Off-balance sheet items

UBS Switzerland AG is jointly and severally liable for the combined value-added tax (VAT) liability of UBS entities that belong to the VAT group of UBS in Switzerland. This contingent liability is not included in the table above.

Swiss deposit insurance

Swiss banking law and the deposit insurance system require Swiss banks and securities dealers to jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF 6 billion for privileged client deposits in the event that a Swiss bank or securities dealer becomes insolvent. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) estimates the share of UBS Switzerland AG from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 to be CHF 896 million, which is reflected in the table above.

Joint and several liability

In June 2015, the Personal & Corporate Banking and Wealth Management businesses booked in Switzerland were transferred from UBS AG to UBS Switzerland AG through an asset transfer in accordance with the Swiss Merger Act. Under the Swiss Merger Act, UBS AG assumed joint liability for obligations existing on the asset transfer date, i.e., 14 June 2015, that were transferred to UBS Switzerland AG.

Similarly, under the terms of the asset transfer agreement, UBS Switzerland AG assumed joint liability for approximately CHF 325 billion of contractual obligations of UBS AG existing on the asset transfer date, excluding the collateralized portion of secured contractual obligations and covered bonds. UBS Switzerland AG has no liability for new obligations incurred by UBS AG after the asset transfer date. The joint liability amount declines as obligations mature, terminate or are novated following the asset transfer date.

As of 31 December 2021, the joint liability of UBS Switzerland AG for contractual obligations of UBS AG amounted to CHF 5 billion, compared with CHF 9 billion as of 31 December 2020. Under certain circumstances, the Swiss Banking Act and the Bank Insolvency Ordinance of FINMA authorize FINMA to modify, extinguish or convert to common equity liabilities of a bank in connection with a resolution or insolvency of such bank. As of 31 December 2021, the probability of an outflow under this joint and several liability was assessed to be remote, and as a result, the table above does not include any exposures arising under this joint and several liability.

Note 2  Accounting policies (continued) 

Group-internal funding

UBS Switzerland AG obtains funding from UBS AG in the form of loans that qualify as going concern additional tier 1 capital and as gone concern loss-absorbing capacity at the UBS Switzerland AG standalone level.

Where such Group-internal funding is eligible to meet the requirements for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) at the level of UBS Switzerland AG, the aggregate amount of the respective obligations is separately disclosed on the balance sheet. For those TLAC instruments that are eligible to meet the going concern capital requirements (i.e., are subordinated and subject to mandatory conversion and / or debt waiver, as explained below), the aggregate corresponding amounts are disclosed on the balance sheet.

Obligations of UBS Switzerland AG arising from Group-internal funding it has received are presented as Due to banks and measured at amortized cost.

Subordinated assets and liabilities

Subordinated assets are comprised of claims that, based on an irrevocable written declaration, in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or composition concerning the debtor, rank after the claims of all other creditors and may not be offset against amounts payable to the debtor nor be secured by its assets. Subordinated liabilities are comprised of corresponding obligations.

Subordinated assets and liabilities that contain a point-of-non-viability clause in accordance with Swiss capital requirements pursuant to Art. 29 and 30 of the Capital Adequacy Ordinance are disclosed as being Subject to mandatory conversion and / or debt waiver and provide for the claim or the obligation to be written off or converted into equity in the event that the issuing bank reaches a point of non-viability.

Services received from and provided to Group entities

UBS Switzerland AG receives services from UBS Business Solutions AG, the main Group service company, mainly relating to Group Technology, Group Operations and Group Corporate Services, as well as certain other services from other Group entities. UBS Switzerland AG provides services to Group entities mainly relating to the distribution of security and investment products. Services received from and provided to Group entities are settled in cash as hard cost transfers or hard revenue transfers paid or received.

When the nature of the underlying transaction between UBS Switzerland AG and the Group entity contains a single, clearly identifiable service element, related income and expenses are presented in the respective income statement line item, e.g., Fee and commission income from securities and investment business, Other fee and commission income, Fee and commission expense, Net trading income or  General and administrative expenses. To the extent the nature of the underlying transaction contains various service elements and is not clearly attributable to a particular income statement line item, related income and expenses are presented in Sundry ordinary income and Sundry ordinary expenses.

›Refer to Note 5 for more information

Post-employment benefit plans

Swiss GAAP permits the use of IFRS or Swiss accounting standards for post-employment benefit plans, with the election made on a plan-by-plan basis.

UBS Switzerland AG has elected to apply Swiss GAAP (FER 16) for its pension plan. The requirements of Swiss GAAP are better aligned with the specific nature of Swiss pension plans, which are hybrid in that they combine elements of defined contribution and defined benefit plans but are treated as defined benefit plans under IFRS. Swiss GAAP requires that the employer contributions to the pension fund are recognized as Personnel expenses in the income statement. The employer contributions to the Swiss pension fund are determined as a percentage of contributory compensation. Furthermore, Swiss GAAP requires an assessment as to whether, based on the financial statements of the pension fund prepared in accordance with Swiss accounting standards (FER 26), an economic benefit to, or obligation of, UBS Switzerland AG arises from the pension fund and is recognized in the balance sheet when conditions are met. Conditions for recording a pension asset or liability would be met if, for example, an employer contribution reserve is available or UBS Switzerland AG is required to contribute to the reduction of a pension deficit (on an FER 26 basis).

›Refer to Note 25 for more information

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are not recognized in UBS Switzerland AG’s standalone financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities may be recognized for taxable temporary differences. Changes in the deferred tax liability balance are recognized in the income statement.

Note 2  Accounting policies (continued) 

Allowances and provisions for expected credit losses

UBS Switzerland AG is required to apply an expected credit loss (ECL) approach for non-impaired financial instruments in its standalone financial statements in addition to the approach for impaired financial instruments. UBS Switzerland AG early adopted the new ECL requirements as of 31 December 2020.

For the substantial majority of non-impaired exposures in scope of the Swiss GAAP ECL requirements, UBS Switzerland AG has chosen to apply the IFRS ECL approach that is applied in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements for its standalone financial statements. These exposures include all financial assets measured at amortized cost under both Swiss GAAP and IFRS, fee and lease receivables, guarantees, irrevocable loan commitments, revolving revocable credit lines and forward starting reverse repurchase and securities borrowing agreements. Further information on the ECL approach under IFRS is provided in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of UBS Group AG.

UBS applies a single definition of default for credit risk management purposes, regulatory reporting and ECL, with a counterparty classified as defaulted based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.

›Refer to ‘’Credit policies for distressed assets’’ in the ‘’Risk management and control’’ section of the UBS Group AG Annual Report 2021 for more information

An allowance for credit losses is reported as a decrease in the carrying amount of a financial asset. For an off-balance sheet item, such as a commitment, a provision for credit losses is reported in Provisions. Changes to allowances and provisions for credit losses are recognized in Credit loss (expense) / release. 

›Refer to Note 9 for more information

Dispensations in the standalone financial statements

As UBS Switzerland AG has no listed shares outstanding and is within the scope of the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, UBS Switzerland AG is exempt from various disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The dispensations include the management report and the statement of cash flows. As the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, UBS Switzerland AG provides certain notes disclosures that would otherwise be covered by the disclosure dispensation, i.e., Notes 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23.

b) Changes in accounting policies

There were no significant changes in accounting policies during 2021.

c) Other events affecting comparability

Transfer of Global Wealth Management international business from UBS Switzerland AG to UBS AG

In the fourth quarter of 2020, UBS decided not to proceed with the transfer of a portion of Global Wealth Management business booked in Switzerland from UBS Switzerland AG to UBS AG. As a result of this decision, the beneficial ownership of that business was re-transferred from UBS AG to UBS Switzerland AG with
an effective date of 31 December 2020. The compensation of UBS AG for its share of the profits for the full year 2020 of CHF 352 million is reflected in Fee and commission expense.

Note 21  Country risk of total assets

The table below provides a breakdown of total non-Swiss assets by credit rating. These credit ratings reflect the sovereign credit rating of the country to which the ultimate risk of the underlying asset is related. The ultimate country of risk for unsecured loan positions is the domicile of the immediate borrower or, in the case of a legal entity, the domicile of the ultimate parent entity. For collateralized or guaranteed positions, the ultimate country of risk is the domicile of the provider of the collateral or guarantor or, if applicable, the domicile of the ultimate parent entity of the provider of the collateral or guarantor.

For mortgage loans, the ultimate country of risk is the country where the real estate is located. Similarly, the ultimate country of risk for property and equipment is the country where the property and equipment are located. Assets for which Switzerland is the ultimate country of risk are provided separately in order to reconcile them to total balance sheet assets.

Note 29  Events after the reporting period

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has triggered disruptions and uncertainties in the markets and the global economy, as well as coordinated implementation of sanctions by Switzerland, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and others against Russia, Russian entities and nationals. These events, together with potential counter-sanctions and other measures taken by Russia, impact UBS Switzerland AG’s businesses.

UBS Switzerland AG’s direct country risk exposure to Russia was approximately CHF 0.3 billion across its business divisions as of 31 December 2021. This exposure has been reduced since year-end 2021. In addition, UBS Switzerland AG is currently monitoring settlement risk on certain open transactions with Russian banks and non-bank counterparties or Russian underlyings. As of 3 March 2022, UBS Switzerland AG also had approximately CHF 0.1 billion of indirect exposure arising from reliance on Russian assets as collateral on Lombard lending and other secured financing in Global Wealth Management.

UBS Switzerland AG continues to closely monitor related effects on its financial statements, including estimated direct and indirect impacts on expected credit loss calculations and on fair value measurement of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures. The situation continues to evolve and broader implications for other counterparties of UBS Switzerland AG, including financial institutions, are not possible to assess at this time; however, there were no material adverse effects on UBS Switzerland AG’s financial statements as of 4 March 2022.

Key metrics of the fourth quarter of 2021

Quarterly |The table below is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III rules.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital increased by CHF 0.4 billion to CHF 12.6 billion, mainly reflecting operating profit that was partly offset by additional accruals for dividends. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased by CHF 3.5 billion to CHF 106.4 billion, primarily due to a decrease in the RWA floor adjustment, mainly driven by refined collateral allocation. Leverage ratio exposure increased by CHF 1 billion to CHF 340 billion, mainly driven by higher cash and balances at central banks and lending balances.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of UBS Switzerland AG, which is a Swiss SRB, was 143%, remaining above the prudential requirement communicated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) in connection with the Swiss Emergency Plan. Average high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) decreased by CHF 1.0 billion to CHF 91.3 billion, driven by lower average cash balances due to a net deposit decrease. Average total net cash outflows decreased by CHF 0.4 billion to CHF 64.1 billion. 

As of 31 December 2021, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of UBS Switzerland AG was 142%, remaining above the prudential requirements communicated by FINMA. The available stable funding decreased by CHF 4.4 billion to CHF 225 billion, mainly due to a decrease in customer deposits. Required stable funding increased by CHF 1.2 billion to CHF 158 billion, mainly due to higher lending. p

Climate risk

Annual | Our climate strategy and governance are determined and overseen at Group level. Similarly, we identify and manage climate risks, including climate-related financial risks, in our own operations, balance sheet, client assets and supply chain on Group level.
