Standard Chartered - Pillar 3 Disclosures 2023

1. Introduction

Introduction

1.1 Purpose and basis of preparation

The Pillar 3 disclosures comprise information on the underlying drivers of risk-weighted assets (RWA), capital, leverage and liquidity ratios as at 31 December 2023 in accordance with the United Kingdom's (UK) onshored Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA) Rulebook.

The disclosures have been prepared in line with the disclosure templates introduced by the PRA Policy Statement PS22/21 'Implementation of Basel standards: Final rules published in October 2021.

This report presents the annual Pillar 3 disclosures of Standard Chartered PLC ('the Group') as at 31 December 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report and Accounts.

The information presented in this Pillar 3 report is not required to be, and has not been, subjected to external audit.

1.2 Highlights

  • The Group's capital and leverage position is managed within the Board-approved risk appetite. The Group is well capitalised with low leverage and high levels of loss-absorbing capacity
  • The Group is well capitalised with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.1 per cent, well ahead of the current requirement of 10.5 per cent
  • The Group is not highly leveraged and its leverage ratio of 4.7 per cent is well ahead of the current leverage requirement of 3.7 per cent
  • The Group continues to manage its balance sheet proactively, with a particular focus on the efficient management of RWA

Standard Chartered applies regulatory transitional arrangements to accounting provisions recognised from 1 January 2018 under IFRS 9, as permitted by paragraph 4 of article 473a of the Capital Requirements Regulation, introduced by Regulation (EU) 2017/2395 and amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/873 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Under this approach, the balance of expected credit loss (ECL) provisions in excess of the regulatory defined expected loss (EL) and additional ECL on standardised portfolios, net of

related tax, are phased into the CET1 capital base over five years. The proportion phased in for the increase in the balance on day one of IFRS 9 adoption, and any subsequent increase to 31 December 2019 is 2020, 30 per cent; 2021, 50 per cent; and 2022, 75 per cent. From 2023 onwards there is no transitional relief on these components. The proportion phased in for any increase in the balance from 1 January 2020 at each reporting date is 2020, 0 per cent; 2021, 0 per cent; 2022, 25 per cent; 2023, 50%; 2024, 75%. From 2025 there is no transitional relief.

Standard Chartered - Pillar 3 Disclosures 2023

Pillar 3 disclosures

Introduction

1.4 Regulatory disclosure framework

The Group complies with the Basel III framework as implemented in the United Kingdom. The Basel III framework is built on the three pillars of the Basel II framework.

Pillar 1: Sets the minimum capital requirements for credit risk, market risk and operational risk

Pillar 2: Considers through the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process whether further capital is required in addition to Pillar 1 calculations

Pillar 3: Aims to provide a consistent and comprehensive disclosure framework that enhances comparability between banks and further promotes improvements in risk management. Pillar 3 requires all material risks to be disclosed, enabling a comprehensive view of the bank's risk profile

The Pillar 3 Disclosures 2023 comprise all information required to be included in the UK and are prepared at the Group consolidated level. Where disclosure has been withheld as proprietary or non-material, as permitted by the rules, appropriate comment has been included. It is the Group's intention that the Pillar 3 Disclosures be viewed as an integral, albeit separately reported, element of the Annual Report and Accounts. The Group considers a number of factors in determining where disclosure is made between the Annual Report and Accounts and Pillar 3, including International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), regulatory requirements and industry best practice. Pages 8 to 11 of this document provide a summary of differences and cross references between the Annual Report and Accounts and the Pillar 3 Disclosures.

Remuneration

The qualitative Pillar 3 remuneration disclosures for the 2023 performance year are set out on pages 182 to 207 of the Directors' remuneration report in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts. Information is provided on the key components of our remuneration approach and how we develop our approach. The disclosures follow the requirements set out in Part 8 of the CRR and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards issued in March 2017.

G-SIB

The Group has been identified as a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) since November 2012. The Group's score from the BCBS's methodology for assessing and identifying G-SIBs has resulted in an additional loss-absorbency requirement of 1 per cent of CET1. Article 441 of chapter 4 of the 'Disclosure (CRR)' part of the PRA Rulebook requires the Group to publicly disclose the value of its Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) indicators on an annual basis. The terms 'G-SIB' and 'G-SII' are interchangeable - 'G-SIB' is used by the FSB and Basel Committee, whereas the PRA refers to 'G-SII'. The Standard Chartered PLC G-SII disclosure is published on: https://www. sc.com/en/investors/financial-results/.

Frequency

In accordance with Group policy the Pillar 3 Disclosures are made quarterly as at 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and

31 December in line with Article 432 of the CRR. Disclosures are published on the Standard Chartered PLC website aligning with the publication date of the Group's Interim, Half Year and Annual Report and Accounts.

Verification

Whilst the Pillar 3 Disclosures 2023 are not required to be externally audited, the document has been verified internally in accordance with the Group's policies on disclosure and its financial reporting and governance processes. Controls comparable to those for the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts have been applied to confirm compliance with PRA regulations.

  • Items excluded on the grounds of materiality:
    • Quantitative disclosures of specialised lending exposures where the simple risk-weight approach is used, non- deducted participations in insurance undertakings, composition of collateral for exposures to derivatives and securities financing transactions, off-balance sheet collateral received, effect on the RWAs of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques and Collateral obtained by taking possession and execution processes
    • Qualitative and quantitative disclosures on exposures to equities not included in the trading book

1.5 Risk management

Effective risk management is essential in delivering consistent and sustainable performance for all our stakeholders and is a central part of the financial and operational management of the Group. One of the main risks we incur arises from extending credit to customers through our trading and lending operations. Beyond Credit Risk, we are also exposed to a range of other risk types such as Traded Risk, Treasury Risk, Operational & Technology Risk, Reputational & Sustainability,

Compliance Risk, Information and Cyber Security Risk, Financial Crime Risk, Model Risk.

In the Risk management approach section of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts, we outline our approach and strategy for managing risk. We discuss our risk management practices, monitoring and mitigation, and governance in relation to our main activities and significant risks.

Introduction

Principal Risks

PRTs are risks inherent in our strategy and business model. These are formally defined in our ERMF, which provides a structure for monitoring and controlling these risks through the Risk Appetite Statement. We will not compromise compliance with our Risk Appetite in order to pursue revenue growth or higher returns.

The table below provides an overview of the Group's PRTs and their corresponding risk appetite statements.

Principal Risk Types

Risk Appetite Statement

Credit Risk

The Group manages its credit exposures following the principle of diversification across products,

geographies, client segments and industry sectors. (refer to section Credit risk in pages 320 to 322 of the

2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Traded Risk

The Group should control its financial markets and activities to ensure that market and counterparty credit

risk losses do not cause material damage to the Group's franchise. (refer to section Traded risk on pages

323 to 324 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Treasury Risk

The Group should maintain sufficient capital, liquidity and funding to support its operations, and an

interest rate profile ensuring that the reductions in earnings or value from movements in interest rates

impacting banking book items does not cause material damage to the Group's franchise. In addition, the

Group should ensure its Pension plans are adequately funded. (refer to section Treasury risk on pages 325

to 326 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Operational and

The Group aims to control operational and technology risks to ensure that operational losses (financial or

Technology Risk

reputational), including those related to the conduct of business matters, do not cause material damage to

the Group's franchise. (refer to section Operational and Technology risk on pages 327 to 328 of the 2023

Annual Report and Accounts)

Financial Crime Risk

The Group has no appetite for breaches of laws and regulations related to Financial Crime, recognising

that whilst incidents are unwanted, they cannot be entirely avoided. (refer to section Financial Crime risk on

page 329 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Compliance Risk

The Group has no appetite for breaches of laws and regulations related to regulatory non-compliance;

recognizing that whilst incidents are unwanted, they cannot be entirely avoided. (refer to section

Compliance risk on page 330 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Information and Cyber

The Group aims to mitigate and control ICS risks to ensure that incidents do not cause the Bank material

Security Risk

harm, business disruption, financial loss or reputational damage - recognising that whilst incidents are

unwanted, they cannot be entirely avoided. (refer to section Information and Cyber Security risk on page

331 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Reputational and

The Group aims to protect the franchise from material damage to its reputation by ensuring that any

Sustainability Risk

business activity is satisfactorily assessed and managed with the appropriate level of management and

governance oversight. This includes a potential failure to uphold responsible business conduct in striving to

do no significant environmental and social harm. (refer to section Reputational Sustainability risk on pages

332 to 333 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Model Risk

The Group has no appetite for material adverse implications arising from misuse of models or errors in the

development or implementation of models; whilst accepting some model uncertainty. (refer to section

Model risk on pages 334 to 335 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential for loss due to the failure of a counterparty to meet its obligations to pay the Group. Credit exposures arise from both the banking and trading books.

Credit risk is managed through a framework that sets out policies and procedures covering the measurement and management of credit risk. The Credit Risk Function, as a second line control function, performs independent challenge, monitoring and oversight of the credit risk management practices of the Business and Functions engaged in or supporting revenue generating activities which constitute the First Line of defence. Risk appetite is defined by the Group and approved by the Board. It is the maximum amount and type of risk that the Group is willing to assume in pursuit of its strategies. Credit exposure limits are approved within a defined credit approval authority framework.

The Group manages its credit exposures following the principle of diversification across products, geographies, client segments and industry sectors.

The Group uses the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach to calculate credit risk capital requirements with the approval of our relevant regulators. This approach builds on the Group's risk management practices and is the result of a continuing investment in data warehouses and risk models.

For portfolios where the Group does not have IRB approval, or where the exposures are permanently exempt from the IRB approach, the Standardised Approach (SA) is used.

Refer to Credit Risk (pages 320 to 322) in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts where we describe the main components of credit risk management, including our credit risk profile, credit risk measurement and policies set in line with risk appetite. For the scope and main content of reporting to senior management, refer to page 320 in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts.

1.5 Risk management continued

Traded Risk

Traded Risk is the potential for loss resulting from activities undertaken by the bank in financial markets. Under the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, the Traded Risk Framework brings together Market Risk, Counterparty Credit Risk and Algorithmic Trading. Traded Risk Management is the core risk management function supporting market-facing businesses, predominantly Financial Markets and Treasury Markets.

Market Risk is the potential for fair value loss due to adverse moves in financial markets. The Group's exposure to Market Risk arises predominantly from the following sources:

  • Trading book:
    • The Group provides clients access to financial markets, facilitation of which entails the Group taking moderate Market Risk positions. All trading teams support client activity. There are no proprietary trading teams. Hence, income earned from market risk-related activities is primarily driven by the volume of client activity rather than risk-taking
  • Non-tradingbook:
    • The Treasury Markets desk is required to hold a liquid assets buffer, much of which is held in high-quality marketable debt securities
    • The Group has capital invested and related income streams denominated in currencies other than US dollars. To the extent that these are not hedged, the Group is subject to structural foreign exchange risk which is reflected in reserves

The primary categories of market risk for the Group are interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, commodity risk, credit spread risk and equity risk.

We use a value at risk (VaR) model for the measurement of the market risk capital requirements for part of the trading book exposures where permission to use such model has been granted by the PRA. Where our market risk exposures are not approved for inclusion in a VaR model, the capital requirements are determined using the standard rules set by the regulatory framework.

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that a counterparty defaults before satisfying its obligations under a derivative, a securities financing transaction (SFT) or a similar contract.

Refer to Traded risk 323 to 324 in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts where we describe the main components of traded risk management, including our traded risk profile.
