Section 1  Introduction

Regulatory framework and scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures

The Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market, operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.

This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for UBS Group AG on a consolidated basis. Because UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG is required to comply with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable to Swiss SRBs on a consolidated basis. Capital information as of 31 March 2017 for UBS Group AG consolidated is provided in the “Capital management” section of our first quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors  

Pillar 3 rules also require us to disclose certain regulatory information for the significant banking subsidiaries UBS AG, UBS Switzerland AG and UBS Limited, as well as the significant sub-groups under UBS AG and UBS Americas Holding LLC. This information is provided in the “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” section of this report.

UBS Pillar 3 disclosures are based on phase-in rules under the Basel III framework, as implemented by the revised Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council and required by FINMA regulation.

BCBS publishes enhanced Pillar 3 disclosure requirements

In March 2017, the BCBS issued the consolidated and enhanced framework of the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements. The enhancements include: i) the consolidation of all existing BCBS disclosure requirements into the Pillar 3 framework, including the composition of capital, the leverage ratio, the liquidity ratios, the indicators for determining globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs), the countercyclical capital buffer, interest rate risk in the banking book and remuneration; ii) the introduction of a “dashboard” of banks’ key prudential metrics; iii) a new requirement for banks to disclose valuation adjustments as well as the underlying calculation methodology; and iv) the incorporation of ongoing reforms into the regulatory framework, such as the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) regime for G-SIBs and the revised market risk framework.

The implementation date for existing disclosure requirements that are consolidated under the standard will generally be at the end of 2017. However, for disclosure requirements that are new and / or depend on the implementation of another policy framework, the implementation date has been aligned with the implementation date of that framework.


FINMA-defined asset classes

For an overview of the FINMA-defined asset classes used within this Pillar 3 report, refer to the Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report under “Pillar 3, SEC filings & other disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

Format, frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures

Certain Pillar 3 disclosures follow a fixed format defined by FINMA, whereas other disclosures are flexible and may be modified to a certain degree to present the most relevant information. Revised Pillar 3 requirements are presented under the relevant FINMA table / template reference (e.g., OV1, CR8). Pillar 3 disclosures may also include column or row labeling as prescribed by FINMA. Naming conventions used in our Pillar 3 disclosures are based on the FINMA guidance and may not reflect UBS naming conventions. The reporting frequency for each disclosure follows the FINMA-specified interval, which is either quarterly, semi-annual or annual. For further information on disclosure frequencies, refer to the Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report under “Pillar 3, SEC filings & other disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors. Comparative period information and commentary provided on movements is provided in line with the FINMA-specified frequency.

Basel III capital requirements for G-SIBs

The BCBS has defined minimum Basel III capital requirements, which are being phased in from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2018 and become fully effective on 1 January 2019. As of 31 March 2017, the minimum ratio requirements for common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital including capital conservation buffer and for total capital including capital conservation buffer were 5.75% and 9.25%, respectively. Moreover, global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) are subject to additional CET1 capital buffer requirements in the range from 1.0% to 3.5%. These additional buffer requirements are being phased in from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 and become fully effective on 1 January 2019. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has determined that UBS is a G-SIB, using an indicator-based methodology adopted by the BCBS. In November 2016, the FSB confirmed that, based on the year-end 2015 indicators, the additional CET1 capital buffer requirement for UBS Group is 1.0%. BCBS requirements are minimum requirements that regulators must put in place in their respective jurisdictions. As our Swiss SRB capital requirements exceed the BCBS requirements, including the G-SIB buffer, UBS is not affected by these additional G-SIB requirements.

Section 2  Risk-weighted assets

Our approach to measuring risk exposure and risk-weighted assets

Measures of risk exposure may differ, depending on whether the exposures are calculated for financial accounting purposes under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for deriving our regulatory capital requirement or for internal risk management and control purposes. Our Pillar 3 disclosures are generally based on measures of risk exposure used to derive the regulatory capital required to underpin those risks. The calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWA) follows the BIS Basel III framework, as implemented by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council.

RWA development in the quarter

The table below provides an overview of RWA and the related minimum capital requirements by risk type. During the first quarter of 2017, phase-in RWA decreased by CHF 2.3 billion to CHF 223.1 billion. The decrease was mainly driven by a CHF 6.2 billion reduction in market risk RWA and a reduction of CHF 1.3 billion in the line Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight), mainly driven by the additional, 2017 related, phase-in effect of capital deductions for deferred tax assets resulting in lower RWA. These decreases were partly offset by a CHF 4.4 billion increase in credit risk RWA, and a CHF 1.6 billion increase in operational risk RWA. The flow tables on the next pages provide further detail on the movements in credit risk, counterparty credit risk and market risk RWA in the first quarter of 2017. Further information on capital management and RWA, including detail on movements in RWA over the first quarter of 2017, is provided on pages 53–59 of our first quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors.

Non-counterparty-related risk (31 March 2017: RWA CHF 9,557 million, 31 December 2016: RWA CHF 10,864 million), which is subject to the threshold treatment, is reported in row 23 “Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight).”    4 Excludes settlement risk, which is separately reported in row 11 “Settlement risk.” Includes credit valuation adjustments and RWA with central counterparties.    5 Calculated in accordance with the current exposure method (CEM), until SA-CCR is implemented at the latest by 1 January 2018. The split between row 5 and 6 refers to the calculation of the exposure measure.    6 Includes advanced credit valuation adjustment (31 March 2017: RWA CHF 2,829 million, 31 December 2016: RWA CHF 4,202 million).    7 Includes investments in funds. Items subject to threshold deduction treatments not exceeding their threshold are risk weighted at 250% (31 March 2017: RWA CHF 2,015 million, 31 December 2016: RWA CHF 2,000 million) and are separately included in row 23 “Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight).”    8 New regulation for the calculation of RWA for investments in funds is implemented at the latest by 1 January 2018.    9 Includes items subject to threshold deduction treatments not exceeding their respective threshold and risk weighted at 250%. Items subject to threshold deduction treatments are significant investments in common shares of non-consolidated financial institutions (banks, insurance and other financial entities) and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, which are both measured against their respective threshold.    10 No floor effect, as 80% of our Basel I RWA including the RWA-equivalent of the Basel I capital deductions does not exceed our Basel III RWA including the RWA-equivalent of the Basel III capital deductions. Refer to “Recent developments” section of our first quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors for the status of the finalization of the BCBS capital framework, where the proposed floor calculation would differ in significant aspects from the current approach.

Credit risk RWA development in the quarter

Credit risk RWA under the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach increased by CHF 4.1 billion RWA during the first quarter of 2017.

The increase was primarily driven by methodology and policy changes of CHF 3.1 billion, which includes the effect of regulatory add-ons of CHF 2.5 billion, mainly due to an increase in the IRB multiplier on Swiss residential mortgages of CHF 1.8 billion, as well as an increase in the IRB multiplier on Investment Bank exposures to corporates of CHF 0.3 billion. Furthermore, certain exposures for highly rated securities held for liquidity purposes previously treated with the standardized approach are now treated under the advanced approach. The increase of CHF 0.6 billion in IRB credit risk RWA was partly offset by a CHF 0.4 billion decrease in RWA under the standardized approach, which is not part of this table.

The RWA increase from model updates of CHF 1.6 billion was driven by the implementation of revised credit conversion factors for unutilized Lombard loan facilities, as well as changes to the probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters for all Lombard exposures. These changes primarily affected Wealth Management and Wealth Management Americas.

Additionally, a decrease of CHF 1.4 billion related to asset size movements was primarily due to client-driven declines in off-balance sheet exposures.

Counterparty credit risk RWA development in the quarter

Counterparty credit risk RWA under IMM and VaR increased by CHF 1.8 billion during the first quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by an asset size movement of CHF 1.9 billion. A CHF 1.1 billion increase in securities financing transactions was primarily due to client-driven increases in the Investment Bank. Derivatives increased by CHF 0.8 billion, primarily as a result of higher notional values in the Investment Bank. The increase reflected under methodology and policy changes of CHF 0.3 billion related to an increase in the regulatory add-on for the IRB multiplier on Investment Bank exposures to corporates.

Market risk RWA development in the quarter

The four main components that contribute to market risk RWA are value-at-risk (VaR), stressed value-at-risk (SVaR), incremental risk charge (IRC) and comprehensive risk measure (CRM). VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for Risks not in VaR. The table “MR2: RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an IMA” on the following page provides a breakdown of the market risk RWA movement in the quarter across these components, according to BCBS-defined movement categories. These categories are described further below.

RWA flow related to VaR and SVaR

Value-at-risk (VaR) and stressed VaR RWA decreased by CHF 6.5 billion, mainly due to lower average SVaR and regulatory VaR compared with the higher levels observed in the fourth quarter of 2016, resulting in a decrease of CHF 4.4 billion and a further reduction of CHF 2.1 billion related to regulatory add-ons resulting from a lower VaR multiplier. The VaR multiplier decreased from 3.65 to 3 as a result of fewer backtesting exceptions. The current and prior period effect of these movements is mainly reflected under Regulatory adjustment for the respective dates.


RWA flow related to Incremental risk charge (IRC)

IRC RWA increased by CHF 0.6 billion from model updates / changes as a result of the annual update of model parameters implemented in the first quarter 2017. The increase was driven by higher correlations in several sectors and regions as the calibration timeframe 2006-2016 now includes two more years of the post-crisis period.

The increase in IRC RWA from movement in risk levels over the quarter was CHF 0.3 billion, largely as a result of increased exposures in the Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit (FRC) business of the Investment Bank.

From their first call date, they may be used to meet the gone concern requirements. Low-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 capital was partly offset by required deductions for goodwill on a phase-in basis.    6 Includes outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, which under the transitional rules of the Swiss SRB framework will remain available to meet the going concern requirements until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019. From 1 January 2020, these instruments may be used to meet the gone concern requirements until one year before maturity, with a haircut of 50% applied in the last year of eligibility.

Explanation of differences between the IFRS and regulatory scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation for the purpose of calculating Group regulatory capital is generally the same as the consolidation scope under IFRS and includes subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by UBS Group AG that are active in the banking and finance sector. However, subsidiaries consolidated under IFRS that are active in sectors other than banking and finance are excluded from the regulatory scope of consolidation.

The main differences between the IFRS and regulatory capital scope of consolidation relate to the following entities as of 31 March 2017

   investments in insurance, real estate and commercial companies as well as investment vehicles that were consolidated under IFRS, but not for regulatory capital purposes, and were subject to risk-weighting

   joint ventures that were fully consolidated for regulatory capital purposes, but which were accounted for under the equity method under IFRS

   UBS Capital Securities (Jersey) Ltd. has issued preferred securities and is consolidated for regulatory capital purposes but not for IFRS purposes. This entity holds bonds issued by UBS AG, which are eliminated in the consolidated regulatory capital accounts. This entity does not have material third-party asset balances and its equity is attributable to non-controlling interests


The table below provides a list of the most significant entities that were included in the IFRS scope of consolidation, but not in the regulatory capital scope of consolidation. These entities make up most of the difference between column “Balance sheet in accordance with IFRS scope of consolidation” and column “Balance sheet in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation” in the table “Reconciliation of accounting balance sheet to balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation.” As of 31 March 2017, entities consolidated under either the IFRS or the regulatory scope of consolidation did not report any significant capital deficiencies.

In the banking book, certain equity investments are not consolidated under IFRS or under the regulatory scope. These investments mainly consisted of infrastructure holdings and joint operations (e.g., settlement and clearing institutions, stock and financial futures exchanges) and included our participation in the SIX Group. These investments were risk-weighted based on applicable threshold rules.

Further information on the legal structure of the UBS Group and on the IFRS scope of consolidation is provided on pages 13–14 and 325–326, respectively, of our Annual Report 2016, available under “Annual reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors

Section 4  Leverage ratio

BIS Basel III leverage ratio

The BIS leverage ratio is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio denominator (LRD). The LRD consists of IFRS on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items. Derivative exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement value and eligible cash variation margin netting, the current exposure method add-on and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives. The LRD also includes an additional charge for counterparty credit risk related to securities financing transactions. In addition, balance sheet assets deducted from our tier 1 capital are excluded from LRD, resulting in a difference between phase-in and fully applied LRD for deferred tax assets (DTAs) and net defined benefit pension plan assets.

The “Reconciliation of IFRS total assets to BIS Basel III total on-balance sheet exposures excluding derivatives and securities financing transactions” table below shows the difference between total IFRS assets per IFRS consolidation scope and the BIS total on-balance sheet exposures, which are the starting point for calculating the BIS LRD as shown in the “BIS Basel III leverage ratio common disclosure” table on the next page. The difference is due to the application of the regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BIS calculation. In addition, carrying values for derivative financial instruments and securities financing transactions are deducted from IFRS total assets. They are measured differently under BIS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the “BIS Basel III leverage ratio common disclosure” table on the next page.

As of 31 March 2017, our BIS Basel III leverage ratio was 4.6% on a fully applied basis and 4.9% on a phase-in basis. The BIS Basel III LRD was CHF 881.2 billion on a fully applied basis and CHF 883.4 billion on a phase-in basis. Information on our Swiss SRB leverage ratio and the movement in our LRD on a fully applied basis compared with the prior quarter is provided on page 60-61 of our first quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors

Differences between the Swiss SRB and BIS leverage ratio

The leverage ratio denominator is the same under Swiss SRB and BIS rules. However, there are differences in the capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BIS rules, only common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital are included in the numerator, whereas under Swiss SRB we are required to meet going as well as gone concern leverage ratio requirements. Therefore, depending on the requirement, the numerator includes Tier 1, Tier 2 capital instruments and/or TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt.

Section 5  Liquidity coverage ratio

Effective 1 January 2017, we calculate and monitor our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) on a daily basis and our reported quarterly average LCR is the average of daily values during the quarter. Our reported quarterly average LCR for periods prior to 1 January 2017 is based on the average of three month-end values.

In the first quarter of 2017, our average total LCR decreased four percentage points to 128%, remaining above the 110% Group LCR minimum communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The decrease in the ratio primarily resulted from an increase in net cash outflows, mainly related to unsecured wholesale deposits, debt issuances and secured financing transactions.

Section 1  Introduction

The following sections below include required information on the regulatory capital components and capital ratios, as well as leverage and liquidity coverage ratios where required, of UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Limited standalone and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated. UBS AG consolidated capital and leverage ratio information is provided in the UBS AG first quarter 2017 report, which will be available from 3 May 2017 under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors  

Local regulators may also require publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Disclosure for legal entities” at www.ubs.com/investors  

Capital information in this section is based on Pillar 1 capital requirements. Entities may be subject to significant additional Pillar 2 requirements, which represent additional amounts of capital considered necessary and agreed with regulators based on the risk profile of the entities.

 

 

Section 2  UBS AG standalone

Swiss SRB capital requirements and capital information

Under Swiss SRB regulations, article 125 “Reliefs for financial groups and individual institutions” of the Capital Adequacy Ordinance (CAO) stipulates that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) may grant, under certain conditions, capital relief to individual institutions to ensure that an individual institution’s compliance with the capital requirements does not lead to a de facto overcapitalization of the group of which it is a part.

FINMA granted relief concerning the regulatory capital requirements of UBS AG on a standalone basis by means of a decree issued on 20 December 2013, which became effective on 1 January 2014 and is still effective. The resulting capital requirements are:

 

1. Total capital requirement of 14%, of which 10% must be satisfied with common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital

This represents a relief at UBS AG standalone level compared with the capital requirements set by FINMA for the UBS Group. However, UBS AG standalone has been required to meet this capital requirement with immediate effect since 1 January 2014.

 

2. Consistent treatment of direct and indirect investments of UBS AG standalone in the equity of its subsidiaries active in banking and finance

The aggregate amount of direct and indirect investments of UBS AG standalone in the equity of its subsidiaries is risk-weighted at 200% up to a threshold determined by FINMA. The total amount exceeding that threshold must be deducted from capital, 50% from CET1 and 50% from other capital. This approach could affect risk-weighted assets (RWA) and / or eligible capital, depending on the threshold defined by FINMA. If all investments are below the threshold, the resulting total capital requirement is 28%. If the threshold is set at zero, all investments would be deducted from capital. While the application of a threshold to directly held investments represents a relief, the inclusion of indirect investments represents a tightening of the requirements.

 

Overall, the decree provides an important contribution to ensuring that the capital requirements of UBS AG standalone do not result in a de facto overcapitalization of the Group.

The tables in this sub-section provide UBS AG standalone capital information under Swiss SRB regulations, as per the aforementioned FINMA decree. In addition to the 14% total capital requirement set by the decree, UBS AG is required to comply with countercyclical buffer requirements on a standalone basis. The effect of the countercyclical buffer capital requirements was immaterial as of 31 March 2017.

1 This table does not include the effect of any gone concern requirement rebate. UBS Switzerland AG is compliant with all regulatory requirements.    2 The total loss-absorbing capacity ratio requirement of 18.68% is the current phase-in requirement according to the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance. In addition, FINMA has defined a total capital ratio requirement, which is the sum of 14.4% and the effect of countercyclical buffer requirements of 0.48%, of which 10% plus the effect of countercyclical buffer requirements must be satisfied with common equity tier 1 capital. These FINMA requirements will be effective until they are exceeded by the Swiss SRB phase-in requirements.    3 Going concern capital ratio requirements as of 31 March 2017 include countercyclical buffer requirements of 0.48% for the phase-in and fully applied requirement.    4 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.5% for LRD.    5 Includes applicable add-ons of 0.36% for RWA and 0.13% for LRD.

1 Under the Swiss SRB rules, going concern capital includes CET1 and high-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 capital. Outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments would qualify as going concern capital until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019. However, as of 31 March 2017 and 31 December 2016, the total low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital of CHF 2,500 million was used to meet the gone concern requirement. Additionally, as of 31 December 2016, CHF 765 million of high-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 capital was used to meet the gone concern requirement.
