Capital tier of an instrument in accordance with CRR2 regulation
(REGULATION (EU) No 575/2013 AS AMENDED BY REGULATION (EU) 2019/876 (CRR2) ).
Capital tier of an instrument under the applicable regulatory framework. For banks,
[Basel Framework CAP10.1–10.3][basel-capital] distinguishes Common Equity Tier 1
(CET1), Additional Tier 1 (AT1) and Tier 2 capital. In the EU, the corresponding
rules are in [Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR), Part Two][crr-own-funds], as amended.

The property also supports insurance own-fund classifications and historical
banking classifications. **Basic** and **ancillary** own funds are distinctions
under [Solvency II, Articles 88–94][solvency-own-funds]; CRR does not subdivide bank
Tier 2 capital into these categories. Banking Tier 3 is a historical category,
as explained below. Classify the instrument under the relevant framework rather
than treating similarly named banking and insurance tiers as interchangeable.
