What is the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio?
The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio measures Tier 1 capital against average total assets — unlike the risk-based capital ratios, it does not weight assets by their risk. It is the simple backstop that prevents banks from gaming the risk-based system.
Most US community banks report leverage ratios between 8% and 12%. Ratios below 5% warrant attention — the bank is heavily levered and thinly capitalized in absolute terms regardless of asset mix. The metric is most useful as a comparison to CET1: a wide gap (e.g., 15% CET1 vs 6% leverage) indicates an asset mix tilted toward low-risk-weighted securities or government-backed loans.
