Introduction

 

This report provides an update to our Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures for UBS Group as presented in our Annual Report 2013 to the extent that this was not already provided in our first and second quarter 2014 reports.

The capital adequacy framework consists of three pillars, each of which focuses on a different aspect of capital adequacy. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market and operational 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.

As UBS is considered a systemically relevant bank (SRB) under Swiss banking law, we are required to comply on both a Group and UBS AG (Parent Bank) basis with regulations based on the Basel III framework as applicable for Swiss SRB.

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 is based on Swiss SRB Basel III phase-in rules.

  è  

Refer to “Swiss SRB Basel III capital framework” and “Differences between Swiss SRB and BIS Basel III capital” in the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2014 report for more information on regulatory requirements and differences between the Swiss SRB and BIS Basel III capital regulations, respectively

Risk exposure measures and derivation of 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 determining our regulatory capital or for risk management purposes. Our Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures are generally based on measures of risk exposure used to determine the regulatory capital required to underpin those risks.

The table below provides a more detailed summary of the approaches we use for the main risk categories for determining regulatory capital.

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 European Union (EU) regulations. For example, “sovereigns” under the BIS naming convention equate to what are termed “central governments and central banks” under the Swiss and EU regulations. Similarly, “banks” equate to “institutions” and “residential mortgages” equate to “claims secured by residential real estate.”

Our risk-weighted assets (RWA) are published according to the BIS Basel III framework, as implemented by the revised Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance issued by the Swiss Federal Council and required by FINMA regulation.

  è  

Refer to “Differences between Swiss SRB and BIS Basel III capital” in the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2014 report for more information on differences between Swiss SRB and BIS Basel III capital regulations

Credit risk

    

Counterparty credit risk by exposure segment

   Under the advanced internal ratings-based approach applied for the majority of our businesses, counterparty credit risk weights are determined by reference to internal counterparty ratings and loss given default estimates. We use internal models, approved by FINMA, to measure the credit risk exposures to third parties on over-the-counter derivatives and securities financing transactions. Our disclosure includes the Basel III requirements for credit risk that were adopted as of 1 January 2013 (e.g., stressed expected positive exposure (sEPE), changes in the risk weighting of central counterparties, capital charge for credit valuation adjustments, asset value correlation (AVC) multiplier). For a subset of our credit portfolio, we apply the standardized approach, based on external ratings.

Securitization / re-securitization in the banking book

   Securitization / re-securitization 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 based on the capital charge using the advanced internal ratings-based approach had the underlying exposures not been securitized.

Equity instruments in the banking book

   Simple risk-weight method under the advanced internal ratings-based approach.

Credit valuation adjustment (CVA)

   The credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is an additional capital charge 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.

Settlement risk

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

Non-counterparty-related risk

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

Market risk

   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, the incremental risk charge, the comprehensive risk charge for the correlation portfolio and the securitization framework for securitization positions in the trading book 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 2013.

Securitization / re-securitization in the trading book

   Securitization / re-securitization exposures in the trading book are assessed for their general market risk as well as for their specific risk. The capital charged for general market risk is determined by the value-at-risk (VaR) and stressed VaR (SVaR) methods, whereas the capital charge for specific risk is determined using the comprehensive risk measure 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. Operational risk RWA also include the incremental operational risk RWA based on the supplemental operational risk capital analysis mutually agreed to by UBS and FINMA.

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 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. More information on the IFRS scope of consolidation as well as the list of significant subsidiaries included in this scope as of 31 December 2013 are available in the “Financial information” section of our Annual Report 2013.

  è  

Refer to “Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Note 30 Interests in subsidiaries and other entities” in the “Financial information” section of our Annual Report 2013 for more information

The main differences in the basis of consolidation between IFRS and regulatory capital purposes relate to the following entities, and apply regardless of our level of control as of 30 June 2014:

 

Approximately 170 real estate and commercial companies and investment vehicles were consolidated under IFRS, but not for regulatory capital purposes, but were risk-weighted instead;

 

Seven insurance companies were consolidated under IFRS, but not for regulatory capital purposes, but were risk-weighted based on applicable threshold rules instead;

 

Three joint ventures were fully consolidated for regulatory capital purposes, but were accounted for under the equity method under IFRS;

 

Four entities which have issued preferred securities are consolidated for regulatory capital purposes but not consolidated under IFRS. These entities hold bonds issued by UBS which are eliminated in the consolidated regulatory capital accounts. These entities do not have material third-party asset balances and equity is attributable to non-controlling interests.

The table below provides a list of the most significant entities that were included in the IFRS scope of consolidation, but not in the regulatory capital scope of consolidation. As of 30 June 2014, entities consolidated under IFRS, but not included in the regulatory scope of consolidation, did not report any capital deficiencies.

In the banking book, approximately 90 equity investments were not required to be consolidated, neither under IFRS nor in the regulatory scope. These investments mainly consisted 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. These investments were risk-weighted based on applicable threshold rules.

Table of Contents

Risk-weighted assets

 

“Table 2: Detailed segmentation of Basel III 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. This segment also includes 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, funds.

 

Central counterparties – A central counterparty (CCP) is a clearing house that interposes itself between counterparties to contracts traded in one or more financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer and thereby ensuring the future performance of open contracts.

   

A CCP becomes 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 obligor occupies or rents out the mortgaged property.

 

Retail – Lombard lending, consisting of loans made against the pledge of eligible marketable securities or cash.

 

Retail – Other retail, consisting of exposures to small businesses, private clients and other retail customers without mortgage financing. This segment also includes “Qualifying revolving retail exposures.”

Table 2 also shows the gross and net exposure at default (EAD) per risk type and exposure segment for the current disclosure period, which form the basis for the calculation of the RWA as well as the capital requirement per exposure category. The Basel III credit risk-related components “Credit valuation adjustment (CVA)” and “Stressed expected positive exposure (sEPE)” are disclosed separately in this table.

1  Calculated based on our Swiss SRB Basel III total capital requirement of 11.5% of RWA.    2  Majority relates to exposures to Banks and Corporates.    3  Exposures to sovereigns increased by CHF 55 billion between 31 December 2013 and 30 June 2014, mainly as assets held at central banks, which are part of our multi-currency portfolio of unencumbered, high-quality liquid assets, are now treated under the advanced IRB / model-based approach. Previously, these assets were treated under the standardized approach. The impact on RWA was minimal due to the low risk weights that these exposures attract.    4  Includes qualifying revolving retail exposures of RWA 0.5 billion as of 30 June 2014.    5  Simple risk-weight method.    6  Incremental RWA reflect the effect of the supplemental operational risk capital analysis mutually agreed to by UBS and FINMA.    7  Refer to the “Capital management” section of our second quarter 2014 report for more information on the differences between phase-in and fully applied RWA.

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 advanced internal ratings-based 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 that 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 Basel III phase-in and correspond to the counterparty credit risk by exposure segment excluding sEPE, which is shown in “Table 2: Detailed segmentation of Basel III exposures and risk-weighted assets.”

  è  

Refer to “Credit risk” in the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2013 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 derivative exposures by applying the effective expected positive exposure (EPE) and sEPE as defined in the Basel III framework. However, for a small portion of the derivatives portfolio we apply the current exposure method (CEM) based on the replacement value of derivatives in combination with a regulatory prescribed add-on. For a 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 the credit risk tables on the following pages.

The regulatory net credit 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 by segmentation, consistent with the regulatory capital treatment, is presented in the “Impairment, default and credit loss” section of this report.

1 Total regulatory net credit exposure increased by CHF 51 billion between 31 December 2013 and 30 June 2014, mainly due to higher exposures to sovereigns, primarily as assets held at central banks, which are part of our multi-currency portfolio of unencumbered, high-quality liquid assets, are now treated under the advanced IRB / model-based approach. Previously, these assets were treated under the standardized approach.

Advanced internal ratings-based approach

UBS uses the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach for calculating certain credit risk exposures across all business divisions and the Corporate Center. Under the A-IRB approach, the required capital for credit risk is quantified through empirical models developed by us for estimating the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), exposure at default (EAD) and other parameters, subject to the approval of FINMA.

  è  

Refer to “Credit risk models” in the “Risk management and control” section of our Annual Report 2013 for more information

Tables 9a to 9f provide a breakdown of the regulatory net credit exposure-weighted average PD, LGD, RWA and the average risk weight by internal UBS ratings across BIS-defined exposure segments. The allocation of exposure to the UBS internal ratings in the following tables is based on PD before the effects of regulatory adjustments. In addition, a breakdown of the regulatory net credit exposure and RWA for which we apply the A-IRB approach by internal UBS rating class is shown for each of the exposure segments.

Total regulatory net credit exposure and RWA are not equal to the numbers presented in table 2, as impaired and defaulted assets are excluded in tables 9a through 9f.

Standardized approach

The standardized approach is generally applied where it is not possible to use the A-IRB approach. The standardized approach requires banks 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 FINMA-recognized ECAI risk assessments to

determine the risk weightings for certain counterparties according to the BIS-defined exposure segments.

We use three FINMA-recognized ECAI for this purpose: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, 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 exposure by risk weight under the standardized approach

 

This table provides a breakdown of the regulatory gross and net credit exposure by risk weight according to BIS-defined exposure segments

for those credit exposures for which we apply the standardized approach.

Derivatives credit risk

Table 16: Credit exposure of derivative instruments

 

This table provides an overview of our credit exposures arising from derivatives. Exposures are provided based on the balance sheet carrying values of derivatives as well as regulatory net credit exposures. The net balance sheet credit exposure differs from the regulatory net credit exposures because of differences in valuation methods, netting and

collateral deductions used for accounting and regulatory capital purposes. Net current credit exposure is derived from gross positive replacement values, whereas regulatory net credit exposure is calculated using our internal credit valuation models.

Other credit risk information

Our credit 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.

Derivatives trading with counterparties with high credit ratings 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 over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, are netted and included in the calculation

of the collateral that is required to be posted. Trading with lower-rated counterparties, such as hedge funds, would generally require an initial margin to be posted by the counterparty.

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 netting 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.

We did not have any significant losses from failed settlements of CDS contracts in the first half of 2014.

 

 

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 are based on accounting definitions and do not include any netting benefits. For capital underpinning of the counterparty

credit risk of derivative positions, the effective expected positive exposure (or exposure according to current exposure method) is taken. Notional amounts are reported based on regulatory scope of consolidation and only include amounts related to positive and negative replacement values.

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 the following:

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

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

Differences in the scope of consolidation.

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.

We did not have any Group backtesting exceptions in the first six months of 2014 or in the 12 months preceding the end of June 2014.

The chart “Group: development of backtesting revenues against backtesting VaR” shows the development of backtest VaR against backtesting revenues of the Group for the first six months of 2014. The chart shows both the negative and positive tails of the backtest VaR distribution at 99% confidence intervals representing, respectively, the losses and gains that could potentially be realized over a one-day period at that level of confidence.

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 2014. This includes, in addition to backtesting revenues, revenues such as commissions and fees, revenues for intraday trading and own credit. Negative trading revenue in the second quarter of 2014 was driven by exits in Non-core.

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 risk-weighted, generally, 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 7.4 billion as of 30 June 2014 from CHF 10.2 billion as of 31 December 2013, mainly due to a decline of CHF 3.0 billion in Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio, predominantly reflecting the sale of commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. This was partly offset by an increase due to the expiry of the transition phase mandated under the Basel 2.5 framework, i.e., net long and net short securitization positions in the trading book require separate underpinning since January 2014, rather than the higher of net long or net short positions underpinned until 31 December 2013.

Objectives, roles and involvement

Securitization in the banking book

Securitization positions held in the banking book include tranches of synthetic securitization of loan exposures and over-the-counter derivatives. These were primarily hedging transactions executed in 2013 and 2012 by synthetically transferring counterparty credit risk. In addition, securitization in the banking book includes legacy risk positions, some of which were (i) reclassified under IFRS from Held for trading to Loans and receivables in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, or (ii) classified as Loans and receivables when acquiring student loan auction rate securities from clients. As of 30 June 2014, this portfolio included student loan auction rate securities, collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations, some of which have credit default swap protection purchased from monoline insurers, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities and reference-linked note programs.

In the first half of 2014, 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 21: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book” for an overview of our originating and sponsoring activities in the first half of 2014 and in full year 2013, respectively.

Securitization and re-securitization 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. Included in the trading book are positions in our correlation book and legacy positions in leveraged super senior tranches. In the trading book, securitization and re-securitization positions are measured at fair value reflecting market prices where available or are based on our internal pricing models.

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 of this include limited liability corporations, common law trusts and depositor entities.

We manage or advise significant groups of affiliated entities that invest in exposures we have securitized or in structured entities that we sponsor. Significant groups of affiliated entities include North Street, Brooklands / ELM, and East Street, which are involved in the US, European and Asia Pacific reference-linked note programs, respectively.

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

The banking book securitization and re-securitization 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 re-securitization positions are also subject to multiple risk limits in our Investment Bank, such as management VaR and stress limits as well as market value limits. As part of managing risks within the 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 trading book we apply the ratings-based approach to securitization positions using ratings, if available, from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings for all securitization and re-securitization 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 that the credit assessment by one ECAI is applied for 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 abovementioned rating

 

 

31


Table of Contents

 

 

 

agencies have issued a rating for a particular position, we would apply the lower credit rating of the two. If all three rating agencies have issued a rating for a particular position, we would apply the middle credit rating of the three. Under the ratings-based approach, the amount of capital required for securitization and re-securitization 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.

The supervisory formula approach is applied to synthetic securitizations of portfolios of counterparty credit risk inherent in over-the-counter 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 “Financial information” section of our Annual Report 2013 for information on accounting policies that relate to securitization activities, primarily “Note 1a) 3) Subsidiaries and structured entities” and “Note 1a) 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

On 18 December 2008, 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 published the “Industry good practice guidelines on Pillar 3 disclosure requirement for securitization.” These guidelines were slightly revised in 2009 and 2010, and this report complies with that publication in all material respects.

Securitization exposures in the banking and trading book

Tables 21 and 22 outline the exposures measured as the transaction size we securitized at inception in the banking and trading book in the first half of 2014 and in full year 2013. 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 have no 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. As a result, as of 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013, amounts of CHF 0.6 billion and CHF 2.5 billion, respectively, were included in “Table 21: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book” under both Originator and Sponsor and “Table 23: Outstanding securitized exposures.”

1  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, without any impact to our risk-weighted assets or capital. On this basis, we did not conduct any securitization activity in both 2013 and 2014.

Table 23: Outstanding securitized exposures

 

 

This table outlines exposures measured as the outstanding transaction size in 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 2014 and in full year 2013 in which we retained / purchased positions. These can also be found in “Table 21: Securitization activity for the period in the banking book” and “Table 22: Securitization activity for the period in the trading 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  As per FINMA Circular “Market Risk – Banks,” only the higher of the net long or the net short securitization positions in the trading book were to be underpinned for regulatory capital purposes until 31 December 2013. As of 1 January 2014, both net long and net short positions require capital underpinning.    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, without any impact to our risk-weighted assets or capital.

Table 24: 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.

Table 25: Exposures intended to be securitized in the banking and trading book

 

This table provides the amount of exposures by exposure type we intend to securitize in the banking and trading book. 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 at the balance sheet date or if a pricing of a transaction has been fixed.

Table 27: Securitization positions retained or purchased in the trading book

 

This table provides a breakdown of securitization positions we purchased or retained in the trading book subject to the securitization framework for specific market risk, irrespective of our role in the securitization transaction. Gross long and gross short amounts reflect the positions prior to the eligible offsetting of cash and derivative positions. Net long and net short amounts

are the result of offsetting cash and derivative positions to the extent eligible under Basel III. The amounts disclosed are either the fair value or, in the case of derivative positions, the aggregate of the notional amount and the associated replacement value at the balance sheet date.

Table 28a: Capital requirement for securitization / re-securitization positions retained or purchased in the banking book

 

The table below provides the capital requirements for securitization and re-securitization positions we purchased or retained in the banking book, irrespective of our role in the securitization transaction, split by risk weight bands and regulatory capital approach. We use three FINMA-recognized ECAI for this

purpose: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, 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.

Securitization exposures to be deducted from Basel III tier 1 capital

 

In the first half of 2014 and in full year 2013, we have not retained any significant exposures relating to securitization for which we have recorded gains on sale.

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

 

In the first half of 2014 and in full year 2013, we had no securitization structures in the banking and trading book that are subject to early amortization treatment.

Table 29: Re-securitization positions retained or purchased in the banking book

 

The table below shows the total of re-securitization positions (cash as well as synthetic) held in the banking book, broken down into positions for which credit risk mitigation has been recognized and those for which no credit risk mitigation has been recognized. Credit risk mitigation includes protection bought by entering into credit derivatives with third-party protection sellers, as well as financial collateral received. Both

bought credit protection and financial collateral must be eligible under Basel III regulations. In the first half of 2014 and in full year 2013, no credit risk mitigation has been recognized for re-securitization positions (cash as well as synthetic) held in the banking book. As of 30 June 2014, none of the retained or purchased banking book re-securitization positions had an integrated insurance wrapper.

Table 32: 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, replacement values and notional values for derivative positions. Derivatives are split by positive replacement value and negative replacement value. The increase in notional values related to negative replacement values was mainly a result of the execution

of a series of risk transfers to exit the majority of the correlation trading portfolio market risk, which involved entering into a large number of back-to-back trades. This was partly offset by the de-recognition of a significant portion of these trades from our balance sheet through subsequent novations to third parties. Notional values related to positive replacement values fell as the temporary increase from the exit of the majority of the correlation trading portfolio was more than offset by the positive impact from related novations, as well as earlier trade unwinds and trade compressions.

Table 33a: Securitization positions and capital requirement for trading book positions subject to the securitization framework

 

This table outlines securitization positions we purchased or retained and the capital charge in the trading book subject to the securitization framework for specific market risk, irrespective of our role in the securitization transaction, broken down by risk

weight bands and regulatory capital approach. The amounts disclosed for securitization positions are market values at the balance sheet date after eligible netting under Basel III.

As of 1 January 2014, both net long and net short positions require capital underpinning. The amount disclosed under net short is for information only, i.e., a 0% risk-weight was applied.    2  Leveraged super senior tranches (subject to the securitization framework) are not included in this table, but disclosed in “Table 32: Correlation products subject to the comprehensive risk measure or the securitization framework for specific risk”.    3  The capital requirement of CHF 214 million as of 30 June 2014 disclosed in “Table 2: Detailed segmentation of Basel III exposures and risk-weighted assets” in line “Securitization / re-securitization in the trading book” is comprised of the total ratings-based approach charge of CHF 180 million and a CHF 34 million capital requirement of leveraged super senior tranches as disclosed in “Table 34: Capital requirement for securitization positions related to correlation products.”

Table 34: Capital requirement for securitization positions related to correlation products

 

This table outlines the capital requirement for securitization positions in the trading book for correlation products, including positions subject to comprehensive risk measure and positions related to leveraged super senior positions and certain re-securitized corporate credit exposures positions subject to the securitization framework. Our model does not distinguish

between “default risk,” “migration risk” and “correlation risk.” The capital requirement for positions subject to the comprehensive risk measure declined due to the execution of a series of risk transfers to exit the majority of the correlation trading portfolio market risk.

Composition of capital

 

BIS and FINMA require banks to publish their capital positions according to common templates with the objective of mitigating the risk of inconsistent disclosure formats undermining market participants’ ability to compare capital adequacy of banks across jurisdictions. The following tables provide the required information. In addition to these disclosures, an overview of the main features of our regulatory capital instruments,

as well as the full terms and conditions, are published in the “Bondholder information” section of our Investor Relations website.
