I.A.1: Unencumbered Assets
Refers to assets that are owned outright that are (i) free of legal, regulatory, contractual, or other restrictions on the ability of the reporting entity to monetize the assets; and (ii) not pledged, explicitly or implicitly, to secure or to provide credit enhancement to any transaction. Exclude all unencumbered assets that are pledged to a central bank or a U.S. government sponsored enterprise that meet the specifications of, and should be reported under, product I.A.2: Capacity. Exclude transactions involving the purchase of securities that have been executed, but not yet settled as those transactions should be reported in lines I.A.5: Unsettled Asset Purchases or I.A.6: Forward Asset Purchases, depending on the timing of settlement. Any amounts due to the reporting institution with respect to any associated hedges should not be added or subtracted from the fair value of the asset. Include unencumbered loans and leases even though these loans and leases must also be reported under the appropriate Inflows Unsecured and Inflows-Secured products. Do not exclude assets that are owned outright at a subsidiary of the reporting entity, but have been pledged to secure a transaction with another subsidiary of the reporting entity; to the extent these assets remain unencumbered.
