What is Leverage?
lev·er·age
Leverage is a general term for any technique to multiply gains and losses.
EXAMPLE
Facts
► NAV = £100m
► Notional Market Exposure = £150m
Calculation
► Under AIFMD: Leverage = 150/100 = 150%
► Under UCITS: Leverage = (150-100)/100 = 50%

Real Estate
► Mortgages must be included in the leverage calculation.
► The leverage of a bankruptcy remote SPV which is controlled by the fund, does not need to be reported.

Final Remarks
► Don’t think in terms of ‘one size fits all’ solutions.
► Risk reporting can add value and should not be looked at purely as a regulatory tick box.
