Question

For the purposes of this field, how does one count underlying exposures? Should all advances/exposures to an individual or entity be consolidated and treated as a single "exposure"? What if there are multiple categories of exposures to the same individual or entity (e.g. both a residential loan and a consumer loan)? In the case of trade receivables, should each invoice be treated as a single exposure, regardless of whether multiple invoices have the same debtor(s)?

Answer

[ESMA 33-128-563 Securitisation Q&A, Q&A 5.13.7] Securitised loan parts should be treated as individual underlying exposures for the purposes of this field. For the specific case of credit card underlying exposures, see Q&A 1404. In the case of trade receivables each invoice should be considered as its own underlying exposure.
