On March 24, 2015, a Commission Delegated Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Journal, which amends the Delegated Regulation on own funds requirements for investment firms based on fixed overheads. Under the Capital Requirements Regulation certain investment firms are able to use an alternative method based on a quarter of their fixed costs to calculate their total capital requirement. The amending Regulations insert into the Delegated Regulation the methodology for investment firms to calculate fixed overheads. The amending Regulations come into force on April 14, 2015.
The amending Regulations are available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:JOL_2015_078_R_0001&from=EN.
