revised capital framework the u.s .
federal bank regulatory agencies ( agencies ) have approved revised risk-based capital and leverage ratio regulations establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for u.s .
banking organizations ( revised capital framework ) .
these regulations are largely based on the basel committee 2019s december 2010 final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards ( basel iii ) and also implement certain provisions of the dodd-frank act .
under the revised capital framework , group inc .
is an 201cadvanced approach 201d banking organization .
below are the aspects of the rules that are most relevant to the firm , as an advanced approach banking organization .
definition of capital and capital ratios .
the revised capital framework introduced changes to the definition of regulatory capital , which , subject to transitional provisions , became effective across the firm 2019s regulatory capital and leverage ratios on january 1 , 2014 .
these changes include the introduction of a new capital measure called common equity tier 1 ( cet1 ) , and the related regulatory capital ratio of cet1 to rwas ( cet1 ratio ) .
in addition , the definition of tier 1 capital has been narrowed to include only cet1 and instruments such as perpetual non- cumulative preferred stock , which meet certain criteria .
certain aspects of the revised requirements phase in over time .
these include increases in the minimum capital ratio requirements and the introduction of new capital buffers and certain deductions from regulatory capital ( such as investments in nonconsolidated financial institutions ) .
in addition , junior subordinated debt issued to trusts is being phased out of regulatory capital .
the minimum cet1 ratio is 4.0% ( 4.0 % ) as of january 1 , 2014 and will increase to 4.5% ( 4.5 % ) on january 1 , 2015 .
the minimum tier 1 capital ratio increased from 4.0% ( 4.0 % ) to 5.5% ( 5.5 % ) on january 1 , 2014 and will increase to 6.0% ( 6.0 % ) beginning january 1 , 2015 .
the minimum total capital ratio remains unchanged at 8.0% ( 8.0 % ) .
these minimum ratios will be supplemented by a new capital conservation buffer that phases in , beginning january 1 , 2016 , in increments of 0.625% ( 0.625 % ) per year until it reaches 2.5% ( 2.5 % ) on january 1 , 2019 .
the revised capital framework also introduces a new counter-cyclical capital buffer , to be imposed in the event that national supervisors deem it necessary in order to counteract excessive credit growth .
risk-weighted assets .
in february 2014 , the federal reserve board informed us that we have completed a satisfactory 201cparallel run , 201d as required of advanced approach banking organizations under the revised capital framework , and therefore changes to rwas will take effect beginning with the second quarter of 2014 .
accordingly , the calculation of rwas in future quarters will be based on the following methodologies : 2030 during the first quarter of 2014 2014 the basel i risk-based capital framework adjusted for certain items related to existing capital deductions and the phase-in of new capital deductions ( basel i adjusted ) ; 2030 during the remaining quarters of 2014 2014 the higher of rwas computed under the basel iii advanced approach or the basel i adjusted calculation ; and 2030 beginning in the first quarter of 2015 2014 the higher of rwas computed under the basel iii advanced or standardized approach .
