Introduction and basis for preparation

Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) Basel III capital adequacy framework consists of three complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring minimum capital requirements for the credit, market, operational and non-counterparty-related risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the need for a qualitative approach to supervising banks. Pillar 3 requires banks to publish a range of disclosures, mainly covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.

This report provides Pillar 3 disclosures for the UBS Group and prudential key figures and regulatory information for UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated in the respective sections under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups.”

This Pillar 3 Report has been prepared in accordance with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) Pillar 3 disclosure requirements (FINMA Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks”) as revised on 8 December 2021, the underlying BCBS guidance “Revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in January 2015, the “Frequently asked questions on the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” issued in August 2016, the “Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – consolidated and enhanced framework” issued in March 2017 and the subsequent “Technical Amendment – Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – regulatory treatment of accounting provisions” issued in August 2018.

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

    Refer to the “Capital management” section of our third quarter 2022 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about capital and other regulatory information as of 30 September 2022 for UBS Group AG consolidated, and to the “Capital management” section of the UBS AG third quarter 2022 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about capital and other regulatory information for UBS AG consolidated

Local regulators may also require the publication of Pillar 3 information at a subsidiary or sub-group level. Where applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Holding company and significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups” at ubs.com/investors

Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes to be adopted after this quarter

Revision of the Swiss liquidity requirements

The revision of the Swiss Liquidity Ordinance became effective on 1 July 2022. The changes increase the regulatory minimum liquidity requirements for systemically important banks, including UBS, from 1 January 2024. The specific increase for UBS remains uncertain pending supervisory guidance from FINMA. Related new and revised regulatory reporting requirements have become effective from the fourth quarter of 2022 onward.

Amendment of the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance regarding the final implementation of Basel III

In July 2022, the Swiss Federal Department of Finance launched a consultation on amending the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance with the aim of implementing the final elements of the BCBS reforms (Basel III) in Swiss law. In parallel, FINMA has opened a consultation on the associated implementing circulars.

The consultations will last until 25 October 2022. The Swiss Federal Council’s Capital Adequacy Ordinance and the associated FINMA ordinances are scheduled to enter into force on 1 July 2024, with the phasing in of certain elements until 2028.

Other developments effective in this quarter

Update on 2022 capital returns

We have adjusted our accrual for the 2022 ordinary dividend from USD 0.51 to USD 0.55 per share, which represents an increase of 10% compared with the previous year. The Board intends to propose the dividend for approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held in April 2023.

We expect share repurchases to be approximately USD 5.5bn for 2022. We will provide guidance on next year’s capital return at the fourth quarter earnings presentation and expect to continue to have share repurchases and a progressive dividend.

    Refer to the “Share information and earnings per share” section of our third quarter 2022 report, available under “Quarterly reporting” at ubs.com/investors, for more information

Wealthfront

In August 2022, UBS and Wealthfront mutually agreed to terminate their merger agreement, under which Wealthfront was to be acquired by UBS Americas Inc. In the third quarter of 2022, UBS purchased a USD 69.7m note convertible into Wealthfront shares.

Sale of UBS Swiss Financial Advisers AG

In the third quarter of 2022, we completed the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary UBS Swiss Financial Advisers AG (SFA) to Vontobel, as announced in December 2021. We will continue to refer US clients that want to have discretionary portfolio management or investment advisory services booked in Switzerland to Vontobel SFA. Upon completion of the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of USD 86m in Global Wealth Management.

Sale of our domestic wealth management business in Spain

We completed the sale of our domestic wealth management business in Spain to Singular Bank in the third quarter of 2022. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of USD 133m in Global Wealth Management.

Material model updates

In the third quarter of 2022, we updated the probability-of-default (PD) and loss-given-default (LGD) models for certain Lombard clients, which resulted in an RWA increase of USD 0.6bn. Further, we updated the PD model for owner-occupied residential properties, which resulted in an additional RWA increase of USD 0.6bn.

Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures

FINMA has specified the reporting frequency for each disclosure, as outlined in the “Introduction and basis for preparation” section of our 31 December 2021 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors

In line with the FINMA-specified disclosure frequency and requirements for disclosure with regard to comparative periods, we provide quantitative comparative information as of 30 June 2022 for disclosures required on a quarterly basis. Where specifically required by FINMA and / or the BCBS, we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates.

    Refer to our 30 June 2022 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors, for more information about previously published quarterly movement commentary

Key metrics

Key metrics of the third quarter of 2022

The KM1 and KM2 tables on the following pages are based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules. The KM2 table includes a reference to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) term sheet, published by the Financial Stability Board (the FSB). The FSB provides this term sheet at fsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-term-sheet

Our capital and leverage ratios increased, primarily reflecting decreases in risk-weighted assets and in the leverage ratio denominator. Our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 0.1bn to USD 44.7bn, mainly as operating profit before tax of USD 2.3bn was more than offset by share repurchases of USD 1.0bn, negative effects from foreign currency translation of USD 0.6bn, dividend accruals of USD 0.4bn and current tax expenses of USD 0.4bn.

Our tier 1 capital decreased by USD 0.5bn to USD 59.4bn, reflecting a decrease in our additional tier 1 (AT1) capital of USD 0.4bn, mainly reflecting interest rate risk hedges, foreign currency translation and other effects, as well as the aforementioned decrease in our CET1 capital.

The TLAC available as of 30 September 2022 included CET1 capital, AT1 and tier 2 capital instruments eligible under the TLAC framework, and non-regulatory capital elements of TLAC. Under the Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) framework, including transitional arrangements, TLAC excludes 45% of the gross unrealized gains on debt instruments measured at FVOCI for accounting purposes, which for regulatory capital purposes are measured at the lower of cost or market value. This amount was negligible as of 30 September 2022 but is included as available TLAC in the KM2 table in this section.

Our available TLAC decreased by USD 1.5bn to USD 104.7bn, mainly reflecting a USD 0.9bn decrease in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt and the aforementioned decrease in our tier 1 capital. The decrease of USD 0.9bn in TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt was mainly due to two calls of TLAC-eligible unsecured debt denominated in US dollars amounting to USD 3.3bn and interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects, partly offset by eight new issuances of TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt, denominated in US dollars, euro and yen, amounting to USD 5.3bn equivalent.

Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 5.1bn to USD 310.6bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 2.9bn in market risk and of USD 2.2bn in credit risk RWA. The overall decrease of USD 5.1bn included a decrease of USD 5.1bn related to currency effects.

Leverage ratio exposure decreased by USD 35.6bn to USD 989.8bn, including currency effects of USD 25.8bn, driven by lower central bank balances, trading portfolio and lending assets, partly offset by an increase in securities financing transactions and purchases of high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) securities.

In the third quarter of 2022, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS Group increased 1.8 percentage points to 162.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The movement in the average LCR was driven by a reduction in net cash outflows of USD 7.3bn to USD 147.8bn, mainly due to lower outflows from customer deposits. This was largely offset by a decrease in high-quality liquid assets of USD 8.9bn to USD 240.4bn, mainly driven by debt maturities and decreases in customer deposits, partly offset by lower funding consumption from the business divisions

As of 30 September 2022, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS Group decreased 0.6 percentage points to 120.4%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by USD 18.0bn lower available stable funding, predominantly due to decreases in customer deposits and debt maturities. Required stable funding decreased by USD 12.8bn, mainly driven by lower trading assets and loans to customers, partly offset by higher derivative and margin balances.

Risk-weighted assets

Overview of RWA and capital requirements

The OV1 table on the following page provides an overview of our risk-weighted assets (RWA) and related minimum capital requirements by risk type. The table presented is based on the respective Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.

During the third quarter of 2022, our RWA decreased by USD 5.1bn to USD 310.6bn, mainly driven by decreases of USD 2.9bn in market risk and of USD 2.2bn in credit risk RWA.

Market risk RWA decreased by USD 2.9bn, mainly due to a USD 3.7bn decrease in asset size and other movements in the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business. This was partly offset by an increase of USD 0.6bn in regulatory add-ons that reflected updates from the monthly risks-not-in-VaR assessment and an increase of USD 0.2bn related to ongoing parameter updates of our VaR model.

Credit risk RWA decreased by USD 2.2bn, driven by a decrease of USD 3.6bn related to currency effects, partly offset by an increase of USD 1.3bn related to model updates. Asset size and other movements were unchanged, mainly as lower loans and loan commitments in the Investment Bank were offset by higher loan balances that are risk-weighted under the standardized approach, as well as higher loan and other commitments in Global Wealth Management. Model updates increased by USD 1.3bn, due to updates to probability-of-default (PD) and loss-given-default (LGD) models for certain Lombard clients, as well as due to an update to the PD model for owner-occupied residential properties.

The flow tables for credit risk, counterparty credit risk and market risk RWA in the respective sections of this report provide further details regarding the movements in RWA in the third quarter of 2022.

1 Calculated based on 8% of RWA.    2 Excludes settlement risk, which is separately reported in line 15 “Settlement risk.” Includes RWA with central counterparties. The split between the sub-components of counterparty credit risk refers to the calculation of the exposure measure.    3 Not applicable until the implementation of the final rules on the minimum capital requirements for market risk (the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book).    4 Includes items subject to threshold deduction treatment that do not exceed their respective threshold and are risk-weighted at 250%. Items subject to threshold deduction treatment include significant investments in common shares of non-consolidated financial institutions (banks, insurance and other financial entities) and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences.    5 No floor effect, as 80% of our Basel I RWA, including the RWA equivalent of the Basel I capital deductions, does not exceed our Basel III RWA, including the RWA equivalent of the Basel III capital deductions.

  

RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB

The CR8 table on the following page provides a breakdown of the credit risk (CCR) RWA movements in the third quarter of 2022 across movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS). These categories are described in the “Credit risk” section of our 31 December 2021 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors

Credit risk RWA under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach decreased by USD 3.5bn to USD 116.2bn during the third quarter of 2022.

The RWA decrease from asset size movements of USD 2.4bn was predominantly driven by lower loans and loan commitments in the Investment Bank and, to a lesser extent, by an RWA reduction related to nostro balances in Group Functions.

The USD 0.9bn decrease in RWA from asset quality was mainly driven by a slight improvement in the risk profile of our Personal & Corporate Banking business.

Model updates of USD 1.3bn reflected updates to PD and LGD models for certain Lombard clients in our Global Wealth Management business, as well as an update to the PD model for owner-occupied residential properties.

RWA from acquisitions and disposals increased by USD 1.2bn, mainly due to higher commitments related to the disposal of a business.

RWA flow statements of counterparty credit risk exposures under the IMM and VaR

The CCR7 table below presents a flow statement explaining changes in counterparty credit risk RWA determined under the internal model method (IMM) for derivatives and the value-at-risk (VaR) approach for securities financing transactions (SFTs).

CCR RWA on derivatives under the IMM increased by USD 0.8bn to USD 18.6bn during the third quarter of 2022. The RWA increase from asset size movements was primarily due to market-driven movements on foreign currency and interest rate contracts in the Investment Bank. Model updates resulted in an increase of USD 0.4bn, due to various smaller updates across derivative models, and asset quality increased slightly by USD 0.2bn in the Investment Bank. These increases were partly offset by a decrease of USD 0.7bn related to currency effects.

CCR RWA on SFTs under the VaR approach decreased by USD 0.9bn to USD 9.4bn during the third quarter of 2022. The RWA decrease from asset size movements was primarily driven by the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business.

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an internal models approach

The three main components that contribute to market risk RWA are VaR, stressed VaR (SVaR) and incremental risk charge (IRC). The VaR and SVaR components include the RWA charge for risks not in VaR (RniV).

The MR2 table below provides a breakdown of the movement in market risk RWA in the third quarter of 2022 under an internal models approach across those components, pursuant to the movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. These categories are described in the “Market risk” section of our 31 December 2021 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at ubs.com/investors.  

Market risk RWA under an internal models approach decreased by USD 2.8bn to USD 12.1bn in the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to a decrease in asset size and other movements in the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business. This was partly offset by an increase in regulatory add-ons that reflected updates from the monthly RniV assessment and an increase related to ongoing parameter updates of our VaR model. We are in discussions with FINMA regarding the integration of time decay into the regulatory VaR, which would replace the current add-on.

The FINMA VaR multiplier derived from backtesting exceptions for market risk RWA was unchanged compared with the prior quarter, at 3.0.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.44% for RWA and 0.50% for LRD.    2 Our minimum CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.5% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.25% market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business.    3 Includes outstanding low-trigger loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments, which are available under the Swiss SRB framework to meet the going concern requirements until their first call date. As of their first call date, these instruments are eligible to meet the gone concern requirements.    4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital.    5 The gone concern requirement after the application of the rebate for resolvability measures and the reduction for the use of higher quality capital instruments is floored at 10% and 3.75% for the RWA- and LRD-based requirements, respectively. This means that the combined reduction may not exceed 4.3 percentage points for the RWA-based requirement of 14.3% and 1.25 percentage points for the LRD-based requirement of 5.0%.    6 Based on the actions we completed up to December 2021 to improve resolvability, FINMA granted an increase in the rebate on the gone concern requirement from 55.0% to 65.0% of the maximum rebate, effective 1 July 2022, with an effective maximum rebate of 1.25 percentage points for the LRD-based requirements and – given the risk density of 35% underlying the regulatory requirements – an effective maximum rebate of 3.56 percentage points for the RWA-based requirements.

Leverage ratio

Basel III leverage ratio

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) leverage ratio, as summarized in the “KM1: Key metrics“ table in section 2 of this report, is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio denominator (the LRD).

The LRD consists of on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Derivative exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement values and eligible cash variation margin netting, the current exposure method add-on for potential future exposure and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives. The LRD also includes an additional charge for counterparty credit risk related to securities financing transactions (SFTs).

The table below shows the difference between total IFRS assets per IFRS consolidation scope and the BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures. Those exposures are the starting point for calculating the BCBS LRD, as shown in the LR2 table in this section. The difference is due to the application of the regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying amounts for derivative financial instruments and SFTs are deducted from IFRS total assets. They are measured differently under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the LR2 table.

Difference between the Swiss SRB and BCBS leverage ratio

The LRD is the same under Swiss systemically relevant bank (SRB) and BCBS rules. However, there is a difference in the capital numerator between the two frameworks. Under BCBS rules only common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital are included in the numerator. Under Swiss SRB rules UBS is required to meet going and gone concern leverage ratio requirements. Therefore, depending on the requirement, the numerator includes tier 1 capital instruments, tier 2 capital instruments and / or total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)-eligible senior unsecured debt.

During the third quarter of 2022, the LRD decreased by USD 35.6bn to USD 989.8bn, including currency effects of USD 25.8bn. On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs) decreased by USD 44.3bn, mainly driven by lower central bank balances and trading portfolio assets, as well as a decrease in lending assets, partly offset by purchases of high-quality liquid asset securities. Derivative exposures increased by USD 1.0bn, mainly in the Investment Bank, reflecting market-driven movements amid volatility in interest rates and exchange rates. Securities financing transactions increased by USD 6.0bn, mainly driven by higher collateral sourcing to hedge client positions and brokerage receivables, partly offset by roll-offs of excess cash reinvestment trades. Off-balance sheet items increased by USD 1.6bn, mainly due to higher forward starting reverse repurchase agreements.

Liquidity and funding

Liquidity coverage ratio

We monitor the liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) in all significant currencies in order to manage any currency mismatch between high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) and the net expected cash outflows in times of stress.

High-quality liquid assets

HQLA must be easily and immediately convertible into cash at little or no loss of value, especially during a period of stress. HQLA are assets that are of low risk and are unencumbered. Other characteristics of HQLA are ease and certainty of valuation, low correlation with risky assets, listing of the assets on a developed and recognized exchange, existence of an active and sizable market for the assets, and low volatility. Our HQLA predominantly consist of assets that qualify as Level 1 in the LCR framework, including cash, central bank reserves and government bonds.

LCR development during the third quarter of 2022

In the third quarter of 2022, the quarterly average LCR of UBS Group increased 1.8 percentage points to 162.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

The movement in the average LCR was driven by a reduction in net cash outflows of USD 7.3bn to USD 147.8bn, mainly due to lower outflows from customer deposits. This was largely offset by a decrease in high-quality liquid assets of USD 8.9bn to USD 240.4bn, mainly driven by debt maturities and decreases in customer deposits, partly offset by lower funding consumption from the business divisions.

Introduction

Scope of disclosures in this section

The sections on the following pages include capital and other regulatory information as of 30 September 2022 for UBS AG standalone, UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe SE consolidated and UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated. Capital information in the following sections is based on Pillar 1 capital requirements. Entities may be subject to significant additional Pillar 2 requirements, which represent additional amounts of capital considered necessary and are agreed with regulators based on the risk profile of the respective entity.

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated

Stress capital buffer in the US

Following the completion of the annual Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) and the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), UBS Americas Holding LLC was assigned a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 4.8% (previously 7.1%) under the SCB rule as of 1 October 2022, resulting in a total common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital requirement of 9.3%.

Key metrics of the third quarter of 2022

The table on the following page is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.

During the third quarter of 2022, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by USD 0.7bn to USD 53.5bn, mainly as operating profit before tax was more than offset by additional accruals for capital returns to UBS Group AG. Tier 1 capital decreased by USD 1.0bn to USD 67.1bn, primarily driven by the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital and a USD 0.4bn decrease in additional tier 1 capital, mainly driven by interest rate risk hedge and foreign currency translation effects. Total capital decreased by USD 1.0bn to USD 67.6bn, mainly reflecting the aforementioned decrease in tier 1 capital.

Phase-in risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by USD 4.5bn to USD 323.4bn during the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by decreases in market risk, participations, and credit and counterparty credit risk RWA.

Leverage ratio exposure decreased by USD 16.6bn to USD 553.2bn, mainly driven by lower trading portfolio assets and central bank balances, partly offset by purchases of high-quality liquid asset securities and an increase in securities financing transactions.

Correspondingly, the CET1 capital ratio of UBS AG remained largely stable at 16.5%, reflecting the decrease in RWA, largely offset by the decrease in CET1 capital. The firm’s Basel III leverage ratio increased to 12.1% from 12.0%, reflecting the lower leverage ratio exposure, partly offset by the decrease in tier 1 capital.

In the third quarter of 2022, the quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG increased 0.9 percentage points to 190.2%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The increase in average high-quality liquid assets of USD 1.1bn to USD 105.8bn was mainly driven by lower funding consumption from the business divisions, partly offset by debt maturities. Average net cash outflows increased by USD 0.4bn to USD 55.8bn.

As of 30 September 2022, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS AG decreased 0.5 percentage points to 91.7%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by a decrease in available stable funding of USD 3.3bn to USD 241.5bn, mainly due to debt maturities. Required stable funding decreased by USD 2.3bn to USD 263.3bn, mainly driven by lower trading assets, partly offset by higher derivative and margin balances.

Key metrics of the third quarter of 2022

The table on the following page is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

During the third quarter of 2022, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital decreased by CHF 0.2bn to CHF 12.5bn, as operating profit was more than offset by additional accruals for dividends.

Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by CHF 1.8bn to CHF 109.2bn, primarily due to an increase of CHF 1.7bn in pre-floor RWA, mainly due to higher RWA from residential mortgages and derivatives. The floor adjustment increased slightly by CHF 0.1bn

Leverage ratio exposure decreased by CHF 6.2bn to CHF 334.8bn, mainly driven by lower central bank balances, partly offset by increases in residential mortgages and corporate loans.

The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS Switzerland AG decreased 0.3 percentage points to 141.2%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The average LCR decrease was driven by a reduction in high-quality liquid assets of CHF 4.6bn to CHF 89.0bn, mainly due to lower customer deposits, partly offset by lower net cash outflows of CHF 3.2bn to CHF 63.1bn due to lower customer deposits.

As of 30 September 2022, the net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS Switzerland AG decreased 3.0 percentage points to 141.1%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by FINMA. The movement in the NSFR was driven by an increase in required stable funding of CHF 2.6bn to CHF 158.9bn, mainly due to higher loans to customers, and a decrease in available stable funding of CHF 1.0bn to CHF 224.1bn, mainly due to lower customer deposits.

Swiss SRB going and gone concern requirements and information

UBS Switzerland AG is considered a systemically relevant bank (an SRB) under Swiss banking law and is subject to capital regulations on a standalone basis. As of 30 September 2022, the going concern capital and leverage ratio requirements for UBS Switzerland AG standalone were 15.05% (including a countercyclical buffer of 0.75%, which increased by 74 basis points on 30 September 2022 due to the reactivation of the Swiss countercyclical capital buffer at a maximum level of 2.5% on risk-weighted positions that are directly or indirectly backed by residential properties in Switzerland) and 5.00%, respectively. 

The Swiss SRB framework and requirements applicable to UBS Switzerland AG standalone are the same as those applicable to UBS Group AG consolidated, with the exception of a lower gone concern requirement, corresponding to 62% of the Group’s gone concern requirement (before applicable reductions).  

The gone concern requirements were 8.87% for the RWA-based requirement and 3.10% for the leverage ratio denominator-based requirement.

UBS Europe SE consolidated

The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity of UBS Europe SE consolidated based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance with EU regulatory rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

During the third quarter of 2022, common equity tier 1 was stable at EUR 2.4bn and total capital remained stable at EUR 3.0bn. Risk-weighted assets increased by EUR 0.6bn to EUR 12.0bn, mainly driven by an increase in credit risk that was driven by over-the-counter derivatives and partially offset by the sale of the domestic wealth management business in Spain. Leverage ratio exposure increased by EUR 4.4bn to EUR 51.7bn, mainly reflecting an increase in derivatives and cash with central banks.

The average liquidity coverage ratio was broadly stable at 166.2%, with a EUR 1.0bn increase in high-quality liquid assets offset by a EUR 0.6bn increase in total net cash outflows. The net stable funding ratio was broadly stable at 151.1% (compared with 148.3% in the second quarter of 2022), with a EUR 0.2bn increase in funding surplus.

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated

The table below provides information about the regulatory capital components, capital ratios, leverage ratio and liquidity of UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated, based on Pillar 1 requirements and in accordance with US Basel III rules and US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Effective 1 October 2022, and through 30 September 2023, UBS Americas Holding LLC is subject to a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 4.8%, in addition to the minimum capital requirements. The SCB was determined by the Federal Reserve Board following the completion of the 2022 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (the CCAR) based on Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends. The SCB, which replaces the static capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, is subject to change on an annual basis or as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

During the third quarter of 2022, common equity tier 1 increased by USD 0.1bn, primarily due to operating profit, partially offset by the payment of a dividend to UBS AG. Risk-weighted assets decreased by USD 1.6bn to USD 73.0bn, driven by decreases in market and credit risk. Leverage ratio exposure, calculated on an average basis, decreased by USD 6.6bn to USD 191.7bn, primarily due to decreased cash at Federal Reserve Banks.

The average liquidity coverage ratio decreased 4.1 percentage points, driven by a USD 3.8bn decrease in high-quality liquid assets, predominantly due to lower central bank reserve balances.
