Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Introduction

The 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 aims to encourage market discipline by requiring banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly on risk and capital.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) requires us to publish comprehensive quantitative and qualitative Pillar 3 disclosures annually, as well as an update of quantitative disclosures and any significant changes to qualitative information semi-annually. This report relates to UBS Group AG on a consolidated basis and is based on phase-in rules under the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Basel III framework, as implemented by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council and required by FINMA regulation. It provides an update to our BIS Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures as presented in our Annual Report 2015, to the extent that this information was not already provided in our first and second quarter 2016 reports. In the first half of 2016, we did not have any significant changes to qualitative information.

Capital information as of 30 June 2016 for UBS Group AG (consolidated) is provided in the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2016 report. Total and tier 1 capital ratios related to the significant bank subsidiaries UBS AG, UBS Switzerland AG and UBS Limited, are also disclosed in the “Legal entity financial and regulatory information” section of our second quarter 2016 report. Moreover, selected regulatory information for UBS AG (consolidated) is presented in the “Capital management” section of the UBS AG second quarter 2016 report.

®      Refer to the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2016 report for more information on regulatory requirements

®      Refer to “Pillar 3, SEC filings & other disclosures” at www.ubs.com/investors  for more information on G-SIB indicators and previous Pillar 3 reports

Revised requirements for Swiss systemically relevant banks

In May 2016, the Swiss Federal Council adopted the 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. Disclosures in this report are prepared on the basis of the Swiss SRB requirements applicable as of 30 June 2016.

®    Refer to the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2016 report for more information on the regulatory framework and requirements

Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements

In January 2015, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements that aim to improve comparability and consistency of disclosures, through the introduction of harmonized templates. The revised requirements will be applicable to our Pillar 3 disclosures from 31 December 2016 onward.

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 risk management and control purposes. Our Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures are generally based on measures of risk exposure used to derive the regulatory capital required to underpin those risks.

The table on the next page provides a summary of the approaches we use for the main risk categories to derive risk-weighted assets (RWA).

The naming conventions for the exposure segments used in the following tables are based on BIS rules and may differ from
those under Swiss and EU regulations. For example, “sovereigns” under the BIS naming convention are termed “central governments and central banks” under the Swiss and EU regulations. Similarly, “banks” are “institutions” and “residential mortgages” are “claims secured by residential real estate.”

Our RWA are calculated according to the BIS Basel III framework, as implemented by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council and required under FINMA regulation.

UBS approach 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk by exposure segment

Under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach applied for the majority of our businesses, counterparty risk weights are determined by reference to internal counterparty ratings and loss given default estimates. We use internal models to measure the credit risk exposures to third parties on derivatives and securities financing transactions. All internal credit risk models are approved by FINMA. For a subset of our credit portfolio, we apply the standardized approach, based on external ratings.

Securitization /

resecuritization in the banking book

Securitization / resecuritization exposures in the banking book are generally assessed using the ratings-based approach, applying risk weights based on external ratings. For certain exposures, the supervisory formula-based approach is applied, considering the A-IRB risk weights.

Equity instruments in the banking book

Simple risk weight method under the IRB approach.

Credit valuation adjustment (CVA)

The credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is an additional capital requirement to the existing counterparty credit risk default charge. Banks are required to hold capital for the risk of mark-to-market losses (i.e., CVA) associated with the deterioration of counterparty credit quality. The model that we use is approved by FINMA. For a subset of our credit portfolio, we apply the standardized approach.

Settlement risk

Capital requirements for failed transactions are determined according to the rules for failed trades and non-delivery-versus- payment transactions under the BIS Basel III framework.

Non-counterparty- related  risk 

The required capital for non-counterparty-related assets such as our premises, other property, equipment and software, deferred tax assets on temporary differences and defined benefit plans is calculated according to prescribed regulatory risk weights.

Market risk 

 

Value- at-risk (VaR) 

The regulatory capital requirement is calculated using a variety of methods approved by FINMA. The components are value- at-risk (VaR), stressed VaR (SVaR), an add-on for risks which are potentially not fully modeled in VaR (RniV), 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, which is described below. Details on the derivation of RWA for each of these components are provided in the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2015.

Stressed VaR  (SVaR) 

Add-on for risks-not-
in-
VaR  (RniV)

Incremental risk charge (IRC)

Comprehensive risk measure (CRM)

Securitization

resecuritization in the trading  book

Securitization / resecuritization in the trading book are assessed for their general market risk as well as for their specific risk. The capital requirement for general market risk is determined by the VaR and SVaR methods, whereas the capital requirement for specific risk is determined using the CRM method or the ratings-based approach, applying risk weights based on external ratings.

Operational risk 

Our model to quantify operational risk meets the regulatory capital standard under the advanced measurement approach and is approved by FINMA.

Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Scope of regulatory 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.

®      Refer to “Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Note 30 Interests in subsidiaries and other entities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of our Annual Report 2015 for more information

 

The main differences in the basis of consolidation between IFRS and regulatory capital purposes relate to the following entities as of 30 June 2016:

   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 were accounted for under the equity method under IFRS;

   One entity that has issued preferred securities that were consolidated for regulatory capital purposes but not consolidated under IFRS. 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 in UBS Group AG consolidated accounts.

 

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. As of 30 June 2016, entities consolidated under IFRS, but not included in the regulatory scope of consolidation, did not report any significant capital deficiencies.

In the banking book, certain equity investments are not required to be consolidated under IFRS or in the regulatory scope. These investments mainly consist of infrastructure holdings and joint operations (for example, settlement and clearing institutions, stock and financial futures exchanges) and included our participation in the SIX Group.

Overview of exposures and risk-weighted assets

“Table 2: Detailed segmentation of exposures and risk-weighted assets” and subsequent tables provide a breakdown according to BIS-defined exposure segments as follows:

   Sovereigns,  consisting of exposures relating to sovereign states and their central banks, the BIS, the International Monetary Fund, the EU (including the European Central Bank) and eligible multilateral development banks.

   Banks,  consisting of exposures to legal entities holding a banking license. This segment also includes securities firms subject to supervisory and regulatory arrangements, including risk-based capital requirements, which are comparable to those applied to banks according to the framework and exposures to public sector entities with tax-raising power or entities whose liabilities are fully guaranteed by a public entity.

   Corporates,  consisting of all exposures that do not fit into any of the other exposure segments. This segment includes private commercial entities such as corporations, partnerships or proprietorships, insurance companies and funds, including managed funds.

   Central counterparties (CCP) consisting of clearing houses that interpose themselves between counterparties to contracts traded in one or more financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. A CCP becomes a counterparty to trades with market participants through novation, an open offer system, or another legally binding arrangement.

   Retail,  Residential mortgages, consisting of residential mortgages, regardless of exposure size, if the debtor occupies or rents out the mortgaged property.

   Retail,  Lombard lending , consisting of loans made against the pledge of eligible marketable securities, guarantees and other forms of collateral.

   Retail,  Qualifying revolving retail exposures, consisting of unsecured revolving credits that exhibit appropriate loss characteristics relating to credit card relationships treated under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach.

   Retail,  Other retail, consisting of exposures to small businesses, private clients and other retail customers without mortgage financing.

 

Table 2 also shows the gross and net exposure at default (EAD) per risk type and exposure segment, which form the basis for the calculation of RWA, as well as the capital requirement per exposure segment.

Gross EAD increased by CHF 18 billion to CHF 742 billion and net EAD by CHF 19 billion to CHF 729 billion in the first half of 2016. Both increases were mainly driven by an increase of CHF 21 billion related to credit risk, partly offset by a reduction of CHF 2 billion related to non-counterparty-related risk. This increase in credit risk was primarily a result of higher exposure to sovereigns due to an increase in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA), mainly to meet liquidity requirements applicable to our US operations from July 2016. The lower non-counterparty-related risk EAD was driven by the phase-in effect of a higher capital deduction of deferred tax assets on temporary differences from common equity tier 1 capital. This capital deduction increased from 40% in 2015 to 60% in 2016 .  

RWA increased by CHF 4 billion to CHF 217 billion as of 30 June 2016. Higher credit risk RWA and higher operational risk RWA were partly offset by lower non-counterparty-related risk RWA and market risk RWA. 

Capital requirements presented in the following tables are calculated based on our Swiss SRB total capital requirement of 14.3% of RWA as of 30 June 2016 and 12.6% of RWA as of 31 December 2015.

®    Refer to the table “Risk-weighted assets movement by key driver – fully applied” in the “Capital management” section of our first and second quarter 2016 reports for more information on RWA movements

Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Credit risk

The tables in this section provide details on the exposures used to determine the firm’s credit risk-related regulatory capital requirement. The parameters applied under the A-IRB approach are generally based on the same methodologies, data and systems we use for internal credit risk quantification, except where certain treatments are specified by regulatory requirements. These include, for example, the application of regulatory prescribed floors and multipliers, and differences with respect to eligibility criteria and exposure definitions. The exposure information presented in this section therefore differs from our internal management view disclosed in the “Risk management and control” sections of our quarterly and annual reports. Similarly, the regulatory capital prescribed measure of credit risk exposure also differs from that required under IFRS. The following credit risk-related tables are based on Swiss SRB phase-in requirements and correspond to the credit risk by exposure segment which is shown above in “Table 2: Detailed segmentation of exposures and risk-weighted assets .” 

®      Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2015 for more information

 

The regulatory gross credit exposure for banking products is equal to the drawn loan amounts represented on the balance sheet, with the exception of off-balance sheet commitments where the regulatory gross credit exposure is calculated by applying a credit conversion factor to the undrawn amount or contingent claim.

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 (sEPE) 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 securities financing transactions (securities borrowing / lending and repurchase agreements / reverse repurchase agreements), we determine the regulatory gross credit exposure using the close-out period (COP) approach. The regulatory gross credit exposure for traded products is equal to regulatory net credit exposure in “Table 2: Detailed segmentation of exposures and risk-weighted assets“ and the credit risk tables on the following pages.

The regulatory net credit risk exposure detailed in the tables on the following pages is shown as the regulatory exposure at default after applying collateral, netting and other eligible risk mitigants permitted by the relevant regulations. The information on impaired and defaulted assets, consistent with the regulatory capital treatment, is presented in the “Impairment, default and credit loss” section of this report.

Advanced internal ratings-based approach

UBS uses the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach for calculating certain credit risk exposures. Under the A-IRB approach, the required capital for credit risk is quantified through empirical models that we have developed to estimate the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), exposure at default (EAD) and other parameters, subject to FINMA approval.

®    Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2015 for more information


Tables 9a  to 9g  provide a breakdown of the regulatory net credit risk exposure, weighted average PD, LGD, RWA and the average risk weight under the A-IRB approach by internal UBS ratings across BIS-defined exposure segments.

1 Average PD for internal rating categories is based on midpoint values.     2 Total weighted average PD and LGD exclude impaired and defaulted financial instruments. Refer to the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2015 for information on impaired and defaulted financial instruments.    3 Includes exposures with managed funds (30 June 2016: CHF 46,723 million, 31 December 2015: CHF 38,954 million). Typically these funds have virtually no debt and a low A-IRB risk weight.    4 Includes high-volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE) exposures. These exposures relate to specialized lending that is secured by properties sharing higher volatilities in portfolio default rates (30 June 2016: CHF 150 million, 31 December 2015: CHF 98 million).

Standardized approach

The standardized approach is applied where mandated by regulations or where it is not possible to use the A-IRB approach . Where possible, banks have to use risk assessments prepared by external credit assessment institutions (ECAI) or export credit agencies to determine the risk weightings applied to rated counterparties.

We use three FINMA-recognized ECAI for this purpose: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. The mapping of external ratings to the standardized approach risk weights is determined by FINMA and published on its website.

 

 

Table 10a: Regulatory gross and net credit risk exposure by risk weight under the standardized approach

This table provides a breakdown of the regulatory gross and net credit risk exposure by risk weight according to BIS-defined exposure segments for those credit exposures for which we apply the standardized approach.

1 As external ratings are not used in the calculation of RWA for retail exposures and exposures to central counterparties, these exposures are not reflected in the above table. Refer to "Table 10a: Regulatory gross and net credit risk exposure by risk weight under the standardized approach" for more information on the risk weights applied for these exposures.    2 Refer to tables 32a to 32c (banking book) and 35a to 35c (trading book) of this report for a breakdown of securitization exposures by risk weight bands and rating clusters.    3 We use three FINMA-recognized ECAI to determine the risk weight for certain counterparties: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.

Table 15: Total actual and expected credit losses

The table below provides a breakdown of expected loss estimates on our credit exposures (covering banking and traded products) and actual losses recognized in our income statement, broken down by exposure segments. Both expected and actual losses relate to defaulted and non-defaulted counterparties, include specific credit valuation adjustments on derivatives and are presented net of recoveries.

Although such a comparison may provide some insight, the comparison between expected and actual losses has limitations and the two measures are not directly comparable. For example, our estimates of expected loss are calibrated on a through the cycle basis, taking into account observed losses over a prolonged historical period. In contrast, the actual loss figures presented are a point in time view of our credit loss expenses, equal to the amount recognized in the income statement in a specific financial period. Moreover, the estimated expected loss at the start of the period assumes that the portfolio will be unchanged throughout the coming year. In reality, the portfolio composition changes on an ongoing basis, affecting the actual loss experience.

Derivatives credit risk

Table 16: Credit risk exposure of derivative instruments

This table provides an overview of our credit risk exposures arising from derivatives. Exposures are provided based on the balance sheet carrying values of derivatives as well as regulatory net credit risk exposures. The net balance sheet credit exposure differs from the regulatory net credit risk exposures because of differences in valuation methods, netting and collateral deductions used for accounting and regulatory capital purposes. Net current credit risk exposure is derived from gross positive replacement values which reflect the balance sheet carrying values of derivatives after netting and eligible financial collateral, where an enforceable Master Netting Agreement is in place. Regulatory net credit exposure is calculated using our internal models or the supervisory approach.

Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Other credit risk information

Our derivatives trading is predominantly conducted on a collateralized basis. This means that our mark-to-market exposures arising from derivatives activities with collateralized counterparties are typically closed out in full or reduced to nominal levels on a regular basis by the use of collateral.

Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trading with counterparties is typically conducted under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement. Credit exposures to those counterparties from credit default swaps (CDS), together with exposures from other OTC derivatives, are netted and included in the calculation of
the collateral that is required to be posted. In many cases, agreements may additionally require one or both parties to post initial margin.

We receive collateral from or post collateral to our counterparties based on our open net receivable or net payable from OTC derivative activities. Under the terms of the ISDA master agreement and similar agreements, this collateral, which generally takes the form of cash or highly liquid debt securities, is available to cover any amounts due under those derivative transactions.

 

Table 17 : Credit derivatives

This table provides an overview of the notional amount of credit derivatives, including those used to manage risks within our banking and trading books. Notional amounts of credit derivatives do not include any netting benefits. For capital underpinning of the counterparty credit risk of derivative positions, the effective EPE or exposure according to current exposure method is applied. Notional amounts are reported based on the regulatory scope of consolidation.


Measured on a notional basis, our counterparties for buying and selling protection are mainly banks and central counterparties and to a lesser extent broker-dealers.

Equity instruments in the banking book

The regulatory capital view for equity instruments in the banking book differs from the IFRS view, primarily due to:

   Differences in the basis of valuation, for example, financial assets available for sale are subject to fair value accounting under IFRS but for regulatory capital purposes the “lower of cost or market” or “cost less impairment” concept is applied.

   Certain instruments which are held as debt investments on the IFRS balance sheet, mainly investment fund units, are treated as equity instruments for regulatory capital purposes.

   Certain instruments that are held as trading portfolio assets on the IFRS balance sheet, but are not part of the regulatory VaR framework, are included as equity instruments in the banking book for regulatory capital purposes.

   Differences in the scope of consolidation.

®    Refer to the “Scope of regulatory consolidation” section of this report for more information

 

Table 18: Equity instruments in the banking book

The table below shows the different equity instruments categories held in the banking book on the basis of amounts recognized under IFRS, followed by the regulatory capital adjustment amount. This adjustment considers those situations where the treatment under IFRS and regulatory capital guidance differ, resulting in the total regulatory equity instruments exposure under the BIS framework, the corresponding RWA and the capital requirement.

The table also shows net realized gains and losses and unrealized revaluation gains relating to equity instruments.

1 Statistics at individual levels may not be summed to deduce the corresponding aggregate figures. The minima and maxima for each level may occur on different days, and likewise, the VaR for each business line or risk type, being driven by the extreme loss tail of the corresponding distribution of simulated profits and losses for that business line or risk type, may well be driven by different days in the historical time series, rendering invalid the simple summation of figures to arrive at the aggregate total.    2 Difference between the sum of the standalone VaR for the business divisions and Corporate Center units and the VaR for the Group as a whole.    3 As the minimum and maximum occur on different days for different business divisions and Corporate Center units, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification effect.

Backtesting of VaR

For backtesting purposes, we compute backtesting VaR using a 99% confidence level and one-day holding period for the population included within regulatory VaR. The backtesting process compares backtesting VaR calculated on positions at the close of each business day with the revenues generated by those positions on the following business day. Backtesting revenues exclude non-trading revenues, such as fees and commissions and revenues from intraday trading, to ensure a like-for-like comparison. A backtesting exception occurs when backtesting revenues are negative and the absolute value of those revenues is greater than the previous day’s backtesting VaR.

There were five new Group VaR negative backtesting exceptions during the first six months of 2016. This brought the total number of negative exceptions within a 250-business-day window to nine, increasing the FINMA VaR multiplier for the market risk RWA calculation from 3.0 to 3.85. We have investigated the cause of each of the backtesting exceptions and identified several factors which contributed to the increase in the number of occurrences. In particular, with market risk being managed at such low levels of VaR, the impact of these factors on the backtesting results became relatively more significant, contributing to the higher frequency of exceptions.

   The increase in market volatility relative to the volatility in the historical five-year time series led to daily profit and loss exceeding that predicted by the VaR model. Significant market volatility following the UK referendum on EU membership was also a factor in the most recent backtesting exception.

   Adjustments to trading revenues arising from non-daily marking or valuation processes can result in the recognition of profits and losses disconnected from the previous day’s backtesting VaR. We have ongoing initiatives to reduce such adjustments.

   Profit and loss on risks accounted for in the capital underpinning of risks-not-in-VaR (RniV) is captured in the backtesting revenue even though the risks are not covered by the VaR model. We continue to focus on extending the VaR model to better capture these risks.

Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Given the factors outlined above, combined with a review of the VaR model to confirm that it is performing consistent with its design and expectations considering the current risk profile and the market behavior, we do not believe that the recent increase in the number of negative backtesting exceptions indicates a deficiency in our VaR model.


The histogram “Investment Bank and Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio daily revenue distribution” shows the daily revenue distribution for the Investment Bank and Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio for the first six months of 2016. This includes, in addition to backtesting revenues, revenues such as commissions and fees, revenues from intraday trading and own credit.

Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

Securitization

This section provides details of 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 details of the regulatory capital requirement associated with these exposures.

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 different 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 or advise securitization programs. In line with the Basel framework, sponsoring includes underwriting, that is, placing securities in the market. In all other cases, we act in the role of investor by taking securitization positions.

RWA attributable to securitization positions decreased to CHF 1.1 billion as of 30 June 2016 from CHF 1.4 billion as of 31 December 2015. Banking book RWA in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio, decreased by CHF 0.2 billion, mainly due to early redemption of other asset backed securities. Trading book RWA decreased by CHF 0.1 billion due to residential and commercial mortgage-related positions.

®      Refer to “Note 30 Interests in subsidiaries and other entities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of our Annual Report 2015 for more information on structured entities

®      Refer to the “Corporate Center” section of our second quarter 2016 report for more information on RWA by portfolio composition and exposure category

Objectives, roles and involvement

Securitization in the banking book

Securitization positions held in the banking book include tranches of synthetic securitization of loan exposures. These were primarily hedging transactions executed by synthetically transferring credit risk. In addition, securitization in the banking book includes legacy risk positions in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio.

In the first half of 2016, we acted in the roles of both originator and sponsor. As originator, we sold originated commercial mortgage loans into securitization programs. As sponsor, we managed or advised securitization programs and helped to place the securities in the market. Refer to “Table 25: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book ” for an overview of our originating and sponsoring activities in the first half of 2016 and for the full year 2015.

Securitization and resecuritization positions in the banking book are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost less impairment. The impairment assessment for a securitized position is generally based on the net present value of future cash flows expected from the underlying pool of assets.

Securitization in the trading book

Securitizations, including correlation products, held in the trading book are part of the trading activities, which typically include market-making and client facilitation. The trading book includes positions in our correlation book and legacy positions in leveraged super senior tranches. In the trading book, securitization and resecuritization positions are measured at fair value, reflecting market prices where available or are based on our internal pricing models.

In the first half of 2016, we acted in the role of sponsor where we managed or advised securitization programs and helped to place the securities in the market. Refer to “Table 26: Securitization activity for the period in the trading book” for an overview of our sponsoring activities in the first half of 2016 and for the full year 2015.

Type of structured entities and affiliated entities involved in
the securitization transactions

For the securitization of third-party exposures, the type of structured entities employed is selected as appropriate based on the type of transaction undertaken. Examples include limited liability companies, common law trusts and depositor entities.

We also manage or advise significant groups of affiliated entities that invest in exposures we have securitized or in structured entities that we sponsor.

®      Refer to “Note 30 Interests in subsidiaries and other entities” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of our Annual Report 2015 for more information on structured entities

®      Refer to the “Corporate Center” section of our second quarter 2016 report for more information on RWA by portfolio composition and exposure category


Managing and monitoring of the credit and market risk of securitization positions

The banking book securitization and resecuritization portfolio is subject to specific risk monitoring, which may include interest rate and credit spread sensitivity analysis, as well as inclusion in firm-wide earnings-at-risk, capital-at-risk and combined stress test metrics.

The trading book securitization and resecuritization positions are also subject to multiple risk limits, such as management VaR and stress limits as well as market value limits. As part of managing risks within predefined risk limits, traders may utilize hedging and risk mitigation strategies. Hedging may, however, expose the firm to basis risks as the hedging instrument and the position being hedged may not always move in parallel. Such basis risks are managed within the overall limits. Any retained securitization from origination activities and any purchased securitization positions are governed by risk limits together with any other trading positions. Legacy trading book securitization exposure is subject to the same management VaR limit framework. Additionally, risk limits are used to control the unwind, novation and asset sales process on an ongoing basis.

Regulatory capital treatment of securitization structures

Generally, in both the banking and the trading book we apply the ratings-based approach to securitization positions using ratings, if available, from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings for all securitization and resecuritization exposures. The selection of the External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI) is based on the primary rating agency concept. This concept is applied, in principle, to avoid having the credit assessment by one ECAI applied to one or more tranches and another ECAI for the other tranches, unless this is the result of the application of the specific rules for multiple assessments. If any two of the aforementioned rating agencies have issued a rating for a particular position, we would apply the lower of the two credit ratings. If all three rating agencies have issued a rating for a particular position, we would apply the middle of the three credit ratings. Under the ratings-based approach, the amount of capital required for securitization and resecuritization exposures in the banking book is capped at the level of the capital requirement that would have been assessed against the underlying assets had they not been securitized. This treatment has been applied in particular to the US and European reference-linked note programs. For the purposes of determining regulatory capital and the Pillar 3 disclosure for these positions, the underlying exposures are reported under the standardized approach, the advanced internal ratings-based approach or the securitization approach, depending on the category of the underlying security. If the underlying security is reported under the standardized approach or the advanced internal ratings-based approach, the related positions are excluded from the tables on the following pages.

 

37  


Basel III Pillar 3 First Half 2016 report

The supervisory formula approach is applied to synthetic securitizations of portfolios of counterparty credit risk inherent in derivatives and loan exposures for which an external rating was not sought. The supervisory formula approach is also applied to leveraged super senior tranches.

In the trading book, the comprehensive risk measure is used for the correlation portfolio as defined by Basel III requirements. This measure broadly covers securitizations of liquid corporate underlying assets as well as associated hedges that are not necessarily securitizations, for example, single-name credit default swaps and credit default swaps on indices.

We do not apply the concentration ratio approach or the internal assessment approach to securitization positions.

The counterparty risk of interest rate or foreign currency derivatives with securitization vehicles is treated under the advanced internal ratings-based approach and is therefore not part of this disclosure.

Accounting policies

Refer to “Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of our Annual Report 2015 for information on accounting policies that relate to securitization activities, primarily “Note 1a item 3 Subsidiaries and structured entities” and “Note 1a item 12 Securitization structures set up by UBS.”

We disclose our intention to securitize exposures as an originator if assets are designated for securitization and a tentative pricing date for a transaction is known as of the balance sheet date or if a pricing of a transaction has been fixed. Exposures intended to be securitized continue to be valued in the same way until such time as the securitization transaction takes place.

Presentation principles

It is our policy to present Pillar 3 disclosures for securitization transactions and balances in line with the capital adequacy treatments which were applied under Pillar 1 in the respective period presented.

We do not amend comparative prior-period numbers for presentational changes triggered by new and revised information from third-party data providers, as long as the updated information does not impact the Pillar 1 treatments of prior periods.

Good practice guidelines

Disclosures within this section consider the “Industry good practice guidelines on Pillar 3 disclosure requirement for securitization” as published by the European Banking Federation, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe, the European Savings Banks Group and the European Association of Public Banks and Funding Agencies.

Securitization exposures in the banking and trading book

Tables 25 and 26 outline the exposures measured as the transaction size we securitized at inception in the banking and trading book in the first half of 2016 and in full year 2015. The activity is further broken down by our role (originator / sponsor) and by type (traditional / 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.

For securitization transactions where we acted as originator, exposures are split into two parts: those in which we have retained securitization positions and / or continue to be involved on an ongoing basis (for example credit enhancement or implicit support), and those in which we do not have retained securitization positions and / or have no further involvement.

Where we acted as both originator and sponsor to a securitization, originated assets are reported under Originator and the total amount of the underlying assets securitized is reported under Sponsor. Therefore, as of 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015, amounts of CHF 1.0 billion and CHF 2.8 billion, respectively, were included in “Table 25: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book ” and in “Table 26: Securitization activity for the period in the trading book ” under both Originator and Sponsor.

Table 27: Outstanding securitized exposures

This table outlines the outstanding transaction size of securitization exposures which we have originated / sponsored and retained securitization positions at the balance sheet date in the banking or trading book and / or are otherwise involved on an ongoing basis, for example through the provision of credit enhancement or implicit support.

Amounts disclosed under the "Traditional" column in this table reflect the total outstanding notes at par value issued by the securitization vehicle. For synthetic securitization transactions, we generally disclose the balance sheet carrying values of the exposures securitized or, for hybrid structures, the outstanding notes at par value issued by the securitization vehicle.

The table also includes securitization activities conducted in the first half of 2016 and full year 2015 in which we retained and / or purchased positions. These are also provided in “Table 25: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book. ” Where no positions were retained, the outstanding transaction size is only disclosed in the year of inception for originator transactions.

All values in this table are as of the balance sheet date.

1 Both net long and net short positions are underpinned in the trading book, and EAD is capped at the maximum possible loss.    2 In line with our disclosure principles, we disclose the UBS originated and sponsored deals only where the positions result in an RWA or capital deduction under Pillar 1.    3 This disclosure excludes sponsor-only activity where we do not retain a position. In such cases, we advised the originator or placed securities in the market for a fee, and there was no other impact on our capital ratios.

Table 28: Impaired or past due securitized exposures and losses related to securitized exposures in the banking book

This table provides a breakdown of the outstanding impaired or past due exposures at the balance sheet date as well as losses recognized in our income statement for transactions in which we acted as originator or sponsor in the banking book. Losses are reported after taking into account the offsetting effects of any credit protection from eligible risk mitigation instruments under the Basel III framework for the retained or purchased positions.


Where we did not retain positions, impaired or past due information is only reported in the year of inception of a transaction. Where available, past due information is derived from investor reports. Past due is generally defined as delinquency above 60 days. Where investor reports do not provide this information, alternative methods have been applied, which may include an assessment of the fair value of the retained position or reference assets, or identification of any credit events.

Gains on sale – securitization exposures to be deducted from Swiss SRB tier 1 capital

In the first half of 2016 and in full year 2015, we did not commit to purchase or retain a significant exposure relating to securitization originated by UBS for which we have recorded gains on sale that would require deduction from Swiss SRB tier 1 capital.

Securitization exposures subject to early amortization in the banking and trading book

In the first half of 2016 and in full year 2015, we did not retain any securitization structures in the banking and trading book that are subject to early amortization treatment.

Resecuritization positions retained or purchased in the banking book

As of 30 June 2016, we had not retained or purchased material resecuritization positions in the banking book.

 

Table 33: Resecuritization positions retained or purchased in the trading book

The table below outlines resecuritization positions retained or purchased subject to the securitization framework for specific market risk held in the trading book on a gross long and gross short basis, including synthetic long and short positions resulting from derivative transactions. It also includes positions on a net
long and net short basis, that is, gross long and short positions after offsetting to the extent such offsetting is eligible under the Basel III framework. As of 30 June 2016, none of the retained or purchased trading book resecuritization positions had an integrated insurance wrapper

Table 34: Correlation products subject to the comprehensive risk measure or the securitization framework for specific risk

This table outlines products in the correlation portfolio that we retained or purchased in the trading book, irrespective of our role in the securitization transaction. They are subject to either the comprehensive risk measure or the securitization framework for specific risk. Correlation products subject to the securitization framework are leveraged super senior positions. The values disclosed are market values for cash positions, and replacement values and notional values for derivative positions. Derivatives are split by positive replacement value and negative replacement value. For positions subject to the comprehensive risk measure, the decrease in notional values related to positive and negative replacement values resulted mainly from trades maturing during the period. The increase in notional values for products subject to the securitization framework is due to currency movements.

1 References link the lines of this table to the respective reference numbers provided in the “References” column in “Table 37: Reconciliation of accounting balance sheet to balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation."    2 The CHF 6,412 million (CHF 3,847 million and CHF 2,565 million) reported in line 8 includes goodwill on investments in associates of CHF 344 million and DTL on goodwill of CHF 56 million. The CHF 272 million reported in line 9 includes DTL on intangible assets of CHF 5 million.    3 The CHF 7,699 million (CHF 4,619 million and CHF 3,079 million) deferred tax assets recognized for tax loss carry-forwards reported in line 10 differ from the CHF 7,213 million deferred tax assets shown in the "Deferred tax assets" line in Table 37, because the latter figure is shown after the offset of deferred tax liabilities for cash flow hedge gains (CHF 427 million) and other temporary differences, which are adjusted out in line 11 and other lines of this table, respectively.    4 The CHF 1,938 million (CHF 822 million and CHF 1,116 million) deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences in line 21 differ from the CHF 4,939 million deferred tax assets on temporary differences shown in the “Deferred tax assets” line in Table 37, as the former relates only to the amount above the 10% threshold.    5 CHF 7,785 million and CHF 890 million reported in lines 32 and 58, respectively, of this table, include the following positions: CHF 4,397 million and CHF 2,411 million recognized in the "Debt issued" line in Table 37, CHF 1,209 million DCCP recognized in the "Other liabilities" line in Table 37 and CHF 658 million recognized in DCCP-related charge for regulatory capital purpose in line 16 of this table.    6 The CHF 12,074 million in line 51 includes CHF 10,441 million low-trigger loss-absorbing tier 2 capital recognized in the "Debt issued" line in Table 37, which is shown net of CHF 1 million investments in own tier 2 instruments reported in line 52 of this table and CHF 741 million phase-out capital recognized in the "Debt issued" line in Table 37, which is shown net of CHF 1 million investments in own tier 2 reported in line 52 of this table and high-trigger loss-absorbing capital of CHF 890 million reported in line 58.    7 The BCBS G-SIB requirements of 0.25% (line 67) are exceeded by our Swiss SRB capital buffer requirements (line 65) and therefore have no incremental impact on our buffer requirements.

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 30 June 2016, the minimum ratio requirements for common equity tier 1 (CET1) including capital conservation buffer and for total capital including capital conservation buffer were 5.125% and 8.625%, 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 2015, the FSB confirmed that, based on the year-end 2014 indicators, the relevant 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.
