Off-balance sheet items

UBS Switzerland AG is jointly and severally liable for the combined value added tax (VAT) liability of UBS entities that belong to the VAT group of UBS in Switzerland. This contingent liability is not included in the table above.

Swiss deposit insurance

Swiss banking law and the deposit insurance system require Swiss banks and securities dealers to jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF 6 billion for privileged client deposits in the event that a Swiss bank or securities dealer becomes insolvent. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) estimates the share of UBS Switzerland AG from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 to be CHF 872 million, which is reflected in the table above.

Joint and several liability

In June 2015, the Personal & Corporate Banking and Wealth Management businesses booked in Switzerland were transferred from UBS AG to UBS Switzerland AG through an asset transfer in accordance with the Swiss Merger Act. Under the Swiss Merger Act, UBS AG assumed joint liability for obligations existing on the asset transfer date, 14 June 2015, which were transferred to UBS Switzerland AG.

Similarly, under the terms of the asset transfer agreement UBS Switzerland AG assumed joint liability for approximately CHF 325 billion of contractual obligations of UBS AG existing on the asset transfer date, excluding the collateralized portion of secured contractual obligations and covered bonds. UBS Switzerland AG has no liability for new obligations incurred by UBS AG after the asset transfer date. Under certain circumstances, the Swiss Banking Act and the Bank Insolvency Ordinance of FINMA authorize FINMA to modify, extinguish or convert to common equity liabilities of a bank in connection with a resolution or insolvency of such bank. The joint liability amount declines as obligations mature, terminate or are novated following the asset transfer date. As of 31 December 2016, the joint liability of UBS Switzerland AG for contractual obligations of UBS AG amounted to CHF 91 billion compared with CHF 136 billion as of December 2015.

As of 31 December 2016, the probability of an outflow under this joint and several liability was assessed to be remote, and as a result, the table above does not include any exposures arising under this joint and several liability.

UBS Switzerland AG standalone financial statements (audited)

Note 1  Name, legal form and registered office

UBS Switzerland AG is incorporated and domiciled in Switzerland. Its registered office is at Bahnhofstrasse 45, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Switzerland AG operates under the Swiss Code of Obligations and Swiss federal banking law as a corporation limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft), a corporation that has issued shares of common stock to investors. UBS Switzerland AG is 100% owned by UBS AG.

  

 

Note 2  Accounting policies

UBS Switzerland AG standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP (FINMA Circular 2015 / 1 and Banking Ordinance) and represent "reliable assessment statutory single-entity financial statements". The accounting policies are principally the same as for the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG outlined in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG included in the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016. Major differences between the Swiss GAAP requirements and International Financial Reporting Standards are described in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG. The significant accounting policies applied for the standalone financial statements of UBS Switzerland AG are discussed below.

®    Refer to the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016 for more information

Risk management

UBS Switzerland AG is fully integrated into the Group-wide risk management process described in the audited part of the “Risk management and control” section of the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016.

Further information on the use of derivative instruments and hedge accounting is provided in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG.

®    Refer to the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016 for more information

Compensation policy

The compensation structure and processes of UBS Switzerland AG conform to the compensation principles and framework of UBS Group AG. For detailed information refer to the Compensation Report of UBS Group AG.

®    Refer to the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016 for more information


Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into Swiss francs at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, all monetary assets and liabilities, as well as equity instruments recorded in Trading portfolio assets and Financial investments denominated in foreign currency, are translated into Swiss francs using the closing exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historic cost are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. All currency translation effects are recognized in the income statement.

The main currency translation rates used by UBS Switzerland AG are provided in Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG.

®    Refer to the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2016 for more information

This goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years and assessed for impairment annually.

Note 2  Accounting policies (continued) 

Services provided to and received from subsidiaries, affiliated entities, UBS AG and UBS Group AG

Services provided to and received from UBS Group AG or any of its subsidiaries are settled in cash as hard cost transfers or hard revenue transfers paid or received.

When the nature of the underlying transaction between UBS Switzerland AG and UBS Group AG or any of its subsidiaries contains a single, clearly identifiable service element, related income and expenses are presented in the respective income statement line item, e.g., Fee and commission income from securities and investment business, Other fee and commission income, Fee and commission expense, Net trading income or  General and administrative expenses. To the extent the nature of the underlying transaction contains various service elements and is not clearly attributable to a particular income statement line item, related income and expenses are presented in Sundry ordinary income and Sundry ordinary expenses.

®    Refer to Note 5 for more information

Pension and other post-employment benefit plans

Swiss GAAP permits the use of IFRS or Swiss accounting standards for pension and other post-employment benefit plans, with the election made on a plan-by-plan basis.

UBS Switzerland AG has elected to apply Swiss GAAP (FER 16) for its pension plan. The requirements of Swiss GAAP are better aligned with the specific nature of Swiss pension plans, which are hybrid in that they combine elements of defined contribution and defined benefit plans but are treated as defined benefit plans under IFRS. Swiss GAAP requires that the employer contributions to the pension fund are recognized as Personnel expenses in the income statement. The employer contributions to the Swiss pension fund are determined as a percentage of contributory compensation. Furthermore, Swiss GAAP requires an assessment as to whether, based on the financial statements of the pension fund prepared in accordance with Swiss accounting standards (FER 26), an economic benefit to, or obligation of, UBS Switzerland AG arises from the pension fund and is recognized in the balance sheet when conditions are met. Conditions for recording a pension asset or liability would be met if, for example, an employer contribution reserve is available or UBS Switzerland AG is required to contribute to the reduction of a pension deficit (on a FER 26 basis).

®    Refer to Note 17 for more information

Subordinated assets and liabilities

Subordinated assets are comprised of claims that, based on an irrevocable written declaration, in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or restructuring of the debtor, rank after the claims of all other creditors and may not be offset against amounts payable to the debtor nor secured by its assets. Subordinated liabilities are comprised of corresponding obligations.

Subordinated assets and liabilities that contain a point-of-non-viability clause in accordance with Swiss capital requirements per articles 29 and 30 of the Capital Adequacy Ordinance are disclosed as being subject to mandatory conversion and / or debt waiver and provide for the claim or the obligation to be written off or converted into equity in the event that the issuing bank reaches a point of non-viability.

Dispensations in the standalone financial statements

As UBS Switzerland AG has no listed shares outstanding and is within the scope of the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, UBS Switzerland AG is exempt from various disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The dispensations include the management report and the statement of cash flows, as well as various note disclosures.

Note 15  Country risk of total assets

The table below provides a breakdown of total non-Swiss assets by credit rating. These credit ratings reflect the sovereign credit rating of the country to which the ultimate risk of the underlying asset is related. The ultimate country of risk for unsecured loan positions is the domicile of the immediate borrower or, in the case of a legal entity, the domicile of the ultimate parent entity. For collateralized or guaranteed positions, the ultimate country of risk is the domicile of the provider of the collateral or guarantor or, if applicable, the domicile of the ultimate parent entity of the provider of the collateral or guarantor. For mortgage loans, the ultimate country of risk is the country where the real estate is located. Similarly, the ultimate country of risk for property and equipment is the country where the property and equipment is located. Assets for which Switzerland is the ultimate country of risk are provided separately in order to reconcile them to total balance sheets assets.

Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information

UBS Switzerland AG is considered a systemically relevant bank (SRB) under Swiss banking law and is subject to capital regulations on a standalone basis . In May 2016, the Swiss Federal Council adopted amendments to the too big to fail (TBTF) provisions, based on the cornerstones announced by the Swiss Federal Council in October 2015. The revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance forms the basis of a revised Swiss SRB framework, which became effective on 1 July 2016.

As of 31 December 2016, the phase-in going concern capital and leverage ratio requirements for UBS Switzerland AG standalone were 11.19% and 3.0%, respectively. The gone concern requirements on a phase-in basis were 3.5% for the RWA-based requirement and 1.0% for the LRD-based requirement.
