JPMorgan needed a loss-sharing agreement to improve the capital accounting for the deal. I have, above, used simple math — assets minus liabilities, equity divided by assets — to describe bank capital, but actual bank capital requirements are based on risk-weighed assets. Capital is a cushion designed to protect a bank from losses, and a bank needs more capital against risky assets than it does against safe assets. A big pile of mortgages and commercial loans will get an okay risk weighting, but a big pile of mortgages and commercial loans insured by the FDIC will get a better risk weighting. If JPMorgan had just bought these loans outright, its capital ratios would have suffered. But, it says, the “FDIC loss share agreements reduce risk weighting on covered loans,” so its common equity tier 1 capital ratio will still be “consistent with 1Q24 target of 13.5%.”
