the information for IBP. The information for Investec Limited includes the information for IBL.
^ The capital adequacy disclosures follow Investec's normal basis of presentation so as to show a consistent basis of calculation across
the jurisdictions in which the group operates. For Investec plc and IBP this does not include the deduction of forseeable dividends when
calculating CET1 capital as now required under the Capital Requirements Regulation and EBA technical standards. Investec plc’s
capital information includes unaudited profits for the last quarter. If unaudited profits are excluded from the capital information, Investec
plc’s CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios would be 50bps lower and its total capital ratio would be 40bps lower.
Liquidity coverage ratio disclosure
The objective of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk
profile of banks by ensuring that they have sufficient high quality liquid assets to survive a significant stress
scenario lasting 30 calendar days.
Investec Bank Limited (solo basis) and Investec Bank Limited Consolidated Group
The minimum LCR requirement in South Africa was 70% throughout 2016, and will increase by 10% each
year to 100% on 1 January 2019.
In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the South African Banks Act 1990 (Act No. 94 of 1990),
banks are directed to comply with the relevant LCR disclosure requirements, as set out in Directive 6/2014
and Directive 11/2014. This disclosure is in accordance with Pillar 3 of the Basel III liquidity accord.
The following table sets out the LCR for Investec Bank Limited (solo basis) and Investec Bank Consolidated
Group as at 31 December 2016:
Investec Bank Limited Solo – Investec Bank Limited
Total weighted value Consolidated Group – Total
R’mn weighted value
High quality liquid assets (HQLA) 73,248 73,333
Net cash outflows 49,029 44,031
Actual LCR (%) 150.4% 167.9%
Required LCR (%) 70% 70%
The values in the table are calculated as the simple average of daily observations over the period 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016
for Investec Bank Limited (IBL) bank solo. 61 business day observations were used. Investec Bank Limited consolidated group values
use daily values for IBL bank solo, while those for other group entities use the average of October, November, December 2016 month-
end values.
Investec plc, Investec Bank plc (solo basis)
On 1 October 2015 under European Commission Delegated Regulation 2015/61, the LCR became the
PRA’s primary regulatory reporting standard for liquidity. The LCR is a Pillar 1 metric to which the PRA apply
Pillar 2 add-ons. The LCR is being introduced on a phased basis, and the PRA has opted to impose higher
liquidity coverage requirements during the phased-in period than the minimum required by CRD IV. From 1
January 2017, UK banks are required to maintain a minimum of 90%, rising to 100% on 1 January 2018. The
published LCR excludes Pillar 2 add-ons.
For Investec plc and Investec Bank plc (solo basis), the LCR is calculated using our own interpretations of
the EU Delegated Act. The reported LCR may change over time with regulatory developments.
The LCR reported to the PRA at 31 December 2016 was 844% for Investec plc and 829% for Investec Bank
plc (solo basis).
