Credit Suisse’s op risk up $6.5bn on subprime-era litigation

Increase offsets the removal of Archegos-related capital add-on by Finma

Credit Suisse’s operational risk-weighted assets (RWAs) rose 7.8% in the second quarter, as models reacted to recent developments in court cases stemming from the bank’s subprime mortgage-era activities.

Externally-mandated parameter and model updates added Sfr5.9 billion ($6.5 billion) to op RWAs, which hit Sfr68.4 billion at end-period.
