasury securities and agency RMBS. This
approach approximates the quarterly price path for a
security over a nine-quarter planning horizon using
projected changes in the security’s yield and its initial
effective duration. The yields used in the approximation vary over the projection period with changes in
Treasury yields and the securities’ option-adjusted
spread. Separate yield projections were estimated for
securities in different asset classes, and with different
credit ratings, and maturities. In the generic revaluation method, U.S. Treasury securities are directly
re-priced using a simple present-value calculation
that incorporates the timing and amount of contractual cash flows and quarterly Treasury yields from
the macroeconomic scenario. In the model-based
revaluation, agency RMBS are revalued using a
security-specific pricing model to capture the effect of
embedded options on the cash flows of each security.

Trading and Private Equity
Total potential mark-to-market losses stemming from
trading positions under a stressed market environment can be broken into two primary types. The first
type of loss arises from a decrease in the market
value of trading positions, regardless of the BHC’s
58

For purposes of DFAST 2014, an advanced approaches BHC
includes any BHC that has consolidated assets greater than or
equal to $250 billion or total consolidated on-balance-sheet foreign exposure of at least $10 billion as of December 31, 2013.
The advanced approaches BHCs in DFAST 2014 are American
Express Company, Bank of America Corporation, The Bank of
New York Mellon Corporation, Capital One Financial Corporation, Citigroup, Inc., The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., HSBC
North America Holdings, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, Northern Trust Corporation, The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc., State Street Corporation, U.S. Bancorp,
Wells Fargo & Company. Non-advanced approaches BHCs may
elect to opt out of including AOCI in capital. For the purpose
of DFAST 2014, the Federal Reserve assumed that all nonadvanced approaches BHCs would opt out of including AOCI.

counterparties. The second type is the counterparty
credit risk associated with changes in counterparty
exposures and with deterioration of counterparties’
creditworthiness under stressed market conditions,
which adversely affects the riskiness of positively valued trading positions. The models used to project
losses on trading positions under the global market
shock account for both sources of potential losses,
generally relying on information provided by firms
on estimated sensitivities of their exposures to specific risk factor shocks. Because positions in the trading account are mark-to-market on a daily basis, the
approach used to generate loss projections on trading
positions is intended to capture the market-value
effect of the global market shock.
Losses on trading positions, such as equities, FX,
interest rates, commodities, credit products, private
equity, and other fair-value assets, arising from the
global market shock are calculated using the BHCs’
own estimates of the sensitivity of the value of these
positions to changes in a wide range of market rates,
prices, spreads, and volatilities. Trading losses are calculated by multiplying these sensitivities by the risk
factor changes included in the global market shock
developed by the Federal Reserve or by interpolating
the change in position values from BHC-supplied
Profit/(Loss) grids. These shocks are assumed to be
instantaneous and no additional hedging, recovery in
value, or changes in positions are incorporated into
the loss calculation.
Losses in the global market shock include losses from
credit valuation adjustments (CVA) and trading
incremental default risk (IDR) of the six BHCs with
large trading positions. CVAs are adjustments above
and beyond the mark-to-market valuation of the
BHCs’ trading portfolios that capture changes in the
risk that a counterparty to derivatives transaction or
other trading position will default on its obligations.
Using detailed data provided by the six trading
BHCs on the FR Y-14A Counterparty schedule, each
trading firm’s baseline and stressed CVA for each
counterparty is calculated as a function of unstressed
and stressed values of exposure, PD, and LGD. CVA
losses equal the difference between the baseline and
the stressed CVAs.
In addition to CVA and other mark-to-market losses
on trading positions, default risk in the trading book
is captured through IDR. IDR estimates the potential additional loss stemming from the default of
obligors in excess of the mark-to-market losses in the
trading book. IDR estimates the losses from jump-

March 2014

to-default in the tail of the distribution of defaults,
where the tail percentile is calibrated to the severity
of the macroeconomic scenario.
The IDR models estimate losses from jump-todefault for various exposure types, including singlename, index and index-tranche, and securitizations,
at different levels of granularity depending on exposure type. The loss estimates are based on simulation
models of obligor-level defaults. The IDR loss models rely on position and exposure data provided by
the firms. IDR losses occur over nine quarters.
Losses on trading positions as a result of a global
market shock were estimated only for the six BHCs
with large trading operations since trading operations determine risk and performance to a larger
extent at these firms than at any other BHCs participating in DFAST 2014. In addition, the Federal
Reserve’s projections of PPNR for all 30 BHCs
incorporate the effect of the supervisory scenarios on
the revenues generated by day-to-day trading activities, such as market-making for customers and
clients.

Largest counterparty default
To estimate losses from the default of counterparties
to derivatives and securities financing agreements, the
Federal Reserve applied a counterparty default component to the eight BHCs that have substantial trading or custodial operations. The loss is based on the
assumed instantaneous and unexpected default of a
BHC’s largest counterparty, defined as the counterparty that would produce the largest total net
stressed loss if it were to default on all of its derivative and securities financing agreements. Net stressed
loss was estimated using net stressed current exposure (CE), which is derived by applying the global
market shock to the unstressed positions as well as
any collateral posted or received. For derivative
agreements, applicable CDS hedges and CVA were
netted from the net stressed current exposure. A
recovery rate of 10 percent was assumed for both net
stressed CE and applicable CDS hedges. The recovery value equals the value at the time of default as
reflected in market prices.
Similar to the global market shock component, the
loss associated with the counterparty default component occurs in the first quarter of the projection and
is an add-on to the macroeconomic conditions and
financial market environment in the supervisory scenarios. Certain sovereign entities (Canada, France,

73

Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the
United States) and designated clearing counterparties
were excluded when selecting the largest
counterparty.

Losses Related to Operational-Risk Events
Losses related to operational-risk events are a component of PPNR and include losses stemming from
events such as fraud, employee lawsuits, or computer
system or other operating disruptions. Operationalrisk loss estimates include historically-based loss estimates, based on the average of three approaches, and
estimates of potential costs from unfavorable litigation outcomes, which reflect elevated litigation risk
and the associated increase in legal reserves observed
in recent years. In all three models, a panel regression
model, a loss distribution approach (LDA), and a
historical simulation approach, projections of
operational-risk-related losses for the 30 BHCs are
modeled for each of seven operational-risk categories
identified in the Board’s advanced approaches rule.59
All three models are based on historical operationalloss data submitted by the BHCs on the FR Y-14Q.
In the panel regression model, projections of losses
related to operational-risk events are the product of
two primary components: loss frequency and loss
severity. The expected loss frequency is the estimated
number of operational-loss events in the supervisory
scenario, while loss severity is the estimated loss per
event in each category. Loss frequency is modeled as
a function of macroeconomic variables and BHCspecific characteristics. The model is estimated using
FR Y-14Q data on operational-loss events as
reported by BHCs. Macroeconomic variables, such as
the real GDP growth rate, stock market return and
volatility, credit spread, and the unemployment rate,
are included directly in the panel regression model
and/or used to project certain firm-specific characteristics. Loss is projected as a product of projected loss
frequency from the panel regression model and loss
severity, which equals the historical dollar loss per
event in each operational-risk category. Total losses
related to operational-risk events equal losses
summed across operational-risk categories. Because
the relationship between the frequency of
59

The seven operational-loss event type categories identified in the
Federal Reserve’s advanced approaches rule are internal fraud;
external fraud; employment practices and workplace safety; clients, products, and business practices; damage to physical
assets; business disruption and system failures; and execution,
delivery, and process management. See 12 CFR part 217, subpart E.

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

operational-risk events and macroeconomic conditions varies across the categories, separate models
were estimated for each category.60
In the LDA model, expected losses related to
operational-risk conditional on the macroeconomic
scenarios are proxied by the losses at different percentiles of simulated, annualized loss distributions.
The loss frequency is assumed to follow a Poisson
distribution, in which the estimated intensity parameter of the Poisson distribution is specific to each
event type and BHC. A loss severity distribution is
also fit to each event type for each BHC.61 The distribution of aggregate annual losses is simulated, and
the macroeconomic scenario is implicitly incorporated in the results through the percentile choice,
which was based on analysis of historical loss data
for all BHCs taken together. The approach used to
choose the percentile for each scenario essentially targets the total loss forecast for all BHCs and allows
the LDA approach to split this loss among the individual BHCs and event types. Loss forecasts for an
individual BHC are the sum of the BHCs’ loss estimates for each event type.
In the third approach—the historical simulation
approach—the distribution of aggregate annual
losses are simulated by repeatedly drawing the annual
event frequency from the same distribution used in
the LDA, but the severity of those events was drawn
from historical realized loss data rather than an estimated loss severity distribution. Losses from the
same percentile of the distribution as in the LDA are
used to approximate the supervisory scenarios.

Mortgage Repurchase Losses
Mortgage repurchase expenses are a component of
PPNR and are related to litigation, or to demands by
mortgage investors to repurchase loans deemed to
have breached representations and warranties, or to
60

61

Operational-risk losses due to damage to physical assets, and
business disruption and system failure, employment practices,
and workplace safety are not expected to be dependent on the
macroeconomic environment and therefore were set equal to
each BHC’s average nine-quarter operational-risk loss in that
category. External fraud losses of firms focused on credit card
activities were modeled using each BHC’s average quarterly
losses during the period from the beginning of the financial crisis in the third quarter of 2007 through the second quarter of
2009.
Multiple candidate specifications for the distribution were fit to
the data, and the final specification was chosen based on a number of criteria, including a measure of goodness-of-fit.

loans insured by the U.S. government for which coverage could be denied if loan defects are identified.
Mortgage repurchase losses for loans sold with representations and warranties liability are estimated in
two parts. The first part is to estimate credit losses
for all loans sold by a BHC that have outstanding
representations and warranties liability, including
loans sold as whole loans, into private-label securities
(PLS) or to a GSE (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) or
loans insured by the government. This part takes into
account both losses recognized to date and future
losses projected over the remaining lifetime of the
loans. The second part is to estimate the share of this
credit loss that may be ultimately put back to the selling BHC (whether through contractual repurchase, a
settlement agreement, or litigation loss).
Future credit loss rates for mortgages (e.g., grouped
by vintage and investor type) are projected using
industrywide data and models that incorporate the
house price assumptions in the supervisory scenario.62 For GSE loans, industrywide credit loss rates
are adjusted to reflect the relative credit performance
of loans sold by each BHC and are applied to the
BHC’s outstanding balances. These estimates are
based on vintage-level data on original and current
unpaid balances, current delinquency status, and
losses recognized to date.
The share of past and future credit losses likely to be
ultimately put back to the selling BHCs (the “putback rate”) is estimated separately for each investor
type. For whole loans and loans sold into PLS, the
estimated put-back rate is based on information from
recent settlement activities in the banking industry
and incorporates adjustments for supervisory assessments of BHC-specific put-back risk. For
government-insured loans, the estimated put-back
rate is also based on information from recent settlement activities. Finally, for loans sold to Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, the estimated put-back rate is
based on historical information on the repurchases of
loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, with consideration given to the relative seasoning of each vintage and the time interval between default and
demand.
62

The data used to model credit losses for government-insured
loans and loans sold to GSEs were loans randomly selected
from an industry database. The data used to model credit losses
for loans sold into private-label securities and as whole loans
were loans in proxy deals chosen based on the dealer, issuer, and
originator information contained in the database.

March 2014

Pre-provision Net Revenue
PPNR is forecast using a series of autoregressive
models that relate the components of a BHC’s revenues and non-credit-related expenses, expressed as a
share of relevant asset or liability balances, to BHC
characteristics, and to macroeconomic variables.
These models are estimated using historical, mergeradjusted data from the FR Y-9C. Separate models
are estimated for 22 different components of PPNR,
including eight components of interest income, five
components of interest expense, five components of
noninterest non-trading income, three components of
noninterest expenses, and trading revenue. When
choosing the level of detail at which to model the
components of PPNR, consideration is given both to
the BHCs’ business models and the ability to accurately model small components of revenue. Movements in PPNR stemming from operational-risk
events, mortgage repurchases, or OREO are modeled
in separate frameworks, described earlier in this
document. The PPNR model estimates and projections are adjusted where appropriate to avoid doublecounting movements associated with these items. In
addition, gains or losses associated with debt valuation adjustments (DVA) are removed from the historical PPNR data series used to estimate the model,
and, as a result, PPNR projections do not include
DVA gains or losses under the supervisory scenarios.

75

variables and to exclude the effect of the global market shock, net trading revenue is modeled using a
median regression approach to lessen the influence of
extreme movements in trading revenue associated
with the recent financial crisis. Trading revenues for
the remaining BHCs are modeled in a framework
similar to that of other PPNR components.

Balance Sheet Items and
Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs)
The BHC balance sheet is projected based on a
model that relates industrywide loan and non-loan
asset growth to each other and to broader economic
variables including a proxy for loan supply. The
model allows for both long-run relationships between
the industry aggregates and macroeconomic variables, as well as short-term dynamics that cause
deviations from these relationships. It is estimated
using industry aggregate data from the Federal
Reserve’s Financial Accounts of the United States
and from the National Income and Product
Accounts.

The model specification varies somewhat by PPNR
component. But in general, each component is
related to characteristics of the BHCs, including, in
some cases, total assets, asset composition, funding
sources, and liabilities. In some PPNR components,
these measures of BHC portfolio and business activity do not adequately capture the significant variation across BHCs, so BHC-specific controls are
included in the models for these components. Macroeconomic variables used to project PPNR include
yields on Treasury securities, corporate bond yields,
mortgage rates, real GDP, and stock market price
movements and volatility. The specific macroeconomic variables differ across equations based on statistical predictive power and economic interpretation.

Industry loan and asset growth rates are projected
over the planning horizon using the macroeconomic
variables prescribed in the supervisory scenario. Over
this horizon, each BHC is assumed to maintain a
constant share of the industry’s total assets, total
loans, and total trading assets. In addition, each
BHC is assumed to maintain a constant mix within
their loan and trading asset categories. These
assumptions are applied as follows. Each category of
loans at a BHC is assumed to grow at the projected
rate of total loans in the industry. Each category of
trading assets at a BHC is assumed to grow as a function of both the projected rate of total assets and the
market value of trading assets in the industry. All
other BHC’s assets are assumed to grow at the projected rate of non-loan assets in the industry. The
BHC’s security portfolio is the residual category, and
its level is set such that the sum of security and nonsecurity assets grows at the projected rate of total
assets. Growth in securities is assumed to be in shortterm, riskless assets.

Because trading revenues are volatile, forecasts of
PPNR from trading activities at the six BHCs subject
to the global market shock are modeled in the aggregate and then allocated to each BHC based on a
measure of the BHC’s market share. In addition,
because forecasts of trading revenues are intended to
include the effect of the relevant macroeconomic

Balance sheet projections incorporated expected
changes to a BHC’s business plan, such as mergers,
acquisition, and divestitures, that are likely to have a
material impact on the its capital adequacy and funding profile. BHC-submitted data were used to adjust
the projected balance sheet in the quarter when the
change was expected to occur. Once adjusted, assets

76

Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

were assumed to grow at the same rate as the preadjusted balance sheet. Only divestitures that were
either completed or contractually agreed upon before
January 6, 2014, were incorporated.
Estimating risk-weighted assets (RWAs) under the
two different regulatory capital regimes in place over
the planning horizon requires the calculation of three
RWA components: market risk-weighted assets
(MRWAs) and two types of credit RWAs, generalized
RWAs under the capital framework that was in effect
as of October 1, 2013, and standardized RWAs under
the revised capital framework. For asset categories
subject to the market risk rule, the five components
of MRWAs are value at risk (VaR), stressed VaR
(SVaR), incremental risk charge, specific risk charge,
and comprehensive risk charge. The SVaR and the
specific and comprehensive risk charges are assumed
to evolve according to projections of the BHCs trading assets. VaR and the incremental risk charge are
updated using the estimated volatility of the trading
portfolio, which is a function of stock market volatility in the supervisory scenarios, and the growth in
trading assets.
For all asset categories not subject to the market risk
rule, generalized risk weights are imputed from FR
Y-9C data. These weights are held fixed throughout
the forecast horizon to reflect an assumption that the
credit portfolio’s underlying risk features remain constant throughout the horizon. In computing standardized RWAs, these generalized risk weights are
adjusted to reflect the standardized approach by
applying the risk weight differences between the two
approaches to the relevant exposures. Estimates of
the additional capital requirements for past due exposures under the standardized approach are consistent
with the estimated loss forecast for that exposure.

late after-tax net income over the projection period.63
Projected after-tax net income, combined with the
capital action assumptions prescribed in the DoddFrank Act stress test rules, are used to project
quarter-by-quarter changes in equity capital.64
The change in equity capital equals projected aftertax net income minus capital distributions (dividends
and any other actions that disperse equity), plus any
employee compensation-related issuance or other
corporate actions that increase equity, plus other
comprehensive income and other equity adjustments
that are consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act stress
test rules.
DVA, goodwill and intangible assets (other than
mortgage and non-mortgage servicing assets), and
components of AOCI other than unrealized gains
(losses) on AFS securities are assumed to remain
constant over the planning horizon. The Federal
Reserve included the effects of certain planned mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures. BHC-submitted data
regarding these changes were incorporated into estimates of goodwill and intangible assets. BHC projections of tier 2 capital, other than includable ALLL,
and extraordinary items were incorporated into capital calculations. Similarly, certain non-common elements of tier 1 capital were incorporated for revised
capital calculations.
Projected changes in equity capital in turn determine
changes in tier 1 common and regulatory capital.
63

64

Equity Capital and Regulatory
Capital
The final modeling step translates the projections of
revenues, expenses, losses, and provisions from the
models described above into estimates of tier 1 common and regulatory capital for each BHC under the
supervisory scenarios. The projected components of
pre-tax net income are summed to estimate taxable
income, incorporating each BHC’s reported one-time
revenue and expense items. A consistent tax rate
across all BHCs is applied to taxable income to calcu-

For a discussion of the effect of changing this tax rate assumption on the post stress tier 1 common ratio, see box 2 of Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (2012), “DoddFrank Act Stress Test 2013: Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results,” available at www.federalreserve.gov/
newsevents/press/bcreg/20130307a.htm.
The Federal Reserve used the following capital action assumptions in projecting post-stress capital levels and ratios: (1) for the
fourth quarter of 2013, each company’s actual capital actions as
of the end of that quarter; (2) for each quarter from the first
quarter of 2014 through the end of 2015, each company’s projections of capital included: (i) common stock dividends equal
to the quarterly average dollar amount of common stock dividends that the company paid in the previous year (that is, from
first through the fourth quarter of 2013); (ii) payments on any
other instrument that is eligible for inclusion in the numerator
of a regulatory capital ratio equal to the stated dividend, interest, or principal due on such instrument during the quarter; and
(iii) an assumption of no redemption, repurchase, or issuance of
any capital instrument that is eligible for inclusion in the
numerator of a regulatory capital ratio, except for common
stock issuances associated with expensed employee compensation. These assumptions are consistent with the capital action
assumptions companies are required to use in their Dodd-Frank
Act company-run stress tests. See 12 CFR 252.56(b)(2).

March 2014

Tier 1 common capital is calculated using the definition of capital applicable as of October 1, 2013, in
keeping with the interim final rules the Board published in September 2013. However, regulatory capital is calculated consistent with the revised capital
framework that is in effect during the projected quarter of the planning horizon. The definition of regulatory capital changes throughout the planning horizon, in accordance with the transition arrangements
in the revised capital framework approved by the
Board in July 2013. For example, at the beginning of
the planning horizon, projected tier 1 capital includes
limited amounts of trust preferred securities and
cumulative perpetual preferred securities, but the
revised capital framework excludes those securities
from tier 1 capital beginning in 2014 for advanced
approaches BHCs and in 2015 for other BHCs. In
addition, projected regulatory capital at advanced
approaches BHCs includes 20 percent of eligible
AOCI in 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI in 2015.

77

Capital ratios are calculated incorporating the Federal Reserve projections of average total assets and
risk-weighted assets. The tier 1 common ratio was
calculated based on the generalized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets in all quarters of the
planning horizon. All risk-based capital ratios incorporated the generalized approach for calculating riskweighted assets in projections of the first five quarters of the planning horizon (fourth quarter 2013
through fourth quarter 2014) and the standardized
approach for calculating risk-weighted assets in projections of the last four quarters of the planning
horizon (first quarter 2015 through fourth quarter
2015). Projected capital levels and ratios were not
adjusted to account for any differences between projected and actual performance of the BHCs during
the time the supervisory stress test results were being
produced in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first
quarter of 2014.

Average assets is the nine-quarter average of total assets.
Pre-provision net revenue includes losses from operational-risk events,
mortgage repurchase expenses, and other real estate owned (OREO) costs.
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in
pre-provision net revenue.
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation
adjustments (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default
scenario component applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase
agreement activities.
Other losses/gains includes projected change in fair value of loans held for sale
and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option.
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for advanced approaches
BHCs, as only those BHCs include accumulated other comprehensive income
(AOCI) in calculations of regulatory capital. Other comprehensive income
includes incremental unrealized losses/gains on AFS securities and on any
HTM securities that have experienced other than temporary impairment.
For advanced approaches BHCs, 20 percent of AOCI is included in capital
calculations for 2014 and 40 percent of AOCI is included in capital calculations
for 2015. For the purposes of this stress test cycle, non-advanced approaches
BHCs are assumed to opt-out of including AOCI in their capital calculations.

The capital ratios are calculated using capital action assumptions provided
within the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing rule. These projections represent
hypothetical estimates that involve an economic outcome that is more adverse
than expected. These estimates are not forecasts of expected losses, revenues,
net income before taxes, or capital ratios. The minimum capital ratio presented
is for the period Q4 2013 to Q4 2015.

Advanced approaches bank holding companies (BHCs) are subject to the
common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of 2014. All bank holding
companies are subject to the common equity tier 1 ratio for each quarter of
2015. For purposes of this stress test cycle, an advanced approaches BHC
includes any BHC that has consolidated assets greater than or equal to
$250 billion or total consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposure of at least
$10 billion as of December 31, 2013. See 12 CFR 217.100(b)(1); 12 CFR part
