Introduction and basis for preparation

 

Scope and location 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, as well as prudential key figures and regulatory information for our significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups. These Pillar 3 disclosures are supplemented by specific additional requirements of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and voluntary disclosures on our part.

As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (SRB) under Swiss banking law, UBS Group AG and UBS AG are 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 2018 for UBS Group AG consolidated is provided in the “Capital management” section of our first quarter 2018 report under “Quarterly reporting” at  www.ubs.com/investors Capital and other regulatory information as of 31 March 2018 for UBS AG consolidated is provided in the UBS AG first quarter 2018 report, which will be available as of 27 April 2018 under “Quarterly reporting” at  www.ubs.com/investors  

We are also required to disclose certain regulatory information for UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone and UBS Limited standalone, as well as UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated. This information is provided under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” in this report.

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

Significant BCBS and FINMA capital adequacy, liquidity and funding and related disclosure requirements

This report has been prepared in accordance with FINMA Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016 / 01 “Disclosure – banks”), the underlying Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) guidance “Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in January 2015 and related “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in August 2016. The legal entities UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG are subject to standalone capital adequacy, liquidity and funding, and disclosure requirements defined by FINMA. This information is provided under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” in this report.


Changes to significant BCBS and FINMA capital adequacy, liquidity and funding and related disclosure requirements

Changes to Pillar 1 requirements

As of 1 January 2018, we are subject to the revised Basel III securitization framework, which had an immaterial effect on our risk-weighted assets (RWA).

Changes to Pillar 3 disclosure requirements

The “OV1: Overview of RWA” table has been enhanced to early adopt the revised template introduced with the second phase of revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements to reflect changes to the abovementioned revised securitization framework.

Changes to IFRS impacting Pillar 1

Effective 1 January 2018, we adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments for UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated.

In March 2017, the BCBS finalized guidance on an interim approach for the regulatory treatment of accounting provisions and defined standards for transitional arrangements, following the introduction of IFRS 9. The BCBS confirmed that for an interim period the current treatment of accounting provisions, under both the standardized approach and the internal ratings-based approach, should continue to be applied until the longer-term treatment is confirmed. Jurisdictions may implement transitional arrangements to spread the adoption impacts over time, using either a static or a dynamic approach, including limiting the transition period to a maximum of five years. The related FINMA guidance is expected to be finalized during 2018 with an effective date of 1 January 2019. As of 1 January 2018, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital calculation for UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated include a full deduction of these effects.

The aforementioned FINMA consultation paper also included guidance related to classification and measurement changes, which we have applied for the purpose of our capital adequacy-related calculations.

Our calculations might be subject to change in accordance with the finalized FINMA guidance.

®    Refer to “Note 1 Basis of accounting” of our first quarter 2018 report under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information on the adoption of IFRS 9

®    Refer to the “Introduction and basis for preparation” section of our 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information

Format, frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures

FINMA has specified the reporting frequency for each disclosure. We generally provide quantitative comparative information for all disclosures as of 31 December 2017. For more information on disclosure frequency, refer to the 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

Section 1  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 measured 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 under Pillar 1. Our risk-weighted assets (RWA) are calculated according to the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III framework, as implemented by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council.

®    Refer to the 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information

RWA development in the first quarter 2018

The “OV1: Overview of RWA” table on the next page provides an overview of RWA and the related minimum capital requirements by risk type. As of 1 January 2018, we are subject to the revised Basel III securitization framework.

This table has been enhanced to early adopt the new template introduced with the second phase of revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements to reflect changes to the abovementioned securitization framework. The template includes rows that are currently not applicable to UBS and therefore have been left empty.

During the first quarter of 2018, RWA increased by CHF 15.4 billion to CHF 253.8 billion, driven by higher market risk RWA and credit and counterparty credit risk RWA in the amount of CHF 10.1 billion and CHF 5.5 billion, respectively. These were partly offset by a CHF 1.0 billion decrease in the line Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight), mainly driven by the additional, 2018-related, phase-in effect of capital deductions for deferred tax assets resulting in lower RWA. The flow tables on the subsequent pages provide further detail on the movements in credit risk, counterparty credit risk and market risk RWA in the first quarter of 2018. More information on capital management and RWA, including detail on movements in RWA during the first quarter of 2018, is provided on pages 57–59 of our first quarter 2018 report under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors .

The split between the subcomponents of counterparty credit risk refers to the calculation of the exposure measure.    5 Calculated in accordance with the current exposure method (CEM), until SA-CCR is implemented by 1 January 2020.    6 Includes investments in funds. Items subject to threshold deduction treatments that do not exceed their respective threshold are risk weighted at 250% (31 March 2018: RWA CHF 1,879 million; 31 December 2017: RWA CHF 1,908 million) and are separately included in line 25 “Amounts below thresholds for deduction (250% risk weight).”    7 New regulation for the calculation of RWA for investments in funds will be implemented by 1 January 2020.    8 Calculated on the basis of the former securitization rules applicable until 31 December 2017.    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 do not exceed our Basel III RWA including the RWA equivalent of the Basel III capital deductions. For the status of the finalization of the Basel III capital framework, refer to the “Regulatory and legal developments” section of our Annual Report 2017, available under “Annual reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors, which outlines how the proposed floor calculation would differ in significant aspects from the current approach.

The “CR8: RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB” and “CCR7: RWA flow statements of CCR exposures under internal model method (IMM) and value-at-risk (VaR)” tables below provide a breakdown of the credit risk and counterparty credit risk (CCR) RWA movements in the first quarter of 2018 across BCBS-defined movement categories. These categories are described on page 42 of our 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups, which is available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

Credit risk RWA development in the first quarter 2018

Credit risk RWA under the advanced internal ratings-based
(A-IRB) approach increased by CHF 3.5 billion to CHF 77.2 billion as of 31 March 2018.

T he RWA increase of CHF 9.8 billion from model updates was primarily driven by the implementation of revised probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) models as part of our continuous efforts to enhance models to reflect market developments and newly available data for residential mortgages and income-producing real estate, as well as for the new LGD model for unsecured financing and commercial self-used real estate resulting in an increase of CHF 8.1 billion in Personal & Corporate Banking and CHF 1.6 billion in Global Wealth Management.

This increase was partly offset by a net CHF 7.8 billion reduction in regulatory add-ons, which decreased by CHF 6.4 billion in Personal & Corporate Banking and CHF 1.7 billion in Global Wealth Management, following the aforementioned updates to PD and LGD parameters for residential mortgages. The increase from a higher IRB multiplier on Investment Bank exposures to corporates was CHF 0.3 billion.

The RWA increase from asset size movements of CHF 1.1 billion was mainly driven by higher Lombard lending balances in Global Wealth Management.

RWA increased by CHF 1.1 billion due to changes in asset quality, primarily in our Investment Bank’s Corporate Client Solutions business driven by the termination of certain hedges.

A decrease of CHF 0.5 billion was driven by foreign exchange movements.

CCR RWA under internal model method (IMM) and value-at-risk (VaR) increased by CHF 1.6 billion during the first quarter of 2018. This was primarily driven by an asset size movement of CHF 1.4 billion. A CHF 1.1 billion increase in derivative exposures was mainly due to increased client activity, primarily in our Investment Bank’s Equities and Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses.

The increase from a higher IRB multiplier on Investment Bank exposures to corporates was CHF 0.3 billion. A decrease of CHF 0.2 billion was driven by foreign exchange movements.

Market risk RWA development in the first quarter 2018

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 below provides a breakdown of the market risk RWA movement in the first quarter of 2018 across these components, according to BCBS-defined movement categories. These categories are described on page 75 of our 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups, which is available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

Market risk RWA increased by CHF 10.1 billion, mainly due to asset size and other movements. This increase mainly resulted from higher average regulatory and stressed value-at-risk (VaR) levels observed during the quarter in the Investment Bank’s equities, rates and credit businesses, mainly due to option expiries and client activity during a period of increased market volatility. The VaR multiplier remained unchanged at 3.0.

As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements.    7 Includes outstanding high- and low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, which are available under the transitional rules of the Swiss SRB framework to meet the going concern requirements until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019, and to meet gone concern requirements thereafter. Outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments are subject to amortization starting five years prior to their maturity, with the amortized portion qualifying as gone concern loss-absorbing capacity. Instruments available to meet gone concern requirements are eligible 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.

The key difference between the IFRS and regulatory capital scope of consolidation relates to the following entities as of 31 March 2018

   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


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 “Balance sheet in accordance with IFRS scope of consolidation” and the “Balance sheet in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation” columns in the “Reconciliation of accounting balance sheet to balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation” table and such difference is mainly related to financial assets at fair value not held for trading and other financial liabilities designated at fair value. As of 31 March 2018 , 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 consolidated neither under IFRS nor under the regulatory scope. As of 31 March 2018, 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 12–13 and 325–326, respectively, of our Annual Report 2017, available under “Annual reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors

Section 3  Leverage ratio

BCBS Basel III leverage ratio

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) 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 led to a difference between phase-in and fully applied LRD for deferred tax assets and net defined benefit pension plan assets until 31 December 2017.

The “Reconciliation of IFRS total assets to BCBS 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 BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures, which are the starting point for calculating the BCBS LRD as shown in the “BCBS 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 BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying values for derivative financial instruments and securities financing transactions are deducted from IFRS total assets. They are measured differently under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the “BCBS Basel III leverage ratio common disclosure” table on the next page.

As of 31 March 2018, our BCBS Basel III leverage ratio was 5.0% and the BCBS Basel III LRD was CHF 882 billion. Information on our Swiss SRB leverage ratio and the movement in our LRD compared with the prior quarter is provided on pages 60–61 of our first quarter 2018 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors

Difference between the Swiss SRB and BCBS leverage ratio

The LRD is the same under Swiss SRB and BCBS rules. However, there is a difference in the capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BCBS 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 capital instruments, tier 2 capital instruments and / or TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt.

Section 4  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 that 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 first quarter of 2018, our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) decreased by 7 percentage points to 136%, remaining above the 110% Group LCR minimum communicated by FINMA. The decrease in LCR was mainly driven by higher average net cash outflows due to revised regulatory requirements affecting inflows from fully performing exposures and other cash outflows. In addition, unsecured wholesale funding led to higher net cash outflows driven by maturities.

Swiss SRB going concern requirements and information

Under Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) regulations, article 125 “Reliefs for financial groups and individual institutions” of the Capital Adequacy Ordinance stipulates that 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 decrees issued on 20 December 2013 and 20 October 2017, the latter effective as of 1 July 2017 and partly replacing the former.

More information is provided in Section 2 UBS AG standalone ”  of the 31 December 2017 Pillar 3 report – UBS Group and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups under Pillar 3 disclosures ”  at www.ubs.com/investors

1 By FINMA decree, requirements exceed those based on the transitional arrangements of the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance, i.e., a total going concern capital ratio requirement of 12.86% plus the effect of countercyclical buffer (CCB) requirements of 0.04%, of which 9.46% plus the effect of CCB requirements of 0.04% must be satisfied with CET1 capital, and a total going concern leverage ratio requirement of 4%, of which 2.9% must be satisfied with CET1 capital.    2 Going concern capital ratio requirements as of 31 March 2018 include CCB requirements of 0.04%.    3 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.5% for LRD.    4 Includes outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments, which are available under the transitional rules of the Swiss SRB framework to meet the going concern requirements until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019. Outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments are subject to amortization starting five years prior to their maturity.

Prudential filters applied to RWA and LRD are also fully phased in as of 31 March 2018. The remaining difference on RWA relates to the treatment of direct and indirect investments.    2 Outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital instruments qualify as going concern capital until the earlier of (i) their maturity or first call date or (ii) 31 December 2019, and are subject to amortization starting five years prior to their maturity.    3 Carrying value for direct and indirect investments including holding of regulatory capital instruments in Swiss-domiciled subsidiaries (31 March 2018: CHF 14,380 million; 31 December 2017: 14,298 million), and for direct and indirect investments including holding of regulatory capital instruments in foreign-domiciled subsidiaries (31 March 2018: CHF 40,329 million; 31 December 2017: 40,342 million), currently risk weighted at 200%. Risk weights are gradually increased by 5% per year for Swiss-domiciled investments and 20% per year for foreign-domiciled investments starting 1 January 2019 until the fully applied risk weights of 250% and 400%, respectively, are applied.

1 This table includes a rebate equal to 35% of the maximum rebate on the gone concern requirements, which was granted by FINMA and will be phased in until 1 January 2020. Refer to the “Capital management” section of our Annual Report 2017 for more information.    2 The total loss-absorbing capacity ratio requirement of 21.04% is the current requirement based on the transitional rules of the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance including the aforementioned rebate on the gone concern requirements. 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 0.53%, 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 requirements based on the transitional rules.    3 Going concern capital ratio requirements include CCB requirements of 0.53%.    4 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.5% for LRD.    5 Includes applicable add-ons of 0.72% for RWA and 0.25% for LRD and a rebate of 1.25% for RWA and 0.42% for LRD.    6 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.5% for LRD and a rebate of 2% for RWA and 0.7% for LRD.
