American Express Co (FRA:AEC1) Capital Adequacy Tier - Tier 1 Ratio % Explanation

Tier 1 capital, or core capital, consists of a bank's common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and any regulatory adjustments to those accounts. The tier 1 capital ratio is the ratio of a bank’s core capital vs. its total risk-weighted assets (RWAs). The risk-weighted assets are calculated by multiplying the assets that the company holds by their corresponding weights for credit risk (the weight is usually developed by the central bank).

The tier 1 capital ratio is the basis for the Basel III international capital and liquidity standards. The standard is used to force banks to increase capital buffers and ensure they can withstand financial distress before they become insolvent. Basel III rules stipulate that the Tier 1 capital ratio has to be at least 6% and the equity component of Tier 1 capital has to have at least 4.5% of RWAs. A higher Tier 1 ratio suggests that the company has more capital to pay down deposits and is less likely to become insolvent.
