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 quarterly report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for UBS Group AG on a consolidated basis. As 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 30 June 2017 for UBS Group AG consolidated is provided in the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2017 report under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors  

Additional semiannual Pillar 3 disclosures for UBS Group AG consolidated are provided in our separate UBS Group AG 2017 semiannual Pillar 3 report, which will be available from 3 August 2017 under “Pillar 3 disclosures” 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.

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

BCBS publishes enhanced Pillar 3 disclosure requirements

In March 2017, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued the consolidated and enhanced framework of the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements. This draft includes the following enhancements: i) all existing BCBS disclosure requirements have been consolidated into the Pillar 3 framework, including the composition of capital, the leverage ratio, the liquidity ratios, the indicators for determining global systemically important banks (G-SIBs), the countercyclical capital buffer, interest rate risk in the banking book and remuneration; ii) a “dashboard” of banks’ key prudential metrics has been introduced; iii) a new requirement has been included for banks to break down prudential valuation adjustments as well as the underlying calculation methodology; and iv) ongoing reforms have been incorporated into the regulatory framework, such as the total loss-absorbing capacity regime for G-SIBs and the revised market risk framework.

The implementation dates for these consolidated and enhanced BCBS requirements are staggered from year-end 2017 to 2019. The related FINMA regulation is expected to be completed during 2017, with implementation dates in 2018 and 2019.

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. 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's own naming conventions. The reporting frequency for each disclosure follows the respective FINMA-specified interval, which is either quarterly, semiannual or annual. For more information on disclosure frequencies, refer to the Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors. Comparative-period information and commentary on movements is provided in line with the FINMA-specified frequency.

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 Bank for International Settlements (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 second quarter of 2017, phase-in RWA increased by CHF 14.7 billion to CHF 237.8 billion. The increase was mainly driven by a CHF 5.3 billion increase in counterparty credit risk and a CHF 5.3 billion increase in credit risk. Furthermore, market risk RWA increased by CHF 4.3 billion. 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 second quarter of 2017. More information on capital management and RWA, including detail on movements in RWA during the second quarter of 2017, is provided on pages 60–61 of our second quarter 2017 report under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors.

Non-counterparty-related risk (30 June 2017: RWA CHF 9,449 million; 31 March 2017: RWA CHF 9,557 million), which is subject to the threshold treatment, is reported in line 23 “Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight).”    4 Excludes settlement risk, which is separately reported in line 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 by 1 January 2018. The split between line 5 and 6 refers to the calculation of the exposure measure.    6 Includes advanced credit valuation adjustment (30 June 2017: RWA CHF 2,707 million; 31 March 2017: RWA CHF 2,829 million).    7 Includes investments in funds. Items subject to threshold deduction treatments that do not exceed their respective threshold are risk weighted at 250% (30 June 2017: RWA CHF 1,804 million; 31 March 2017: RWA CHF 2,015 million) and are separately included in line 23 “Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight).”    8 New regulation for the calculation of RWA for investments in funds will be implemented by 1 January 2018.    9 Includes items subject to threshold deduction treatments that do not exceed 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, both of which are 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 increased by CHF 4.9 billion to CHF 71.8 billion as of 30 June 2017.

The RWA increase from model updates of CHF 6.8 billion was primarily driven by CHF 6.0 billion from the implementation of changes to the probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters for income-producing real estate exposures (IPRE), as well as changes to the LGD parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions. An additional increase of CHF 0.8 billion was driven by the implementation of changes to PD and LGD parameters for Lombard exposures and of revised credit conversion factors (CCFs) for construction loans.

The RWA decrease from methodology and policy changes of CHF 1.4 billion includes the effect from the reduction in FINMA regulatory add-ons of CHF 1.9 billion and was primarily due to the aforementioned updates to PD and LGD parameters, partly offset by an increase in the IRB multiplier on Investment Bank exposures to corporates. Furthermore, certain exposures for highly rated securities held for liquidity purposes, which were previously treated with the standardized approach, are now treated with the advanced approach. The increase of CHF 0.5 billion in IRB credit risk RWA was partly offset by a CHF 0.3 billion decrease in RWA under the standardized approach, which is not part of this table.

Counterparty credit risk RWA development in the quarter

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA under internal model method (IMM) and value-at-risk (VaR) increased by CHF 3.7 billion during the second quarter of 2017. The RWA increase of CHF 5.1 billion from model updates was partly offset by a reduction of CHF 0.9 billion from asset size movements.

An increase of CHF 2.8 billion from model updates was the result of the implementation of changes to the LGD parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions. An additional increase of CHF 2.3 billion was due to higher RWA for derivative exposures, driven by an update of the stress period used for the Basel III exposure-at-default calculation.

Market risk RWA development in the quarter

The four main components that contribute to market risk RWA are 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 “MR2: RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an internal models approach” table on the following page provides a breakdown of the market risk RWA movement in the second quarter of 2017 across these components, according to BCBS-defined movement categories. These categories are described below.

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. As of 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 the difference 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and includes subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly controlled by UBS Group AG and active in banking and finance. However, subsidiaries consolidated under IFRS whose business is outside the banking and finance sector are excluded from the regulatory scope of consolidation.

Following the sale of a life insurance subsidiary in the second quarter of 2017, the consolidation scope difference decreased, compared with 31 March 2017. More information on this sale is provided in “Note 16 Changes in organization and disposals” on page 108 of our second quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors.    

The key difference between the IFRS and regulatory capital scope of consolidation relates to the following entities as of 30 June 2017

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

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

   UBS Capital Securities (Jersey) Ltd., which has issued preferred securities and is consolidated for regulatory capital purposes but not for IFRS purposes. This entity holds notes 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 account for most of the difference between the column “Balance sheet in accordance with IFRS scope of consolidation” and the “Balance sheet in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation” column in the “Reconciliation of accounting balance sheet to balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation” table. As of 30 June 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 nor 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.

More 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, which leads to 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 30 June 2017, our BIS Basel III leverage ratio was 4.7% on a fully applied basis and 5.0% on a phase-in basis. The BIS Basel III LRD was CHF 860.9 billion on a fully applied basis and CHF 863.0 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 pages 62-63 of our second quarter 2017 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors

Difference between the Swiss SRB and BIS leverage ratio

The leverage ratio denominator is the same under Swiss SRB and BIS rules. However, there is a difference 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. 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

High-quality liquid assets

High-quality liquid assets (HQLA) must be easily and immediately convertible into cash at little or no loss of value, especially during a period of stress. HQLA are assets which are of low risk and are unencumbered. Other characteristics of HQLA are ease and certainty of valuation, low correlation with risky assets, listing on a developed and recognized exchange, an active and sizeable market and low volatility. Based on these characteristics, HQLA are categorized as Level 1 (primarily central bank reserves and government bonds) or Level 2 (primarily US and European agency bonds as well as non-financial corporate covered bonds). Level 2 assets are subject to regulatory haircuts and caps.

Liquidity coverage ratio  

In the second quarter of 2017, our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) increased 3 percentage points to 131%, remaining above the 110% Group LCR minimum communicated by FINMA. The increase in LCR primarily resulted from a decrease in net cash outflows, mainly related to secured lending, financial liabilities designated at fair value and customer deposits. This decrease was partly offset by a reduction in eligible HQLA, resulting from increased liquidity requirements applicable to our US operations.

Section 1  Introduction

The 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 second quarter 2017 report, which will be available from 3 August 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 “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” 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 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. More information is provided in “Section 2 UBS AG standalone” of the UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups first quarter 2017 Pillar 3 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

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 (CCB) requirements on a standalone basis. The effect of the CCB requirements was immaterial as of 30 June 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 18.71% 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 (CCB) requirements of 0.51%, of which 10% plus the effect of CCB requirements must be satisfied with CET1 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 30 June 2017 include CCB requirements of 0.51% 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 30 June 2017, 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 requirements. 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 requirements.
