Note: The dip in the aggregate tier 1 common ratio in the first quarter of 2013 was due to an increase in risk-weighted assets, not a decrease in capital. At the start of 2013, new market risk rules (sometimes known as Basel II.5) took effect, changing the process for calculating market risk-weighted assets. See 12 CFR part 217, subpart F. Between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, aggregate market risk-weighted assets increased by $518 billion, representing more than 97 percent of the total increase in aggregate risk-weighted assets. Without the increase in market risk-weighted assets, the aggregate tier 1 common ratio would have been about 70 basis points higher in the first quarter in 2013.
