Description

Contingent Convertibles (CoCos) represent debt that is subject to being converted automatically into common equity under pre-specified terms of conversion if the chosen regulatory capital ratio falls to a level triggering conversion.

CoCos are that subspecies of contingent capital that references regulatory (Basel III) concepts in its triggers.

From 2014, trigger points are set by common equity (Common Equity Tier 1 [CET1]) in percent of risk-weighted assets [RWA] or of more complicated measures of total exposure to a variety of risks, particularly credit risk.

This is the first comprehensive book on CoCos, an innovative instrument that has attracted growing attention since it was first issued in 2009.The book is mostly concerned with going-concern 'recovery-' rather than 'resolution-' CoCos, because avoiding failure and costly disruption of financial networks without government financing is the first order of business.

CoCos hold a high promise of providing fully loss-absorbing equity capital when it is most needed and least available to financial institutions.

Yet, having grown out of the 2007-2009 financial crisis, they are still an 'infant' reform instrument in many respects.

Few of the instrument's design features (or even the rating, regulatory, and tax treatments) are entirely settled.

This book seeks to move the discussion toward, and then past, the main decision points so that CoCos can prove their value for contingency planning and self-insurance all over the world.

It is intended to increase the ability of issuers and investors to analyze and understand the different kinds of CoCos.
