Note 22
 
Restricted and transferred financial
 
assets
This Note
 
provides
 
information about
 
restricted financial
 
assets (Note
 
22a),
 
transfers of
 
financial assets
 
(Note
 
22b
 
and
22c) and financial assets that are
 
received as collateral with the right
 
to resell or repledge
 
these assets (Note 22d).
 
a) Restricted financial assets
Restricted
 
financial assets
 
consist
 
of
 
assets
 
pledged
 
as collateral
 
against
 
an
 
existing
 
liability or
 
contingent
 
liability and
other assets that are otherwise explicitly
 
restricted such that they cannot
 
be used to secure funding.
 
Financial
 
assets
 
are
 
mainly
 
pledged
 
as
 
collateral
 
in
 
securities
 
lending
 
transactions,
 
in
 
repurchase
 
transactions,
 
against
loans from Swiss mortgage institutions and
 
in connection with the
 
issuance of covered bonds. The
 
Group generally enters
into repurchase and securities lending
 
arrangements under standard market agreements. For securities lending,
 
the cash
received as
 
collateral may
 
be more
 
or less
 
than the
 
fair value
 
of the
 
securities loaned,
 
depending on
 
the nature
 
of the
transaction.
 
For repurchase agreements, the fair
 
value of the
 
collateral sold under an
 
agreement to repurchase is
 
generally
in excess
 
of
 
the cash
 
borrowed.
 
Pledged
 
mortgage loans
 
serve as
 
collateral
 
for existing
 
liabilities against
 
Swiss
 
central
mortgage institutions
 
and for
 
existing covered
 
bond
 
issuances of
 
USD
8,962
m as of
 
31 December
 
2022
 
(31 December
2021: USD
10,843
m).
Other restricted financial assets
 
include assets protected under client
 
asset segregation rules, assets held
 
under unit-linked
investment contracts to back related liabilities to the policy holders and
 
assets held in certain jurisdictions to comply with
explicit minimum local asset maintenance requirements. The carrying amount of
 
the liabilities associated with these
 
other
restricted financial
 
assets
 
is generally
 
equal
 
to the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of the
 
assets, with
 
the exception
 
of assets
 
held
 
to
comply with local asset maintenance requirements,
 
for which the associated liabilities
 
are greater.

In addition to restrictions on financial
 
assets, UBS Group AG and its subsidiaries are, in certain cases,
 
subject to regulatory
requirements
 
that
 
affect
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
dividends
 
and
 
capital
 
within
 
the
 
Group,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
intercompany
 
lending.
Supervisory authorities
 
also may
 
require entities
 
to measure
 
capital and
 
leverage ratios
 
on a
 
stressed basis,
 
such as
 
the
Federal
 
Reserve
 
Board’s
 
Comprehensive
 
Capital
 
Analysis
 
and
 
Review
 
(CCAR)
 
process,
 
which
 
may
 
limit
 
the
 
relevant
subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions
 
of capital based on the results
 
of those tests.
Supervisory
 
authorities
 
generally
 
have
 
discretion
 
to
 
impose
 
higher
 
requirements
 
or
 
to
 
otherwise
 
limit
 
the
 
activities
 
of
subsidiaries.
 
Non-regulated subsidiaries
 
are generally not subject to such
 
requirements and transfer
 
restrictions. However,
 
restrictions
can
 
also
 
be
 
the
 
result
 
of
 
different
 
legal,
 
regulatory,
 
contractual,
 
entity-
 
or
 
country-specific
 
arrangements
 
and
 
/
 
or
requirements.
