Operating and financial review and prospects
Except where noted, the business of the Bank is substantially the same as the business of the Group, and substantially all of the Bank’s operations are conducted through the Swiss Universal Bank, International Wealth Management, Asia Pacific, Global Markets, Investment Banking & Capital Markets and the Strategic Resolution Unit segments. These segment results are included in Core Results, except for the Strategic Resolution Unit, which is part of the Credit Suisse Results. Certain other assets, liabilities and results of operations are managed as part of the activities of the six segments. However, since they are legally owned by the Group, they are not included in the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. These relate principally to the activities of Neue Aargauer Bank and BANK-now, which are managed as part of Swiss Universal Bank, financing vehicles of the Group and hedging activities relating to share-based compensation awards. Core Results also includes certain Corporate Center activities of the Group that are not applicable to the Bank.
These operations and activities vary from period to period and give rise to differences between the Bank’s consolidated assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including pensions and taxes, and those of the Group.
Differences between the Group and the Bank businesses
Entity Principal business activity
Neue Aargauer Bank Banking (in the Swiss canton of Aargau)
BANK-now Private credit and car leasing (in Switzerland)
Financing vehicles of the Group Special purpose vehicles for various funding activities of the Group, including for purposes of raising consolidated capital
