P2P: How To Use Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Forecasting

Introduction to Risk-Based Capital Forecasting

Callahan & Associates is proud to announce the latest enhancement to Peer-to-Peer, Risk-Based Capital Forecasting. Peer-to-Peer now features the ability to input assumptions for both the weights of risk-based capital components and how much the components will grow. This enables Peer-to-Peer to forecast what a credit union’s risk-based capital ratio would be three years into the future. Risk-Based Capital Forecasting is located under Hot Topics within the Risk-Based Capital Ratio folder.

There are two ways that users can forecast differences in the risk-based capital ratio. First is that users can input different weights under the Weight column, allowing for different assumptions about what the final rule may look like or comparison to weights used by other financial regulators. Second is that users can enter an annual growth rate in the Growth Assumption column, which will then assume that component will grow by that amount each year for the next three years. Any changes made to either of these will update the related numbers within the report, and result in changes to the risk-based capital ratio forecasts in the last line of the report. To reset the weights and growth assumptions, there is a reset button located in the top row of the report.

    • Excludes NGNs
  • > 3 to 5 Years = a799c1-a738c-a739c
    • Excludes NGNs
  • > 5 to 10 Years = a799c2-a738d-a739d
    • Excludes NGNs
  • > 10 Years = a799d-a738e-a739e
    • Excludes NGNs
  • Corporate CU Membership Capital = a769a
  • PIC/Perpetual Contributed Capital = a769b
• Loans
  • Nondelinquent Nonfederally Guaranteed Student Loans = a698a-a041t
  • Nondelinquent Other Loans = A025B – A703 – A386 – A041B – A698A + A041T + A713A + A714A + A715A + A716A + A718 + A400F – A400
    • Includes consumer loans such as credit cards and auto loans
