How the bank equity capital ranking is built
Bank equity capital is total equity attributable to the bank's owners, excluding noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries (FDIC field EQ). It is the cushion that absorbs losses before depositors are at risk. Caveats: ranking by the dollar amount mostly reflects size, so the capital ratio rankings are the better guide to strength; equity includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, which can move it sharply when rates change; and goodwill from acquisitions is part of equity but not of regulatory capital.
