Section 1  Regulatory exposures and risk-weighted assets

 

Introduction

This report provides additional Pillar 3 disclosures for UBS Group AG on a consolidated basis as of 30 June 2017 that are required on a semiannual basis. It should be read in conjunction with our UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups second quarter 2017 Pillar 3 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors, which includes disclosures required on a quarterly basis .  

More information on risk-weighted assets (RWA) is provided in our first and second quarter 2017 reports, both available under “Quarterly reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors  and in our UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups first and second quarter 2017 Pillar 3 reports, which include information required on a quarterly basis, both available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors. 

UBS’s 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 required by FINMA regulation.


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 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

The tables on the following pages present the net exposure at default and RWA by risk type and FINMA-defined asset class with references to the sections of this report that contain more information on the respective topics.

RWA development during the first half of 2017

During the first half of 2017, phase-in RWA increased by CHF 12.4 billion to CHF 237.8 billion.

The increase was mainly driven by a CHF 9.7 billion increase in credit risk and a CHF 4.7 billion increase in counterparty credit risk. This was partly offset by a reduction in market risk RWA of CHF 1.8 billion and a reduction of CHF 1.4 billion in RWA, mainly resulting from the additional phase-in effect in the first half of 2017 due to capital deductions for deferred tax assets.

1 The presentation of this table has been aligned with the principles applied in “OV1: Overview of RWA,” which is available in the UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups second quarter 2017 Pillar 3 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors.    2 The split between A-IRB / model-based approaches and Standardized approaches for counterparty credit risk refers to the exposure measure, whereas the split in CCR3 and CCR4 refers to the risk weighting approach. As of 30 June 2017, CHF 101,665 million of EAD (31 December 2016: CHF 98,194 million) was subject to the advanced risk weighting approach, and CHF 1,490 million of EAD (31 December 2016: CHF 1,934 million) was subject to the standardized risk weighting approach.    3 Consists primarily of Lombard lending, which represents loans made against the pledge of eligible marketable securities or cash, as well as exposures to small businesses, private clients and other retail customers without mortgage financing.    4 Excludes EAD for deferred tax assets on net operating losses (30 June 2017: CHF 1,708 million; 31 December 2016: CHF 3,877 million), which is not subject to credit risk RWA calculation.

Section 2  Credit risk

Introduction

The tables in this section provide information on the exposures used to determine the firm’s credit risk-related regulatory capital requirement on the basis of the credit risk framework illustrated in the “Regulatory exposures and risk-weighted assets” table in section 1 of this report. Information on counterparty credit risk that arises from over-the-counter derivatives, exchange-traded derivatives, securities financing transactions and long settlement transactions, is discussed in section 3 of this report. Securitization positions subject to the securitization regulatory framework are reported in section 4 of this report.

The exposure information presented in this section may differ from our internal management view disclosed in the “Risk management and control” section of our annual and quarterly reports. This is due to the fact that certain treatments are specified by regulatory requirements, although the parameters applied under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach are generally based on the same methodologies, data and systems we use for internal credit risk quantification. Such regulatory requirements include the application of regulatory floors and multipliers, and differences with respect to eligibility criteria and exposure definitions. Similarly, the regulatory capital measure of credit risk exposure also differs from that defined under IFRS.

 

This section is structured into four sub-sections:

   Credit quality of assets

   Credit risk mitigation

   Credit risk under the standardized approach

   Credit risk under internal ratings-based approaches

 

Refer to page 14 of our Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information on credit risk management, credit risk exposure categories and our use of the term “loans.”

Credit quality of assets

The table below provides a breakdown of defaulted and non-defaulted loans, debt securities and off-balance sheet exposures.

Refer to page 17 of our Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information on policies for past due, non-performing and impaired claims as well as our definition of default.

Credit risk mitigation

The table below provides a breakdown of unsecured and partially or fully secured exposures, including security type, for the categories Loans  and Debt securities .  

The total carrying amount of loans decreased by CHF 2.7 billion, mainly driven by a reduction in cash and balances with central banks, primarily reflecting higher funding utilization by the business divisions, partly offset by various debt issuances and rebalancing within our high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) portfolio. This was partly offset by an increase in Lombard lending in Wealth Management.

The reduction of CHF 15.8 billion in debt securities was primarily driven by a decrease in financial assets designated at fair value, available for sale and held to maturity, mainly reflecting rebalancing within our HQLA portfolio.

1 Exposures in this table represent carrying values in accordance with the regulatory scope of consolidation. This table was prepared on the basis of the disclosure requirements published by FINMA in October 2015. Once we adopt the interpretation included in “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (BCBS 376)" issued by BCBS in August 2016, exposures secured by collateral and by credit derivatives will be subject to haircuts.    2 Loan exposure is reported in line with the Pillar 3 definition.

Standardized approach – credit risk mitigation

The table below shows the effect of credit risk mitigation on the calculation of capital requirements under the standardized approach.

Credit risk exposure post-credit conversion factors (CCF) and post-CRM measured under the standardized approach decreased by CHF 40.2 billion to CHF 49.4 billion as of 30 June 2017. This decrease was primarily due to the migration of portfolios held for local liquidity requirements from a measurement under the standardized approach to a measurement under the A-IRB approach, including a decrease of CHF 37.8 billion in exposure to central governments and central banks, exposures of CHF 2.3 billion to public sector entities and multilateral development banks and exposures to corporates of CHF 1.4 billion. This migration increased credit risk exposures under the A-IRB approach by CHF 33.1 billion. The portion of the migration related to the aforementioned rebalancing within our HQLA portfolio represents counterparty credit risk, which did not result in a significant EAD impact due to higher collateralization levels as of 30 June 2017.

The increase in RWA density was primarily driven by the aforementioned migration of portfolios held for local liquidity requirements from measurement under the standardized approach to measurement under the A-IRB approach, which resulted in a change in the composition of the portfolio under the standardized approach. However, the net impact on RWA from this change was not material.

IRB approach – credit derivatives used as credit risk mitigation

We actively manage the credit risk in our corporate loan portfolios by utilizing credit derivatives. Single-name credit derivatives that fulfill the operational requirements prescribed by FINMA are recognized in the RWA calculation using the probability of default (PD) or rating (and asset class) assigned to the hedge provider. The PD (or rating) substitution is only applied in the RWA calculation when the PD (or rating) of the hedge provider is lower than the PD (or rating) of the obligor. In addition, default correlation between the obligor and hedge provider is taken into account through the double default approach. Credit derivatives with tranched cover or first-loss protection are recognized through the securitization framework. Refer to the “CCR6: Credit derivatives exposures” table for notional and fair value information on credit derivatives used as credit risk mitigation.

Credit risk under internal ratings-based approaches

The tables in this sub-section provide information on credit risk exposures under the A-IRB approach, including the main parameters used in A-IRB models for the calculation of capital requirements, presented by portfolio and probability of default (PD) range.

Under the A-IRB approach, the required capital for credit risk is quantified through empirical models, which we have developed to estimate the PD, loss given default (LGD), exposure at default (EAD) and other parameters, subject to FINMA approval. The proportion of EAD covered by either the standardized or the A-IRB approach is provided in the “Regulatory exposures and risk-weighted assets” table in section 1 of this report.

The “CR6: IRB – Credit risk exposures by portfolio and PD range” table on the following pages provides a breakdown of the key parameters used for calculation of capital requirements under the A-IRB approach, shown by PD range across FINMA-defined asset classes.

Exposures before the application of CCFs increased by CHF 65.9 billion to CHF 608.6 billion as of 30 June 2017 and exposures post-CCF and post-credit risk mitigation (CRM) increased by CHF 29.7 billion to CHF 499.7 billion as of 30 June 2017. This increase was primarily driven by a model update required by FINMA to apply CCFs for unutilized Lombard loan facilities that were previously excluded from the RWA calculation. It resulted in an increase of CHF 62.9 billion in the asset class “Retail: other retail” and, with a contribution of CHF 14.9 billion, was also the main driver for the increase in EADs post CCF and post CRM in this portfolio. The migration of portfolios held for local liquidity requirements from a measurement under the standardized approach to a measurement under the A-IRB approach, as explained in the “CR4: Standardized approach – credit risk exposure and credit risk mitigation (CRM) effects” table, resulted in an increase of CHF 30.7 billion in exposures to central governments and central banks, an increase of CHF 1.8 billion in exposure to corporates and an increase of CHF 0.6 billion in exposures to public sector entities and multilateral development banks. The effect of CHF 30.7 billion on exposures to central governments and central banks was partly offset by higher funding utilization by the business divisions, which reduced cash and balances at central banks, resulting in a net EAD post CCF and post CRM increase of CHF 14.1 billion in central governments and central banks.

Average CCFs decreased 4 percentage points, as the aforementioned changes introduced for unutilized Lombard loan facilities were below the average CCF of the portfolio. The effects from higher CCFs for construction loans did not materially affect the average CCFs.

In the first half of 2017, we implemented changes to the PD and LGD parameters for income-producing real estate exposures (IPRE) and Lombard exposures, as well as LGD parameter updates for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions. These changes primarily impacted average LGDs, which increased 3.3 percentage points due to i) IPRE exposures, mainly reflected in “Corporates: specialized lending,” ii) exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions, mainly reflected in “Banks and securities dealers” and in “Public sector entities, multilateral development banks,” and iii) Lombard exposures, mainly reflected in “Retail: other retail.” Average PDs remained broadly stable compared with 31 December 2016.

Information on RWA, including details on movements in RWA, is provided on pages 3-4 in our UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups reports for the first and second quarters of 2017, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

Expected loss increased by CHF 103 million, primarily due to the aforementioned changes to LGD and PD parameters.

1 CRM through financial collateral is considered in the EAD post CCF and post CRM, but not in the calculation of average CCF.    2 In line with the Pillar 3 guidance, provisions are only provided for the subtotals by asset class.    3 For the calculation of column d) "EAD post CCF and post CRM" a balance factor approach is used instead of a CCF approach. The EAD is calculated by multiplying the on-balance sheet exposure with a fixed factor of 1.4.    4 Reporting has been enhanced to include debit balances outside approved Lombard lending facilities, which resulted in an increase for Number of obligors.

Section 3  Counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) includes over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives, securities financing transactions (SFTs) and long settlement transactions. Within traded products, we determine the regulatory credit exposure on the majority of our derivatives portfolio by applying the effective expected positive exposure (EPE) and stressed EPE as defined in the Basel III framework. However, for the rest of the portfolio we apply the current exposure method (CEM) based on the replacement value of derivatives in combination with a regulatory prescribed add-on. For the majority of SFTs (securities borrowing, securities lending, margin lending, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements), we determine the regulatory credit exposure using the close-out period (COP) approach.  

RWA for CCR increased by CHF 6.8 billion, primarily driven by an update of the stress period used for the Basel III exposure-at-default calculation, as well as the implementation of changes to the loss given default (LGD) parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions.

1 Standardized approach for CCR. Calculated in accordance with the current exposure method (CEM) until SA-CCR is implemented with expected effective date 1 January 2018.    2 Replacement costs include collateral mitigation for on- and off-balance sheet exposures related to CCR for derivative transactions.    3 With expected effective date 1 January 2018, an alpha factor of 1.4 will be used for calculating regulatory EAD, following the implementation of SA-CCR.

 

In addition to the default risk capital requirements for CCR determined based on the A-IRB or standardized approach, we are required to add a capital charge on derivatives to cover the risk of mark-to-market losses associated with the deterioration of counterparty credit quality. This capital charge is called credit valuation adjustment (CVA). The advanced CVA value-at-risk (VaR) approach was used to calculate the CVA capital charge where we apply the internal model method (IMM). Where this is not the case, the standardized CVA approach was applied. More information on our portfolios subject to the CVA capital charge as of 30 June 2017 is provided in the table below.

Exposures at default (EADs) subject to the advanced CVA capital charge decreased by CHF 8.6 billion. This was primarily due to a decrease in our Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses within the Investment Bank, mainly related to foreign exchange contracts, and a reduction in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio, mainly reflecting fair value changes in interest rate contracts, as well as maturities and trade terminations.

RWA for CCR increased by CHF 7.2 billion, primarily driven by the implementation of changes to the LGD parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions, and by an update of the stress period used for the Basel III EAD calculation. These changes also impacted the RWA density, which increased 6.4 percentage points to 26.6% as of 30 June 2017. More information on RWA, including details on movements in RWA, is provided on pages 4-5 in our UBS Group AG and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups reports for the first and second quarters of 2017, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors

The 10.1 percentage point increase in average LGDs is primarily driven by the aforementioned changes to the LGD parameters for exposures to multinationals, sovereigns and financial institutions.

Collateral received and posted from derivative transactions decreased by CHF 8 billion and CHF 6 billion, respectively. This was mostly driven by a reduction in replacement values, predominantly in our Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses within the Investment Bank, mainly related to foreign exchange contracts, reflecting currency market movements, and a reduction in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio, mostly in interest rate contracts, reflecting fair value changes, as well as maturities and trade terminations. The increase in collateral received from securities financing transactions was primarily related to our prime brokerage business. Collateral posted in securities financing transactions increased mainly due to the aforementioned rebalancing of our HQLA portfolio.

1 This table was prepared on the basis of the disclosure requirements published by FINMA in October 2015. Once we adopt the interpretation included in “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (BCBS 376)" issued by BCBS in August 2016, collateral received and posted will be subject to haircuts. Furthermore, this table includes collateral received and posted with and without the right of rehypothecation, but excludes securities placed with central banks related to undrawn credit lines and for payment, clearing and settlement purposes for which there were no associated liabilities or contingent liabilities.    2 Includes collateral received in derivative transactions, primarily initial margins, that are placed with a third-party custodian and to which UBS has only access in the case of counterparty default. Prior-period information has been restated accordingly.    3 Includes collateral posted to central counterparties, where we apply a 0% risk weight for trades that we have entered into on behalf of a client and where the client has signed a legally enforceable agreement stipulating that the default risk of that central counterparty is carried by the client.

 

 

Notionals for derivatives decreased by CHF 19.7 billion for protection bought and by CHF 18.4 billion for protection sold, primarily driven by reductions in Corporate Center – Group ALM following trade compression with central counterparties, as well as the continuous reduction in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio. An additional reduction was due to lower trading volumes in the Investment Bank.

Section 4  Securitizations

Introduction

This section provides information on traditional and synthetic securitization exposures in the banking and trading book based on the Basel III framework. Securitized exposures are generally risk weighted, based on their external ratings. This section also provides information on the regulatory capital requirement associated with the securitization exposures in the banking book.

In a traditional securitization, a pool of loans (or other debt obligations) is typically transferred to structured entities that have been established to own the loan pool and to issue tranched securities to third-party investors referencing this pool of loans. In a synthetic securitization, legal ownership of securitized pools of assets is typically retained, but associated credit risk is transferred to structured entities typically through guarantees, credit derivatives or credit-linked notes. Hybrid structures with a mix of traditional and synthetic features are disclosed as synthetic securitizations.

We act in various roles in securitization transactions. As originator, we create or purchase financial assets, which are
then securitized in traditional or synthetic securitization transactions, enabling us to transfer significant risk to third-party investors. As sponsor, we manage, provide financing for or advise securitization programs. In line with the Basel III framework, sponsoring includes underwriting activities. In all other cases, we act in the role of investor by taking securitization positions.

Securitization exposures in the banking and trading book

The tables “SEC1: Securitization exposures in the banking book” and “SEC2: Securitization exposures in the trading book” outline the carrying values on the balance sheet in the banking and trading books as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016. The activity is further broken down by our role (originator, sponsor or investor) and by securitization type (traditional or synthetic).

Amounts disclosed under the Traditional  column of these tables reflect the total outstanding notes at par value issued by the securitization vehicle at issuance. For synthetic securitization transactions, the amounts disclosed generally reflect the balance sheet carrying values of the securitized exposures at issuance.

Section 5  Market risk

Overview

The amount of capital required to underpin market risk in the regulatory trading book is calculated using a variety of methods approved by FINMA. The components of market risk RWA are value-at-risk (VaR), stressed VaR (SVaR), an add-on for risks that are potentially not fully modeled in VaR, the incremental risk charge (IRC), the comprehensive risk measure (CRM) for the correlation portfolio and the securitization framework for securitization positions in the trading book. Refer to pages 38-39 in the Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information on each of these components.


Securitization positions in the trading book

Our exposure to securitization positions in the trading book is limited and relates primarily to positions in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio that we continue to wind down. A small amount of exposure also arises from secondary trading in commercial mortgage-backed securities in the Investment Bank. Refer to the “Regulatory exposures and risk-weighted assets” table in section 1 and to section 4 of this report for more information.

The table below provides information on market risk RWA from securitization exposures in the trading book.

Regulatory calculation of market risk

The table below shows minimum, maximum, average and period-end regulatory VaR, SVaR, the IRC and the comprehensive risk capital charge.

During the first half of 2017, 10-day 99% regulatory and SVaR increased, driven primarily by Equities and Foreign Exchange, Rates and Credit businesses.

MR4: Comparison of VaR estimates with gains/losses

The “Group: development of backtesting revenues and actual trading revenues against backtesting VaR (1-day, 99% confidence)” chart below shows the six-month development of backtesting VaR against the Group’s backtesting revenues for the first half of 2017. The chart shows the negative and the positive tails of the backtesting VaR distribution at 99% confidence intervals representing, the losses and gains, respectively, that could potentially be realized over a one-day period at that level of confidence.

The asymmetry between the negative and positive tails is due to the long gamma risk profile that was run historically in the Investment Bank. This long gamma position profits from increases in volatility, which therefore benefits the positive tail of the VaR simulated profit or loss distribution.

There were no Group VaR negative backtesting exceptions in the first half of 2017. The total number of negative backtesting exceptions within a 250-business-day window decreased from seven to two as the oldest exceptions had fallen out of the time window. Correspondingly, the FINMA VaR multiplier for market risk RWA calculation decreased from 3.65 to 3.00.

More information on the backtesting exceptions that occurred during 2016 is provided on page 151 of our Annual Report 2016, available under “Annual reporting” at www.ubs.com/investors , and on page 48 of our Basel III Pillar 3 UBS Group AG 2016 report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors
