Dear shareholders

The strength of our business model is underscored by an underlying* return on equity of 15% for the first half of 2011, despite a disappointing performance in the second quarter. In a difficult quarter, we achieved underlying* income before taxes of CHF 1.2 billion and underlying* return on equity of 10% in 2Q11. Asset Management reported a strong performance in the quarter and Private Banking recorded solid results despite significant market headwinds and maintained its strength in gathering net new assets. Our performance in Investment Banking, however, was below expectations.

We achieved pre-tax income of CHF 1.1 billion, including business realignment costs of CHF 142 million and fair value gains of CHF 41 million on own debt and stand-alone derivatives relating to own funding liabilities. Net income attributable to shareholders was CHF 768 million and core net revenues were CHF 6.3 billion. The strength of the Swiss franc negatively impacted our pre-tax income by CHF 348 million compared to 2Q10. We achieved a return on equity attributable to shareholders of 9.7% and diluted earnings per share of CHF 0.48. Our Basel II tier 1 ratio was 18.2% at the end of 2Q11.

Performance of our businesses

Private Banking delivered pre-tax income of CHF 843 million and attracted net new assets of CHF 11.5 billion in 2Q11. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact of CHF 205 million, pre-tax income in Private Banking increased CHF 174 million or 20%, compared to 2Q10. Wealth Management has seen continued strong growth in net new assets with broad-based inflows from both our Swiss and international businesses. In Switzerland, our Corporate & Institutional Clients business, which is an important provider of financing and services to the Swiss economy, maintained a high level of profitability and recorded low provisions for credit losses as the quality of our loan portfolio remained strong.

Investment Banking reported pre-tax income of CHF 231 million, which includes the negative foreign exchange translation impact of CHF 151 million, and net revenues of CHF 2.8 billion. Equity sales and trading revenues were solid given the weak market environment while fixed income sales and trading results were impacted by challenging trading conditions and moderately lower client flows. Our performance in underwriting and advisory remained solid.

Asset Management reported pre-tax income of CHF 202 million including a negative foreign exchange translation impact of CHF 27 million. Net new assets totaled CHF 4.0 billion in the second quarter. We are pleased with the steady performance of our Asset Management business.

Adjusting our cost base

In order to ensure attractive returns in the face of an uncertain and challenging economic and market environment, we continue to be proactive about seeking cost efficiencies across the firm, while at the same time investing in client-focused businesses. As a result, we are implementing a number of cost efficiency initiatives to achieve CHF 1 billion in cost savings and resulting reductions in the annualized first half 2011 expense run-rate during 2012. The program includes reductions of approximately 4% of total headcount across the Group. The initiatives will involve implementation costs in 2011 of CHF 400 million to CHF 450 million, of which CHF 142 million were recognized in 2Q11. The ability to take concerted actions to achieve efficiencies, while at the same time continuing to grow our assets under management and win market share, is a confirmation of the trust clients place in the strength of our franchise and our capital position. Our reduced cost base will put us in a better position to deliver consistent, industry-leading returns and to capitalize on improvements in the market environment.

Evolving regulatory environment

We are at the forefront in addressing many of the regulatory challenges currently facing the banking industry, including capital, liquidity and compensation. We have already been operating under Basel II.5 standards since the beginning of the year and continue to maintain a leading capital position with a Basel II tier 1 ratio of 18.2%. Today, we have significantly more clarity about the global capital framework. We believe a more level playing field is emerging, in which capital efficiency and low-risk business models will prevail. We are confident that our early transition on many of these issues will serve us well in the long term and places us in a favorable position compared to our peers.

Outlook

At this point in time, we have to recognize the likelihood that the current headwinds in the economic and market environment may be more persistent than we would have hoped. We expect interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time and the strong Swiss franc to continue to have an impact on our results. We may also continue to see lower levels of client activity and a volatile trading environment. However, we continue to focus on operating a business that generates solid income and resilient returns regardless of the market environment and other external factors and we remain confident in the strength of our platform, which we expect to provide us with substantial upside potential when economic and market conditions improve.

Yours sincerely

Urs Rohner             Brady W. Dougan

Operating environment

Core Results

Key performance indicators

Operating environment

The operating environment remained challenging in 2Q11. Uncertainty surrounding a possible default on Greek debt led to wider concerns of sovereign debt default in Europe. The global economy slowed in 2Q11, also negatively impacted by the natural disaster in Japan as well as high commodity prices at the beginning of the quarter. Overall, inflation continued to rise globally, and the European Central Bank began raising interest rates in April. Equity markets ended slightly lower, with trading volumes down. The Swiss franc further strengthened against most major currencies in 2Q11.

Economic environment

Gross domestic product (GDP) data presented a mixed picture in the quarter. While some European economies (Germany and France) saw solid growth , growth in the US and Switzerland was moderate and was negative in Japan, with its industrial production falling sharply. Supply chain disruptions also appeared to affect Japan's trading partners, with US motor vehicle and parts production significantly lower. Growth in China was slower due to the tightening of its monetary policy. In Brazil, the slowdown was more substantial due to lower household consumption. In general, the global economy was clearly cooling after a relatively robust post-crisis rebound. High commodity prices in the beginning of the quarter accounted for a portion of the recent slowdown as well as increased inflationary pressures. In many developed and emerging countries, inflation reached the highest level since the summer of 2008. At the same time, with oil prices starting to fall during the quarter, there were signs that inflation might be peaking.

Central banks reacted differently to the combination of slower global growth and higher inflation. The European Central Bank (ECB) started to raise interest rates in April, the first major central bank to do so since rates were cut to record lows during the financial crisis, and signaled at its June meeting that it could continue to raise rates in July. In contrast, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of England maintained interest rates at exceptionally low levels. The Fed completed its initiative to purchase USD 600 billion of US treasuries.

European sovereign debt concerns continued to make headlines and affected markets worldwide. In May, Portugal was the third country to accept an EU/International Monetary Fund rescue package, endorsed by the newly elected Portuguese government. In Greece, payment of the next tranche of previously approved rescue funds was delayed. After political conflict within his party concerning additional austerity measures required to receive those funds, the Greek prime minister requested and won a vote of confidence from the Greek parliament relating to the measures. The parliament passed the austerity measures at the end of June, paving the way for disbursal of a further EUR 12 billion in rescue funds.

Swiss GDP growth figures published in 2Q11 showed a slight weakening of the recent growth momentum. Growth was primarily attributable to housing, healthcare and financial services, while consumption of food and clothing goods declined. There was little sign of inflation in Switzerland, as the rise in the value of the Swiss franc lessened the impact of increasing world commodity prices. The ongoing upward trend of the Swiss franc bears risk for the Swiss export sector and may lead to a slowdown of the economy.

2Q11 equity markets ended slightly lower, with trading volumes down, impacted by weaker economic indicators and continued risk aversion. Market volatility, as indicated by the Chicago Board of Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX), increased sharply prior to the vote of confidence in Greece in June (refer to the charts “Equity markets”), but returned to levels seen at the beginning of the quarter. Swiss equities were down 2% for the quarter.

In fixed income markets, long-dated bonds outperformed with benchmark yields decreasing on the back of weaker macroeconomic data and fears of an escalation of the sovereign debt concerns in the eurozone. Bonds from European sovereigns considered fiscally weaker and of issuers associated with them particularly suffered in this environment. In contrast, US treasuries and Swiss government bonds benefited from strong safe-haven flows, posting positive total returns for the quarter. With widespread risk aversion, high yield bonds saw weaker performance in 2Q11, and record outflows from high yield bond funds were reported in June.

The Swiss franc was the strongest major currency in 2Q11. It appreciated to record highs against the euro and the US dollar. The strength of the Swiss franc was driven by its safe-haven status as the sovereign debt concerns in the eurozone continued. Further, the Swiss franc rose as economic data, especially in the US, showed a cyclical slowdown. Other currencies like the British pound and euro ended the quarter at around the same level against the US dollar as at the end of 1Q11. Low interest rates in the US and its external deficit prevented the US dollar from appreciating .

Commodity prices had a volatile quarter and finished overall down for the quarter. After a strong start to the quarter, prices turned sharply lower in May due to growing concerns about the slowdown of the global economy. After reaching a high above USD 114 per barrel, oil prices dropped below USD 100 per barrel in May before stabilizing around that price level during the second half of the quarter. Gold prices were relatively stable and continued to gradually increase during the quarter, supported by the low interest rate environment.

Sector environment

Banks significantly underperformed the broader market in 2Q11 (refer to the charts “Equity markets). Markets were declining during the quarter, but ended only slightly lower as markets rebounded at the end of the quarter when the Greek restructuring measures were backed by the government. Sector performance also reflected uncertainties regarding the effect of the changing regulations on sector participants. For information regarding regulatory proposals and developments, refer to IV – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Regulatory capital developments and proposals and I – Information on the company – Regulation and supervision in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Overall funding availability for European banks was solid at the beginning of the quarter, but worsened for some given rising sovereign debt concerns during 2Q11. Dependency of the Portuguese, Irish and Greek banks on ECB lending support increased further.

The wealth management sector was affected by the European sovereign debt concerns and the turmoil in the Middle East. Cautious client behavior was reflected in trading volumes. The strength of the Swiss franc continued to have an adverse foreign exchange impact on results and assets under management at Swiss institutions, despite the strong rise in global wealth over the last two years when measured in US dollars. The mortgage market in Switzerland was characterized by ongoing strong growth and competition. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) voiced concerns over a potential overheating of the Swiss real estate market in some local areas.

In the investment banking sector, global completed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) volumes increased relative to 1Q11, while the pipeline of global announced M&A volumes was slightly lower. Equity underwriting volumes increased, particularly in Europe, driven by higher initial public offering (IPO) activity, while debt underwriting volumes declined from a robust 1Q11, despite continued low interest rates in developed markets. Global exchange volumes were weaker than in 1Q11 for equity and fixed income markets. Cash equity volumes declined in both the US and Europe, reflecting lower risk appetite. During the quarter, subprime ABX and CMBX real estate indices reached new lows, down 10% and 18% on average from 1Q11, respectively. Cost pressures in the sector remained high, with many institutions implementing further cost cutting initiatives.

In the asset management sector, the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index was down 1% in 2Q11. The hedge fund industry saw its largest declines in managed futures funds with offsetting gains in equity market neutral funds. New allocations to the hedge fund industry totaled nearly USD 30 billion in 2Q11. In private equity, aggregate capital raised increased over 1Q11. Private equity-backed deals increased over 1Q11. In US mutual funds, there were inflows into bond funds and outflows from equity funds.

Core Results

In 2Q11, we recorded net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 768 million. Private Banking attracted solid net new assets of CHF 11.5 billion, with broad inflows in both our Swiss and international businesses. Private Banking’s results reflected the challenging operating environment with very low client activity. Investment Banking net revenues, particularly in fixed income sales and trading, were significantly impacted by difficult trading conditions and weaker client activity triggered by European sovereign debt concerns, widening credit spreads and macroeconomic concerns. Asset Management had improved fee-based revenues, continued its positive trend in net new assets and had investment-related gains of CHF 156 million. Results were significantly impacted by the adverse foreign exchange translation impact.

In managing the business, revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of performance.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.

Impact from movements in spreads

Our Core Results revenues are impacted by changes in credit spreads on Credit Suisse vanilla debt carried at fair value. For segment reporting purposes, the cumulative fair value gains of CHF 1.5 billion on Credit Suisse vanilla debt as of the opening 1Q10 balance sheet are charged to the segments on a straight-line amortization basis, and the difference between this amortization and the fair valuation on this Credit Suisse debt from changes in credit spreads is included in the Corporate Center. For further information, refer to II – Operating and financial review – Core Results – Accounting changes adopted in the first quarter 2010 in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010. Our Core Results are also impacted by fair valuation gains/(losses) on stand-alone derivatives relating to certain of our funding liabilities. These fair valuation gains/(losses) on the stand-alone derivatives are recorded in the Corporate Center, reflect the volatility of cross-currency swaps and yield curve volatility and, over the life of the derivatives, will result in no net gains/(losses). Regulatory capital excludes cumulative fair value gains/(losses) related to own vanilla debt and structured notes, net of tax. For further information, refer to IV – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management.

Results overview

In 2Q11, we recorded net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 768 million, down 52% compared to 2Q10. Net revenues were CHF 6,326 million, down 25%, and total operating expenses were CHF 5,227 million, down 21% compared to 2Q10. Revenues were adversely impacted and expenses were favorably impacted by the strengthening of the Swiss franc against all major currencies. Compared to 2Q10, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes was CHF 1,148 million and CHF 348 million, respectively. Our 2Q11 results included fair value gains of CHF 54 million on Credit Suisse vanilla debt and CHF 13 million of fair value losses on stand-alone derivatives related to certain of our funding liabilities.

In Private Banking, net revenues of CHF 2,797 million decreased 6% compared to 2Q10, driven by a decline in net interest income and transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management Clients. In an ongoing low interest rate environment, net interest income decreased 10%, with lower margins on lower average deposit volumes and slightly higher average loan volumes. The decline in deposit volumes included the impact from the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc and lower volumes related to securities lending and borrowing activities. Recurring commissions and fees decreased slightly, reflecting the adverse foreign exchange translation impact, including the impact on average assets under management, partially offset by higher investment account and service fees and semi-annual performance fees. Transaction-based revenues decreased 7%, primarily due to substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees and lower foreign exchange income from client transactions, partially offset by gains from the sale of real estate of CHF 72 million. Overall, assets under management continued to reflect a risk-averse asset mix, with investments in less complex, lower-margin products, also within managed investment products, and a significant portion of assets in cash and money market products.

A significant portion of our business requires inter-regional coordination in order to facilitate the needs of our clients. The methodology for allocating our results by region is dependent on management judgment. For Private Banking, results are allocated based on the management reporting structure of our relationship managers and the region where the transaction is recorded. For Investment Banking, trading results are allocated based on where the risk is primarily managed and fee-based results are allocated where the client is domiciled. For Asset Management, results are allocated based on the location of the investment advisors and sales teams.

In Investment Banking, net revenues of CHF 2,822 million were down 31% from 2Q10. Results in 2Q11 were impacted by the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc, which adversely impacted revenues and favorably impacted expenses. In US dollars, net revenues were 12% lower and income before taxes was 64% lower compared to 2Q10. Fixed income sales and trading results were significantly lower than 2Q10, reflecting challenging trading conditions and weaker client flows triggered by European sovereign debt concerns and deteriorating economic indicators, particularly in the US. Results in securitized products, rates and credit were impacted by difficult market-making conditions and reduced liquidity that resulted in losses on inventory positions related to client trading business. In addition, we incurred losses in securitized products from sales of inventory and related hedges as we reduced risk. Our fixed income sales and trading results in 2Q11 mainly consisted of revenues from emerging markets, credit, including leveraged finance and investment grade, global rates, commodities, foreign exchange and securitized products. Revenues included a loss of CHF 115 million relating to a change in estimate in adopting overnight indexed swap (OIS) interest rate yield curves in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives. Equity sales and trading results were solid, although lower compared to 2Q10, reflecting muted client trading activity and the foreign exchange translation impact. Equity sales and trading results mainly consisted of revenues from prime services, cash equities, derivatives and equity arbitrage trading. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, underwriting and advisory results were up against 2Q10, primarily reflecting improved equity underwriting and advisory results.

In Asset Management, net revenues of CHF 629 million were up 25% from 2Q10. Net revenues before investment-related gains and securities purchased from our money market funds were CHF 473 million, up 12% compared to 2Q10, reflecting improved results in alternative investments. Fee-based revenues increased 9% compared to 2Q10. Asset management fees of CHF 313 million were down 12%, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and the spin-off and sale of non-core businesses. Average assets under management decreased 2.0% compared to 2Q10, reflecting adverse foreign exchange-related movements, partially offset by net new assets and positive market performance. Placement, transaction and other fees were 30% higher, primarily reflecting higher private equity placement fees, partially offset by lower real estate transaction fees. Performance fees and carried interest were up CHF 57 million, benefiting from significantly higher semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo and carried interest on realized private equity gains. Equity participations income increased 57%, primarily reflecting higher income from our investments in single manager hedge funds and diversified strategies. Investment-related gains were CHF 156 million, up CHF 113 million compared with 2Q10, including realized and unrealized gains in private equity investments in the healthcare and energy sectors.

For further information on Private Banking, Investment Banking and Asset Management, refer to II – Results by division.

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, the Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses. Corporate Center loss before taxes was CHF 190 million. The loss included CHF 142 million of severance and other compensation expense related to headcount reductions in Investment Banking, as part of a Group-wide cost efficiency initiative, net fair value gains on our long-term vanilla debt (consisting of CHF 106 million gains on own debt and CHF 13 million losses on stand-alone derivatives) and litigation provisions related to the settlement of an auction rate securities matter. The fair value gains on own debt reflected the widening of credit spreads, partially offset by the increased fair value of outstanding hybrid debt instruments due to the perceived likelihood of redemption at their first call date. Revenues and compensation and benefits also included reclassifications relating to the Partner Asset Facility (PAF), as PAF gains of CHF 21 million and offsetting compensation expense were included in Investment Banking trading revenues. In 2Q10, Corporate Center income before taxes was CHF 126 million, primarily reflecting fair value gains on Credit Suisse debt of CHF 922 million and significantly higher expenses, including compensation expense of CHF 447 million due to the UK levy on variable compensation and CHF 216 million of litigation provisions.

Provision for credit losses were net provisions of CHF 13 million in 2Q11, with net provisions of CHF 15 million in Investment Banking and net releases of CHF 2 million in Private Banking.

Total operating expenses of CHF 5,227 million were down 21% compared to 2Q10, reflecting 22% lower compensation and benefits and 20% lower general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses in 2Q11 were favorably impacted by the foreign exchange translation impact compared to 2Q10. The decrease in compensation and benefits was mainly due to the favorable foreign exchange translation impact, the UK levy on variable compensation of CHF 447 million in 2Q10, lower discretionary performance-related compensation accruals and lower social security taxes on share award deliveries, partially offset by severance and other compensation expense of CHF 142 million in Corporate Center related to headcount reduction in Investment Banking and higher salaries and benefits reflecting increased headcount. The decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily reflected lower provisions and losses and the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Net litigation provisions in 2Q11 were CHF 69 million. 2Q10 included CHF 216 million of litigation provisions recorded in Corporate Center.

The Core Results effective tax rate was 25.0% in 2Q11, compared to 28.6% in 1Q11. The 2Q11 effective tax rate was influenced by the geographical mix of results. The effective tax rate also reflected an increase in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, mainly in the UK, and an increase in deferred tax asset balances following a re-measurement of deferred tax assets in Switzerland. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 780 million to CHF 7,401 million as of the end of 2Q11, primarily related to the foreign exchange translation impact. For further information, refer to Note 20 – Tax in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited.

Assets under management were CHF 1,233.3 billion as of the end of 2Q11, down 3.8% compared to the end of 1Q11, mainly reflecting adverse foreign exchange-related movements, partially offset by net new assets. Compared to the end of 2Q10, assets under management were stable. Net new assets in both Private Banking and Asset Management and positive market performance were offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements.

Adjusting our cost base

In order to better position the Group for continued challenging markets, we are implementing a number of cost efficiency initiatives to achieve CHF 1 billion in cost savings and resulting reductions in the annualized first half 2011 expense run rate during 2012. The program includes reductions of approximately 4% of total headcount across the Group. The initiatives will involve implementation costs in 2011 of CHF 400 million to CHF 450 million, of which CHF 142 million of severance and other compensation expense related to headcount reductions in Investment Banking were recognized in the Corporate Center in 2Q11. We expect to recognize in the Corporate Center the balance of the implementation costs associated with these initiatives in the second half of 2011, primarily through severance and other compensation expense. Given these implementation costs, we expect limited net costs savings in 2011 and realization of the benefits of the cost efficiency initiatives during 2012. We do not expect the cost efficiency initiatives to have an impact on the execution of our capital-efficient, client-focused strategy, and we expect a limited impact on revenues as we allocate resources to growth businesses.

Recent developments

On April 30, 2011, Credit Suisse completed the acquisition of ABN AMRO Bank’s (formerly Fortis Bank Nederland) Prime Fund Services (PFS) hedge fund administration business, a global leader in hedge fund administration services.

Regulatory proposals and developments

Government leaders and regulators continued to focus on reform of the financial services industry, including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, changes in compensation practices and systemic risk. For information on the liquidity principles agreed with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), the liquidity and capital standards under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III framework, the report of the Swiss Expert Commission on “Too Big to Fail” issues relating to big banks, and the revisions to the Basel II market risk framework (Basel II.5), refer to IV – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Regulatory capital developments and proposals, and for information on other regulatory proposals and developments, refer to I – Information on the company – Regulation and supervision in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

In July 2011, the UK enacted a levy attributable to the UK operations of large banks on certain funding. We currently estimate an expense of CHF 125 million from this levy in 2011, to be recognized in the second half of 2011. For further information, refer to Note 3 – Business developments and subsequent events in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits for a given year reflect the strength and breadth of the business results and staffing levels and include fixed components, such as salaries, benefits and the amortization of share-based and other deferred compensation from prior-year awards, and a discretionary variable component. The variable component reflects the performance-based variable compensation for the current year. The portion of the performance-based compensation for the current year deferred through share-based and other awards is expensed in future periods and is subject to vesting and other conditions.

Our shareholders’ equity reflects the effect of share-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense (which is generally based on fair value at the time of grant) reduces equity, however, the recognition of the obligation to deliver the shares increases equity by a corresponding amount. Equity is generally unaffected by the granting and vesting of share-based awards, including through the issuance of shares from approved conditional capital. If Credit Suisse purchases shares from the market to meet its obligation to employees, these purchased treasury shares reduce equity by the amount of the purchase price. Shareholders’ equity also includes, as additional paid-in capital, the excess tax benefits/charges that arise at settlement of share-based awards. For further information, refer to the Consolidated statements of changes in equity (unaudited) and Note 21 – Employee deferred compensation in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited and Note 26 – Tax – Tax benefits associated with share-based compensation in V – Consolidated Financial Statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Funding

We centrally manage our funding activities. New securities for funding and capital purposes are issued primarily by the Bank. The Bank lends funds to our operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to capitalize on opportunities. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital.

Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record net revenues and expenses in each of the segments for this capital and funding. Our funds transfer pricing system is designed to allocate to our businesses funding costs in a way that incentivizes their efficient use of funding. Our funds transfer pricing system is an essential tool that allocates to the businesses the short-term and long-term costs of funding their balance sheet and the costs associated with funding liquidity and balance sheet items, such as goodwill, which are beyond the control of individual businesses. This is of greater importance in a stressed capital markets environment where raising funds is more challenging and expensive. Under this system, our businesses are also credited to the extent they provide long-term stable funding.

Fair valuations

Fair value can be a relevant measurement for financial instruments when it aligns the accounting for these instruments with how we manage our business. The levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the relevant accounting guidance are not a measurement of economic risk, but rather an indication of the observability of prices or valuation inputs.

Based on our regular review of observable parameters used in our pricing models, in 2Q11 we adopted OIS interest rate yield curves, instead of other reference rates such as LIBOR, in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives, resulting in a loss of CHF 115 million in Investment Banking fixed income sales and trading revenue.

For further information, refer to Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies and Note 26 – Financial instruments in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited. The Financial Report 2Q11, including additional disclosures on fair value of financial instruments, will be published on our website and filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about August 9, 2011.

Personnel

Headcount at the end of 2Q11 was 50,700, up 600 from 1Q11, primarily reflecting increases in Investment Banking from the completion of the acquisition of ABN AMRO Bank’s (formerly Fortis Bank Nederland) PFS hedge fund administration business. Headcount at the end of 2Q11 was up 1,500 from 2Q10, reflecting increases in Private Banking, with investments, including IT, in client-facing businesses, and in Investment Banking, 440 of which was from the completion of the acquisition of PFS.

In order to better position the Group for continued challenging markets, we are targeting headcount reductions across the Group. For further information, refer to Adjusting our cost base.

Key performance indicators

Our key performance indicators (KPIs) are targets to be achieved over a three to five year period across market cycles. As such, year-to-date results may be more meaningful than individual quarterly results. Our KPIs are assessed annually as part of our normal planning process.

Growth

We target collaboration revenues of 18% to 20% of net revenues. Collaboration revenues were 17.5% of net revenues for 2Q11.

For net new assets, we target a growth rate above 6%. In 2Q11, we recorded an annualized net new asset growth rate of 4.5% and a rolling four-quarter average growth rate of 5.0%.

Efficiency and performance

For total shareholder return, we target superior share price appreciation plus dividends compared to our peer group. Our 2Q11 total shareholder return was (13.3)%. The 2Q11 average total shareholder return of our peer group was (5.6)%.

For return on equity, we target an annualized return on equity above 15%. The annualized return on equity was 9.7% in 2Q11.

We target a pre-tax income margin above 28%. Our pre-tax income margin was 17.2% for 2Q11.

Results overview

Income before taxes of CHF 843 million decreased 4% compared to 2Q10. Net revenues of CHF 2,797 million decreased 6% compared to 2Q10, driven by a decline in net interest income and transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management Clients. In an ongoing low interest rate environment, net interest income decreased 10%, with lower margins on lower average deposit volumes and slightly higher average loan volumes. The decline in deposit volumes included the impact from the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc and lower volumes related to securities lending and borrowing activities. Recurring commissions and fees decreased slightly, reflecting the adverse foreign exchange translation impact, including the impact on average assets under management, partially offset by higher investment account and services fees and semi-annual performance fees. Transaction-based revenues decreased 7%, primarily due to substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees and lower foreign exchange income from client transactions, partially offset by gains from the sale of real estate of CHF 72 million. The decline in brokerage and product issuing fees was across most asset classes, particularly equity and bonds, with a decrease of over 20% in client turnover volumes in Wealth Management Clients, reflecting very low client activity. Overall, assets under management continued to reflect a risk-averse asset mix, with investments in less complex, lower-margin products, also within managed investment products, and a significant portion of assets in cash and money market products.

Results in Private Banking were impacted by the ongoing weakening of the average exchange rates, mainly of the US dollar and the euro, against the Swiss franc, adversely impacting revenues and assets under management and favorably impacting expenses, primarily in Wealth Management Clients. Compared to 2Q10, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes in Private Banking was CHF 294 million and CHF 205 million, respectively. Compared to 1Q11, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes in Private Banking was CHF 87 million and CHF 60 million, respectively. Compared to 2Q10, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes in Wealth Management Clients was CHF 280 million and CHF 191 million, respectively. Compared to 1Q11, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes in Wealth Management Clients was CHF 83 million and CHF 56 million, respectively.

We recorded net releases of CHF 2 million for provisions for credit losses in Private Banking, with net provisions of CHF 8 million in Wealth Management Clients and net releases of CHF 10 million in Corporate & Institutional Clients.

Total operating expenses of CHF 1,956 million were 7% lower compared to 2Q10, reflecting the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding this impact total operating expenses were 3% lower, reflecting lower compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses.

Compared to 1Q11, income before taxes was stable. Net revenues decreased 3%, driven by lower transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management Clients. Transaction-based revenues decreased 10%, primarily reflecting the substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by the real estate gains. The slight decline in net interest income reflected slightly lower loan margins and lower deposit margins on stable average volumes. Recurring commissions and fees were stable. Total operating expenses decreased 4%, as lower compensation and benefits and commission expenses, reflecting the low client activity, were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

Assets under management as of the end of 2Q11 were CHF 919.1 billion, 4.1% lower than the end of 1Q11. Net new assets of CHF 11.5 billion were more than offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements, mainly the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc, and adverse equity market movements. All net new assets were from Wealth Management Clients, of which two thirds were from international regions, with strong contributions from emerging markets and the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) client segment. Compared to the end of 2Q10, assets under management were down 0.7%, reflecting strong net new assets and positive equity and bond market movements offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements, mainly from the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc. Average assets under management of Wealth Management Clients were stable compared to 1Q11 and decreased slightly compared to 2Q10, as strong net new assets, particularly from the UHNW client segment, and positive market movements were offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements.

Initiatives and achievements

In 2Q11, we continued our long-term strategy of organic growth and strengthened our client focus:

– We were named “Best Wealth Management House” and, for the fifth time in a row, “Best Bank in Switzerland” in Euromoney's Awards for Excellence 2011.

– Recognizing the importance of the Chinese economy, we developed renminbi-based cash management products for corporate clients in the Asia Pacific region and expect to offer other renminbi-based fixed income and equity products.

– In Singapore, we launched the SymAsia Foundation Limited during the Credit Suisse Philanthropists Forum, providing a platform for individuals to discuss key issues related to philanthropy. SymAsia offers potential donors a comprehensive infrastructure to realize their philanthropic ambitions and support their preferred charitable causes.

– We launched the Direct Net Mobile Banking iPhone app for Swiss iPhone holders. Clients and non-clients can access our research recommendations, find the nearest ATM or build their own investment watchlists. Clients with the DirectNet app can also securely access an overview of their financial transactions.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 2Q11 results versus 2Q10 (YoY) and versus 1Q11 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Recurring revenues arise from net interest income, recurring commissions and fees, including performance-based fees, related to assets under management and custody assets, as well as fees for general banking products and services. Net interest income includes a term spread credit on stable deposit funding and a term spread charge on loans. Transaction-based revenues arise primarily from brokerage and product issuing fees, foreign exchange income from client transactions and other transaction-based income.

YoY: Down 6% from CHF 2,991 million to CHF 2,797 million

Net interest income decreased 10%, with lower margins on lower average deposit volumes and slightly higher average loan volumes. The decline in deposit volumes included the impact from the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc and lower volumes related to securities lending and borrowing activities. Recurring commissions and fees decreased slightly, as the adverse foreign exchange translation impact, including the impact on average assets under management, and lower banking services fees were partially offset by higher investment account and services fees and semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo. Transaction-based revenues decreased 7%, primarily due to substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, mainly from equities and bonds, and lower foreign exchange income from clients, partially offset by gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate. The decline in transaction-based revenues reflected low client activity, with a decrease of over 20% in client turnover volumes in Wealth Management Clients, and the adverse foreign exchange translation impact.

QoQ: Down 3% from CHF 2,896 million to CHF 2,797 million

Slightly lower net interest income reflected lower deposit margins and slightly lower loan margins on stable average loan and deposit volumes. Recurring commissions and fees were stable, as semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo were offset by lower banking services fees and investment account and services fees. Transaction-based revenues decreased 10%, primarily reflecting substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by the real estate gains. The decline in brokerage and product issuing fees was mainly in equities and bonds, and reflected the substantial decrease in client turnover volumes in Wealth Management Clients.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: Down from CHF 3 million to CHF (2) million

New provisions of CHF 55 million and releases of CHF 57 million resulted in net releases of provisions for credit losses of CHF 2 million. Wealth Management Clients recorded net new provisions of CHF 8 million and Corporate & Institutional Clients recorded net releases of CHF 10 million. Releases were recognized in Wealth Management Clients and Corporate & Institutional Clients, while new provisions were mainly recognized in Wealth Management Clients. The Wealth Management Clients loan portfolio is substantially comprised of residential mortgages in Switzerland and loans collateralized by securities. Our corporate and institutional loan portfolio has sound quality, relatively low concentrations and is mainly secured by mortgages, securities and other financial collateral.

QoQ: Down from CHF 12 million to CHF (2) million

Provision for credit losses reflected higher releases and higher new provisions.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Down 7% from CHF 1,214 million to CHF 1,135 million

The decrease reflected the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding this impact, the decrease reflected lower social security expenses on share award deliveries, deferred compensation from prior-year awards and discretionary performance-based compensation accruals.

QoQ: Down 7% from CHF 1,224 million to CHF 1,135 million

The decrease reflected lower discretionary performance-based compensation accruals, deferred compensation from prior-year awards and social security expenses on share award deliveries.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 9% from CHF 728 million to CHF 664 million

The decline was mainly due to the favorable foreign exchange translation impact, a release of non-income tax provisions, lower premises and equipment expenses and lower marketing and sales expenses.

QoQ: Up 7% from CHF 621 million to CHF 664 million

The increase mainly reflected higher professional fees and marketing and sales expenses, partly offset by the release of non-income tax provisions and the favorable foreign exchange translation impact.

Personnel

Headcount at the end of 2Q11 was 25,700, up 100 from 1Q11 and up 800 from 2Q10. The increase from 2Q10 mainly reflected investments in our growth markets, advisory and solutions capabilities and multi-shore business model, including IT investments. The number of relationship managers in Wealth Management Clients was stable compared to 1Q11 and increased by 80 compared to 2Q10, primarily in Switzerland and Asia Pacific.

Wealth Management Clients

Net revenues

Net interest income

YoY: Down 12% from CHF 974 million to CHF 855 million

The decrease reflected lower deposit margins on lower average volumes and slightly lower loan margins on slightly higher average volumes. The decline in deposit volumes included the adverse foreign exchange translation impact and lower volumes related to securities lending and borrowing activities.

QoQ: Down 3% from CHF 880 million to CHF 855 million

The decrease reflected lower deposit margins on stable average volumes and slightly lower loan margins on slightly higher average volumes.

Recurring commissions and fees

YoY: Down 3% from CHF 923 million to CHF 899 million

Recurring commissions and fees decreased slightly, as the adverse foreign exchange translation impact, including the impact on average assets under management, and lower banking services fees were partially offset by higher investment account and services fees and semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo.

QoQ: Stable at CHF 899 million

Recurring commissions and fees were stable, as semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo were offset by lower banking services fees and investment account and services fees.

Transaction-based

YoY: Down 7% from CHF 619 million to CHF 576 million

The decrease was mainly due to substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, primarily from equities and bonds, and lower income from foreign exchange client transactions, partially offset by the gains of CHF 72 million from the sale of real estate. The decrease in transaction-based revenues reflected low client activity, with a drop of over 20% in client turnover volumes, and the adverse foreign exchange translation impact.

QoQ: Down 11% from CHF 649 million to CHF 576 million

The decrease reflected the substantially lower brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by the sales gains from real estate. The decline in brokerage and product issuing fees was mainly in equities and bonds, and reflected the substantial decrease in client turnover volumes.

Gross margin

Our gross margin was 115 basis points in 2Q11, five basis points lower than in 2Q10. The net interest income margin decreased five basis points due to 12% lower net interest income, primarily from lower deposit revenues, and 2.9% lower average assets under management. Recurring commissions and fees margin increased one basis point due to the lower average assets under management, while the transaction-based margin was down one basis point, reflecting 7% lower transaction-based revenues and the lower average assets under management. Excluding the CHF 72 million of gains from the sale of real estate, the transaction-based margin was 25 basis points and the gross margin was 111 basis points.

Compared to 1Q11, the gross margin decreased three basis points, primarily due to the 11% decrease in transaction-based revenues, 3% lower net interest income and the 1.4% decline in average assets under management.

Recurring commission and fees

YoY: Stable at CHF 106 million

Recurring commissions and fees were stable, as slight increases in investment account and services fees and banking services fees were offset by slight decreases in management fees.

QoQ: Up 3% from CHF 103 million to CHF 106 million

The increase mainly reflected higher investment account and services fees.

Transaction-based

YoY: Down 4% from CHF 68 million to CHF 65 million

The decline reflected lower foreign exchange income from client transactions and higher fair value losses on the Clock Finance transaction of CHF 4 million in 2Q11 compared to CHF 1 million in 2Q10, partially offset by higher corporate advisory fees.

QoQ: Up 2% from CHF 64 million to CHF 65 million

The increase reflected lower fair value losses on the Clock Finance transaction of CHF 4 million compared to losses of CHF 11 million in 1Q11 and higher corporate advisory fees, including revenues from integrated solutions, mostly offset by lower brokerage and product issuing fees, mainly from interest rate derivatives.

Return on business volume

Return on business volume measures revenues over average business volume, which is comprised of client assets and net loans.

Return on business volume of 78 basis points was three basis points lower than 2Q10 and one basis point lower than 1Q11. The decrease from 2Q10 reflected slightly lower net revenues and slightly higher average business volume, mainly higher assets under management. Compared to 1Q11, the decrease in return on business volume reflected stable net revenues and slightly higher average business volume.

Excluding the fair value losses on the Clock Finance transaction, return on business volume was 79 basis points in 2Q11, 80 basis points in 1Q11 and 81 basis points in 2Q10.

Investment Banking

In 2Q11, we reported income before taxes of CHF 231 million and net revenues of CHF 2,822 million. Net revenues, particularly in fixed income sales and trading, were significantly impacted by difficult trading conditions and weaker client activity triggered by European sovereign debt concerns, widening credit spreads and macroeconomic concerns. Equity sales and trading revenues were solid, although impacted by lower client trading activity. Our underwriting and advisory results were strong in US dollars as improved equity underwriting and advisory revenues offset lower debt underwriting revenues.

Results overview

In 2Q11, income before taxes was CHF 231 million, down 71% compared to 2Q10, and down 83% from 1Q11. Net revenues of CHF 2,822 million were down 31% from 2Q10, and down 43% from 1Q11. Results in 2Q11 were impacted by the weakening of the US dollar against the Swiss franc, which adversely impacted revenues and favorably impacted expenses. In US dollars, net revenues were 12% lower compared to 2Q10 and 38% lower compared to 1Q11, and income before taxes was 64% lower compared to 2Q10 and 81% lower compared to 1Q11.

Fixed income sales and trading results were significantly lower than 2Q10 and 1Q11, reflecting challenging trading conditions and weaker client flows triggered by European sovereign debt concerns and deteriorating economic indicators, particularly in the US. Results in securitized products, rates and credit were impacted by difficult market-making conditions and reduced liquidity that resulted in losses on inventory positions related to client trading business. In addition, we incurred losses in securitized products from sales of inventory and related hedges as we reduced risk. Our fixed income sales and trading results in 2Q11 mainly consisted of revenues from emerging markets, credit, including leveraged finance and investment grade, global rates, commodities, foreign exchange and securitized products. Revenues included a loss of CHF 115 million relating to a change in estimate in adopting OIS interest rate yield curves in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives.

Equity sales and trading results were solid, although lower compared to 2Q10 and 1Q11, reflecting muted client trading activity and the foreign exchange translation impact. Equity sales and trading results mainly consisted of revenues from prime services, cash equities, derivatives and equity arbitrage trading.

Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, underwriting and advisory results were up against 2Q10 and 1Q11, primarily reflecting improved equity underwriting and advisory results.

Compensation and benefits of CHF 1,446 million in 2Q11 were lower than 2Q10, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and lower discretionary performance-related compensation accruals. Compensation and benefits were also lower than 1Q11, primarily due to significantly lower discretionary performance-related compensation accruals. Total other operating expenses decreased 12% compared to 2Q10 and 6% compared to 1Q11. In US dollars, total other operating expenses increased 14% compared to 2Q10 and 2% compared to 1Q11.

Our results reflected fair value losses on Credit Suisse vanilla debt and debit valuation adjustments (DVA) relating to certain structured note liabilities. For further information, refer to sales and trading results details and Note 26 –Financial instruments in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited.

Results in 2Q11 were impacted by the weakening of the average rate of the US dollar against the Swiss franc compared to 1Q11 and 2Q10, which adversely affected revenues and favorably impacted expenses. In US dollars, net revenues were 12% lower compared to 2Q10 and 38% lower than 1Q11, and total operating expenses were stable compared to 2Q10 and 23% lower compared to 1Q11. For more information on foreign currency translation rates, refer to VI – Investor information.

On April 30, 2011, Credit Suisse completed the acquisition of ABN AMRO Bank’s (formerly Fortis Bank Nederland) PFS hedge fund administration business, a global leader in hedge fund administration services.

Performance indicators

Pre-tax income margin (KPI)

Our target over market cycles is a pre-tax income margin of 25% or greater. The pre-tax income margin was 8.2% in 2Q11, compared to 19.1% in 2Q10 and 27.2% in 1Q11.

Value-at-Risk

The average one-day, 98% risk management value-at-risk (VaR) was CHF 71 million in 2Q11, compared to CHF 94 million in 2Q10 and CHF 77 million in 1Q11. For further information on VaR and changes in VaR methodology, refer to IV – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Risk management – Market risk.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 2Q11 results versus 2Q10 (YoY) and versus 1Q11 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Debt underwriting

YoY: Down 13% from CHF 460 million to CHF 399 million

The decrease reflected the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, revenues increased 11%, reflecting primarily higher revenues from structured lending in emerging markets and investment grade issuances, partially offset by lower revenues from asset-backed securities (ABS).

QoQ: Down 20% from CHF 501 million to CHF 399 million

The decrease reflected lower revenues from leveraged finance due to a decrease in high yield market share and lower industry-wide high yield issuance volumes, partly offset by higher revenues from structured lending in emerging markets.

Equity underwriting

YoY: Up 36% from CHF 216 million to CHF 294 million

The increase reflected higher industry-wide IPO and follow-on volumes and significantly higher IPO and follow-on market share, particularly in the Americas and Europe.

QoQ: Up 46% from CHF 201 million to CHF 294 million

The increase reflected higher revenues from IPOs driven by robust industry-wide IPO volumes and significant improvement in IPO market share.

Advisory and other fees

YoY: Down 13% from CHF 312 million to CHF 272 million

The decrease was due to the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, advisory and other fees were 12% higher compared to 2Q10, driven by higher M&A fees, reflecting higher completed M&A market share and higher industry-wide completed M&A volumes.

QoQ: Up 19% from CHF 228 million to CHF 272 million

The increase was due to higher M&A fees driven by significantly higher completed M&A market share and higher industry-wide completed M&A volumes.

Fixed income sales and trading

YoY: Down 59% from CHF 1,438 million to CHF 595 million

The decrease was driven by significantly lower revenues in securitized products as a steep decline in cash and synthetic mortgage bond prices led to lower client activity and significant valuation reductions on client flow inventory, particularly in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) secondary trading. In addition, we incurred losses from sales of inventory, as we reduced risk in response to market conditions, and from related hedges as basis risk increased. Our rates and credit results were also impacted by challenging market-making conditions, reflecting volatility and reduced liquidity in the markets, leading to losses on inventory positions. We had significantly lower revenues in our global rates business, especially in our European and US businesses, and lower results in foreign exchange. We had stronger results in our emerging markets trading and commodities businesses compared to 2Q10. Results in leveraged finance and investment grade trading were slightly higher than the weak results in 2Q10. Our results reflected DVA gains of CHF 34 million in 2Q11, compared to DVA gains of CHF 57 million in 2Q10, relating to structured note liabilities, and fair value losses on Credit Suisse vanilla debt of CHF 43 million compared to fair value losses of CHF 56 million in 2Q10. Revenues included a loss of CHF 115 million relating to a change in estimate in adopting OIS interest rate yield curves in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives.

QoQ: Down 76 % from CHF 2,493 million to CHF 595 million

The decrease reflected significantly lower revenues across most businesses, particularly the decline in securitized products following a strong 1Q11. We had lower revenues in global rates, especially in our European and US rates businesses, and credit businesses, primarily leveraged finance and investment grade trading. Revenues in these businesses were negatively impacted by the challenging market conditions. We also had lower results in our corporate lending business. These results were partly offset by stronger revenues in our commodities business. Our results reflected DVA gains of CHF 34 million compared to DVA losses of CHF 20 million in 1Q11, and fair value losses on Credit Suisse vanilla debt of CHF 43 million compared to fair values losses of CHF 47 million in 1Q11. The revenues included the loss of CHF 115 million relating to a change in estimate in adopting OIS interest rate yield curves in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives.

Equity sales and trading

YoY: Down 26% from CHF 1,723 million to CHF 1,269 million

The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues in cash equities, driven by lower client trading volumes amid market uncertainty and continued macroeconomic concerns, and lower revenues in prime services due to the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, prime services revenues were higher, driven by continued growth in client balances despite subdued levels of hedge fund leverage and activity. In addition, we had lower revenues from fund-linked products and equity arbitrage trading. Our results reflected DVA gains of CHF 29 million, compared to DVA gains of CHF 64 million in 2Q10, and fair value losses on Credit Suisse vanilla debt of CHF 5 million, compared to fair value losses of CHF 6 million in 2Q10.

QoQ: Down 17% from CHF 1,529 million to CHF 1,269 million

The decrease was driven by lower revenues in cash equities, reflecting lower client trading volumes, and weaker derivatives results compared to record revenues in 1Q11. We also had lower revenues in convertibles, equity arbitrage and fund-linked products. This was partly offset by higher prime services revenues. Our results reflected DVA gains of CHF 29 million, compared to DVA losses of CHF 65 million in 1Q11, and fair value losses on Credit Suisse vanilla debt of CHF 5 million in 2Q11 and 1Q11.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: From CHF 17 million to CHF 15 million

The change reflected modest provisions and lower releases and recoveries.

QoQ: From CHF (19) million to CHF 15 million

The change reflected modest provisions and lower releases and recoveries.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Down 28% from CHF 2,014 million to CHF 1,446 million

The decrease mainly reflected the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, compensation and benefits decreased 7%, reflecting lower discretionary performance-related compensation accruals and lower social security taxes on share award deliveries, partially offset by higher salaries.

QoQ: Down 40% from CHF 2,408 million to CHF 1,446 million

The decrease primarily reflected significantly lower discretionary performance-related compensation accruals, lower deferred compensation expense from prior-year share and other awards and lower social security taxes on share award deliveries.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 11% from CHF 933 million to CHF 830 million

The decrease reflected the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, expenses increased 15%, driven by an increase in IT investment costs, litigation expense provisions and small increases across most expense categories.

QoQ: Down 6% from CHF 887 million to CHF 830 million

The decrease reflected the foreign exchange translation impact. In US dollars, expenses were stable, reflecting small increases across most expense categories, offset by a decrease in litigation expense provisions. 1Q11 expenses included charitable contributions in lieu of a portion of discretionary performance-related compensation for certain managing directors in the Americas.

Personnel

Headcount at the end of 2Q11 was 21,300, up 500 from 1Q11, primarily due to the acquisition of the PFS hedge fund administration business of ABN AMRO (formerly Fortis Bank Nederland).

We are implementing headcount reductions in Investment Banking and related support functions as part of cost efficiency initiatives. For further information, refer to I – Credit Suisse results – Core results – Adjusting our cost base.

Asset Management

In 2Q11, we reported income before taxes of CHF 202 million and net revenues of CHF 629 million. Fee-based revenues of CHF 469 million improved compared with 2Q10, reflecting higher performance and placement fees and income from equity participations. We had investment-related gains of CHF 156 million and net new assets of CHF 4.0 billion.

Results overview

In 2Q11, income before taxes was CHF 202 million, up CHF 180 million compared to 2Q10 and up CHF 30 million compared to 1Q11. Net revenues of CHF 629 million were up 25% from 2Q10 and 6% from 1Q11. Net revenues before investment-related gains and securities purchased from our money market funds were CHF 473 million, up 12% compared to 2Q10, reflecting improved results in alternative investments.

Fee-based revenues increased 9% compared to 2Q10. Asset management fees of CHF 313 million were down 12%, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and the spin-off and sale of non-core businesses. Average assets under management decreased 2.0% compared to 2Q10, reflecting adverse foreign exchange-related movements, partially offset by net new assets and positive market performance. Placement, transaction and other fees were 30% higher, primarily reflecting higher private equity placement fees, partially offset by lower real estate transaction fees. Performance fees and carried interest were up CHF 57 million, benefiting from significantly higher semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo and carried interest on realized private equity gains. Equity participations income increased 57%, primarily reflecting higher income from our investments in single manager hedge funds and diversified strategies.

Investment-related gains were CHF 156 million, up CHF 113 million compared with 2Q10, including realized and unrealized gains in private equity investments in the healthcare and energy sectors. Investment-related gains were adversely impacted by the foreign exchange translation impact.

Other revenues decreased CHF 26 million, primarily reflecting gains in 2Q10 from securities purchased from our money market funds.

Total operating expenses of CHF 427 million were down 11% compared to 2Q10. Compensation and benefits decreased 14%, primarily due to the foreign exchange translation impact. General and administrative expenses were down 3%, due to the foreign exchange translation impact. The decline in total operating expenses also reflected the sale and spin-off of non-core businesses. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total operating expenses increased slightly.

Compared to 1Q11, income before taxes was up 17%. Net revenues were up 6% and fee-based revenues up 6%, primarily reflecting semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo and higher placement fees. Investment-related gains decreased 3% and net revenues before investment-related gains were up 10%. Total operating expenses were up 2%, reflecting higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits, which reflected the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Average assets under management were stable.

Results in 2Q11 were impacted by the weakening of the average rate of the US dollar and euro against the Swiss franc compared to 1Q11 and 2Q10, which adversely affected revenues and favorably impacted expenses. Compared to 2Q10, the adverse impact on net revenues and income before taxes was CHF 102 million and CHF 27 million, respectively.

Assets under management were CHF 422 billion, down 3% compared to 1Q11, with adverse foreign exchange-related movements and negative market performance partially offset by net new assets. Net new assets of CHF 4.0 billion included net inflows of CHF 2.8 billion in traditional investments, mainly in multi-asset class solutions, and CHF 1.5 billion in alternative investments, as inflows in real estate and commodities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were partially offset by realizations in private equity and outflows in fixed income in our Brazilian business. Compared to 2Q10, assets under management were stable, with adverse foreign exchange-related movements mostly offset by net new assets and positive market performance.

Performance indicators

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 2Q11 results versus 2Q10 (YoY) and versus 1Q11 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Asset management fees

YoY: Down 12% from CHF 357 million to CHF 313 million

The decrease primarily resulted from lower fees in alternative investments. The decline in alternative investments fees primarily reflected the foreign exchange translation impact, the spin-off of our real estate private equity fund and our credit hedge fund at the end of 3Q10, fund of hedge funds redemptions and net asset value decreases in single manager hedge funds, partially offset by asset growth in index strategies and emerging markets. Diversified investments fees decreased mainly due to lower fees from fund administration services, reflecting the end of our transitional agreement with Aberdeen. Traditional investments fees were stable as higher fees from asset inflows in multi-asset class solutions were offset by adverse foreign exchange translation impacts.

QoQ: Down 4% from CHF 327 million to CHF 313 million

The decrease was primarily due to lower fees from alternative investments, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and net asset value decreases in single manager hedge funds, partially offset by higher fees in credit strategies. Fees from diversified strategies and traditional investments were stable.

Placement, transaction and other fees

YoY: Up 30% from CHF 46 million to CHF 60 million

The increase primarily reflected higher private equity placement fees and higher fees on investments held by AMF, partially offset by lower transaction fees from real estate funds and lower revenues from integrated solutions.

QoQ: Up 20% from CHF 50 million to CHF 60 million

The increase primarily reflected higher private equity placement fees, losses in 1Q11 on investments held by AMF and slightly higher revenues from integrated solutions.

Performance fees and carried interest

YoY: Up from CHF 3 million to CHF 60 million

The increase was mainly due to significantly higher semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo and higher carried interest from realized private equity gains in alternative investments and higher performance fees from diversified investments, mainly reflecting a claw-back of performance fees in 2Q10 relating to management of the PAF.

QoQ: Up 76% from CHF 34 million to CHF 60 million

The increase was mainly due to semi-annual performance fees from Hedging-Griffo, partly offset by lower performance fees from diversified investments relating to management of the PAF.

Equity participations income

YoY: Up 57% from CHF 23 million to CHF 36 million

The increase was due to higher income in single manager hedge fund participations and in diversified strategies.

QoQ: Up 13% from CHF 32 million to CHF 36 million

The increase was mainly due to higher income in single manager hedge fund participations. Diversified strategies was stable.

Investment-related gains/(losses)

YoY: Up 263% from CHF 43 million to CHF 156 million

In 2Q11, we had realized and unrealized gains in private equity investments, mainly in the healthcare, energy, retail and commodity sectors, partially offset by unrealized losses in the technology sector. In 2Q10, we had unrealized gains in private equity investments, mainly in the energy and industrial sectors, and in credit-related investments, partially offset by unrealized losses in private equity, mainly in public investments in the technology sector. Investment-related gains were adversely impacted by the foreign exchange translation impact.

QoQ: Down 3% from CHF 160 million to CHF 156 million

In 2Q11, we had realized and unrealized gains in private equity investments, mainly in the healthcare, energy, retail and commodity sectors, partially offset by unrealized losses in the technology sector. In 1Q11, we had realized and unrealized gains in private equity investments, mainly in the commodity, industrial, energy and real estate sectors, and in credit-related investments.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Down 14% from CHF 289 million to CHF 249 million

The decrease was due to the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, compensation and benefits increased due to higher performance-related compensation accruals, partially offset by lower social security taxes on share award deliveries and slightly lower salaries. The decline included the sale and spin-off of non-core businesses.

QoQ: Down 4% from CHF 260 million to CHF 249 million

The decrease was due to the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, compensation and benefits increased due to higher performance-related compensation accruals and deferred compensation from prior-year awards, partially offset by lower social security taxes on share award deliveries and slightly lower salaries.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 3% from CHF 148 million to CHF 144 million

The decrease was due to the favorable foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, general and administrative expenses increased, primarily reflecting higher professional fees.

QoQ: Up 15% from CHF 125 million to CHF 144 million

The increase mainly reflected higher professional fees.

Personnel

Headcount at the end of 2Q11 was 2,800, unchanged from 1Q11 and 2Q10.

Assets under management

We had strong net new assets of CHF 14.3 billion and assets under management of CHF 1,233.3 billion as of the end of 2Q11.

Assets under management

Assets under management comprise assets which are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets.

Discretionary assets are assets for which the customer fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the segment in which the advice is provided as well as in the segment in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by Asset Management for Private Banking clients are reported in both segments and eliminated at Group level.

Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.

Assets under management and net new assets include assets managed by consolidated entities, joint ventures and strategic participations. Assets from joint ventures and participations are counted in proportion to our share in the respective entity.

As of the end of 2Q11, assets under management were CHF 1,233.3 billion, down CHF 49.1 billion, or 3.8%, compared to the end of 1Q11, mainly reflecting adverse foreign exchange-related movements, partly offset by net new assets. Compared to the end of 2Q10, assets under management were stable. Positive market performance and net new assets in both Private Banking and Asset Management were offset by adverse foreign exchange-related movements.

In Private Banking, assets under management were CHF 919.1 billion, down CHF 38.8 billion, or 4.1%, compared to the end of 1Q11, and stable compared to the end of 2Q10. In Asset Management, assets under management were CHF 421.7 billion, down CHF 14.1 billion, or 3.2%, compared to the end of 1Q11, and stable compared to the end of 2Q10.

Net new assets

Net new assets include individual cash payments, security deliveries and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments. Interest and dividend income credited to clients, commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are not included as they do not reflect success in acquiring assets under management. Furthermore, changes due to foreign exchange-related and market movements as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of net new assets.

Private Banking recorded net new assets of CHF 11.5 billion in 2Q11 from Wealth Management Clients, with broad inflows in both Swiss and international businesses. Asset Management recorded net new assets of CHF 4.0 billion, with inflows mainly in traditional investments.

Client assets

Client assets is a broader measure than assets under management as it includes transactional and custody accounts (assets held solely for transaction-related or safekeeping/custody purposes) and assets of corporate clients and public institutions used primarily for cash management or transaction-related purposes.

Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet

Treasury management

Risk management

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet

Treasury management

We continued to conservatively manage our liquidity and funding position, and our capital position remained strong with a BIS tier 1 ratio of 18.2% as of the end of 2Q11.

Liquidity and funding management

Securities for funding and capital purposes are issued primarily by the Bank, our principal operating subsidiary and a US registrant. The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to support business initiatives. For further information on the liquidity principles agreed with FINMA, the liquidity and capital standards under the Basel III framework, the report of the Swiss Expert Commission on “Too Big to Fail” issues relating to big banks, and the revisions to the Basel II market risk framework (Basel II.5), refer to Regulatory capital developments and proposals and III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Liquidity risk management

Our internal liquidity risk management framework has been subject to review and monitoring by regulators and rating agencies for many years. Our liquidity and funding policy is designed to ensure that funding is available to meet all obligations in times of stress, whether caused by market events or issues specific to Credit Suisse. We achieve this due to a conservative asset/liability management strategy aimed at maintaining a funding structure with long-term wholesale and stable deposit funding and cash well in excess of illiquid assets. To address short-term liquidity stress, we maintain a buffer of cash and highly liquid securities that covers unexpected needs of short-term liquidity. Our liquidity risk parameters reflect various liquidity stress assumptions, which we believe are conservative. We manage our liquidity profile at a sufficient level such that, in the event that we are unable to access unsecured funding, we will have sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for an extended period of time well in excess of our minimum target. In response to regulatory requirements, our unsecured long-term debt and liquid assets reflect amounts greater than required for funding our businesses.

The impact of a one, two or three-notch downgrade in the Bank’s long-term debt ratings would result in additional collateral requirements or assumed termination payments under certain derivative instruments of CHF 1.9 billion, CHF 3.7 billion and CHF 4.2 billion, respectively, as of 2Q11, and would not be material to our liquidity and funding planning. As of the end of 2Q11, we were compliant with the requirements related to maintaining a specific credit rating under these derivative instruments.

In 2010, we implemented revised liquidity principles agreed with FINMA, following its consultation with the Swiss National Bank, to ensure that the Group and the Bank have adequate holdings on a consolidated basis of liquid, unencumbered, high-quality securities available in a crisis situation for designated periods of time. The principles aim to ensure we can meet our financial obligations in an extreme scenario for a minimum of 30 days and call for additional reporting to FINMA. The principles may be modified to reflect the final BCBS liquidity requirements.

In December 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR). The LCR, which is expected to be introduced January 1, 2015 following an observation period beginning in 2011, addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The NSFR, which is expected to be introduced January 1, 2018 following an observation period beginning in 2012, establishes criteria for a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity of a bank’s assets and activities over a one-year horizon.

Our liquidity risk management framework and our revised liquidity principles with FINMA are in line with the Basel III liquidity framework. For further information on the liquidity principles agreed with FINMA and the liquidity standards under the Basel III framework, refer to III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Liquidity and funding management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Funding sources and uses

We primarily fund our balance sheet through long-term debt, shareholders’ equity and core customer deposits. A substantial portion of our balance sheet is match funded and requires no unsecured funding. Match funded balance sheet items consist of assets and liabilities with close to equal liquidity durations and values so that the liquidity and funding generated or required by the positions are substantially equivalent. Cash and due from banks is highly liquid. A significant part of our assets, principally unencumbered trading assets that support the securities business, is comprised of securities inventories and collateralized receivables, which fluctuate and are generally liquid. These liquid assets are available to settle short-term liabilities. These assets include our buffer of CHF 145 billion of cash, securities accepted under central bank facilities and other highly liquid unencumbered securities, which can be monetized in a time frame consistent with our short-term stress assumptions. Our buffer decreased slightly compared to 1Q11 due to the foreign exchange translation impact. Loans, which comprise the largest component of our illiquid assets, are funded by our core customer deposits, with excess coverage of 22% as of 2Q11. We fund other illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments and a haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, where we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer. For further information, refer to the chart “Balance sheet funding structure”.

Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 263 billion as of 2Q11, stable compared to 1Q11, as an increase in deposits was offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. Core customer deposits are from clients with whom we have a broad and longstanding relationship. Core customer deposits exclude deposits from banks and certificates of deposits. We place a priority on maintaining and growing customer deposits, as they have proved to be a stable and resilient source of funding even in difficult market conditions. Our core customer deposit funding is supplemented by the issuance of long-term debt. The percentage of unsecured funding from long-term debt, excluding non-recourse debt associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs), was 27% as of the end of 2Q11, compared to 28% in 1Q11.

The weighted average maturity of long-term debt was 6.6 years (including certificates of deposits with a maturity of one year or longer, but excluding structured notes, and assuming callable securities are redeemed at final maturity or in 2030 for instruments without a stated final maturity).

Debt issuances and redemptions

Our capital markets debt issuance includes issues of senior and subordinated debt in US-registered offerings and medium-term note programs, euro market medium-term note programs, Australian dollar domestic medium-term note programs, a Samurai shelf registration statement in Japan and covered bond programs. As a global bank, we have access to multiple markets worldwide and our major funding operations include Zurich, New York, London and Tokyo.

We use a wide range of products and currencies to ensure that our funding is efficient and well diversified across markets and investor types. Substantially all of our unsecured senior debt is issued without financial covenants that could trigger an increase of our cost of financing or accelerate the maturity of the debt, including adverse changes in our credit ratings, cash flows, results of operations or financial ratios.

In 2Q11, the Bank issued CHF 842 million of covered bonds with a five-year maturity in the US and CHF 196 million of domestic covered bonds with maturities ranging between five and 20 years. Senior debt of CHF 3.0 billion and domestic covered bonds of CHF 650 million matured in 2Q11.

Capital management

Our BIS tier 1 ratio was stable at 18.2% as of the end of 2Q11, compared to the end of 1Q11, reflecting decreased tier 1 capital and decreased risk-weighted assets (RWAs). Our core tier 1 ratio increased to 13.1% as of the end of 2Q11 compared 13.0% as of the end of 1Q11.

Our capital management framework is intended to ensure that there is sufficient capital to support our underlying risks and to achieve management’s regulatory and credit rating objectives. Since January 1, 2008, Credit Suisse has operated under the international capital adequacy standards known as Basel II set forth by the BCBS as implemented by FINMA (Basel II “Swiss finish”). These standards affect the measurement of both RWAs and eligible capital.

Under this regulatory capital framework, tier 1 capital consists of shareholders’ equity, qualifying noncontrolling interests and hybrid tier 1 capital, and RWAs are determined under Basel II. For further information on this regulatory capital framework and the related BIS tier 1 ratios for the Group and the Bank, refer to III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Capital management – Capital structure–Basel II “Swiss finish” in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010 and to the charts “Capital structure – Basel II “Swiss Finish”” and “Risk-weighted assets and capital ratios”.

Beginning in 2011, we implemented the Basel II market risk framework (Basel II.5) for FINMA regulatory capital purposes. The BCBS requires the implementation of Basel II.5 for BIS purposes no later than December 31, 2011. In December 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and new conservation and countercyclical buffers, requiring more capital in the form of common equity. In October 2010, the Swiss Expert Commission proposed capital requirements based on Basel III but which go beyond its minimum standards and the current “Swiss finish”. For more information on the Basel III capital requirements and the proposed Expert Commission capital requirements, which are not yet enacted into law, refer to Regulatory capital developments and proposals and III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Regulatory capital developments and proposals in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Within the Basel II.5 framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, we implemented new risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge and stressed VaR. The incremental risk charge is a regulatory capital charge for default and migration risk on positions in the trading books and is intended to complement additional standards being applied to the VaR modeling framework, including stressed VaR. Stressed VaR replicates a VaR calculation on the Group’s current portfolio taking into account a one-year observation period relating to significant financial stress (currently 4Q08 through 3Q09) and helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk. In 2Q11, there was an increase in Basel II.5 market risk RWAs primarily due to an increase in stressed VaR. For further information on VaR methodology changes, refer to Risk Management – Market Risk.

Under FINMA requirements that impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception over ten in the prior rolling 12-month period, we had no backtesting exceptions in 2Q11 and, consequently, the market risk capital multipliers remained at the FINMA and BIS minimum levels. For the purposes of this charge, backtesting exceptions are calculated using a subset of actual daily trading revenues that includes only the impact of daily movements in financial market variables such as interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates on the previous night’s positions.

1    The methodology for calculating the core tier 1 capital and the core tier 1 ratio was revised in January 2011, whereby "Capital deductions 50% from tier 1" was reclassified from tier 1 capital into core tier 1 capital.   2    Group 2Q11: includes cumulative fair value adjustments of CHF (0.7) billion on own debt and structured notes, net of tax, the 6M11 dividend accrual on Group shares of CHF (0.8) billion and an adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans of CHF 2.7 billion.   3    Non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities and capital notes. The FINMA has advised that the Group and the Bank may continue to include as tier 1 capital CHF 1.0 billion and CHF 2.8 billion, respectively, in 2Q11 (1Q11: CHF 1.1 billion and CHF 3.1 billion, respectively; 4Q10: CHF 1.1 billion and CHF 3.1 billion, respectively) of equity from special purpose entities that are deconsolidated under US GAAP. Hybrid tier 1 capital represented 27.3% and 28.8% of the Group's and the Bank's adjusted tier 1 capital, respectively, as of the end of 2Q11 (1Q11: 27.6% and 29.2%, respectively; 4Q10: 28.6% and 29.1%, respectively). Under the decree with the FINMA, a maximum of 35% of tier 1 capital can be in the form of these hybrid capital instruments, which will be phased out under Basel III.

Regulatory capital – Group

The tier 1 ratio was stable compared to 1Q11, reflecting a 4% decrease in tier 1 capital and a 4% decrease in RWAs.

Tier 1 capital decreased to CHF 37.1 billion as of the end of 2Q11. The decrease was driven by the adverse foreign exchange translation impact, a dividend accrual in the quarter and an accrual for the value of the put option to purchase certain redeemable noncontrolling interests, partially offset by net income (excluding the impact of fair value gains/(losses) on Credit Suisse debt, net of tax) and the net effect of share-based compensation, treasury share purchases and sales and a gain on financial instruments indexed to own shares.

Total eligible capital decreased 4% to CHF 48.1 billion from 1Q11. Tier 2 capital decreased 6% to CHF 11.0 billion, primarily due to the adverse foreign exchange translation impact and the regulatory amortization of lower tier 2 instruments, partially offset by fair value gains and a decrease in regulatory deductions.

RWAs decreased 4% to CHF 203.7 billion as of the end of 2Q11, primarily reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, RWAs increased slightly due to an increase in credit risk, primarily in Private Banking, partially offset by a decrease in market risk in Investment Banking. The increase in credit risk in Private Banking reflected an increase relating to a change in parameters and an increase in lending. The decrease in market risk in Investment Banking reflected the sale of market making inventory in securitized products.

For further information regarding market risk, refer to Risk management – Market risk.

Our total capital ratio decreased to 23.6% as of the end of 2Q11 compared to 23.7% as of the end of 1Q11, reflecting the decrease in eligible capital and the decrease in RWAs. For further information, refer to the table “BIS statistics”.

As of the end of 2Q11, we had CHF 3.5 billion of qualifying noncontrolling interests, of which CHF 3.2 billion were core tier 1 capital securities secured by participation securities issued by the Bank, and CHF 10.4 billion of tier 1 capital hybrid instruments, of which CHF 2.7 billion were innovative instruments. The tier 1 capital hybrid instruments include USD 3.45 billion 11% tier 1 capital notes and CHF 2.5 billion 10% tier 1 capital notes that will be purchased or exchanged for an aggregate of CHF 5.4 billion of tier 1 buffer capital notes no earlier than October 23, 2013, the first call date of the tier 1 capital notes.

The “Risk-weighted assets” chart illustrates the main types of balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures that translate into market, credit, operational and non-counterparty-risk RWAs. Market risk RWAs reflect the capital requirements of potential changes in the fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements inherent in both the balance sheet and the off-balance sheet items. Credit risk RWAs reflect the capital requirements for the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of a deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty. Operational risk RWAs reflect the capital requirements for the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Non-counterparty-risk RWAs primarily reflect the capital requirements for our premises and equipment.

It is not the nominal size, but the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the RWAs. For further information, refer to Regulatory capital developments and proposals.

Shareholders’ equity

Our total shareholders’ equity decreased CHF 2.8 billion to CHF 31.2 billion as of the end of 2Q11 from CHF 34.1 billion as of the end of 1Q11. The decrease in total shareholders’ equity was primarily due to a decrease in other comprehensive income due to the adverse impact of foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments, the cash dividend payment and an accrual for the put option to purchase certain redeemable noncontrolling interests, partially offset by net income in 2Q11 and the net effect of share-based compensation, treasury share purchases and sales and the gain on financial instruments indexed to own shares.

Regulatory capital developments and proposals

In December 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and new conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. The framework is designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector. The new capital standards and capital buffers will require banks to hold more capital, mainly in the form of common equity. The new capital standards will be phased in from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019. In June 2011, the BCBS agreed to measures for globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). These measures include the methodology for assessing systemic importance and commensurate additional capital requirements (between 1% and 2.5% common equity tier 1 (CET1)). This progressive capital buffer will be phased in with the capital conservation buffer from the beginning of 2016 through the end of 2018. For more information, refer to the table “BCBS Basel III phase-in arrangements”. The BCBS agreement was adopted by the G-20 nations in November 2010. Each G-20 nation will now need to implement the rules, and stricter or different requirements may be adopted by any G-20 nation.

In early October 2010, the Expert Commission appointed by the Swiss Federal Council released its report with recommendations on how to address the “Too Big to Fail” issues relating to big banks. The recommendations include capital and liquidity requirements and proposals regarding risk diversification and emergency plans designed to maintain systemically important functions even in the event of threatened insolvency. The recommendations on capital requirements build on Basel III, but go beyond its minimum standards and the current “Swiss finish”. In December 2010, the Swiss Federal Council made a submission for legislative proposals to amend the Banking Act in 2011 based on a report by the Expert Commission.

The Expert Commission recommended that the Swiss capital requirements track the phase in of the Basel III requirements. If enacted into law, the Group and the Bank would be required to have common equity of at least 10% of RWAs and contingent capital or other qualifying capital of another 9% of RWAs by January 1, 2019. These recommended requirements may change depending on our market share and balance sheet size and the terms of the requirements enacted into law by the Swiss Parliament.

In April 2011, the Swiss Federal Council published its proposals for “Too Big to Fail” legislation, addressing the risks to the Swiss economy arising from systemically important financial institutions. The legislation would require each such institution to maintain a significantly higher amount of capital (19% of RWAs, in line with the Expert Commission proposal) than required under Basel III and, in the case of a threatened insolvency, assure the continuance of its systemically relevant functions in Switzerland. In June 2011, the Council of States of the Swiss Parliament passed the proposals of the Federal Council. It is expected that the Swiss National Council will deliberate this proposal in its autumn session. If both chambers agree to the proposals, then the “Too Big to Fail” legislation may begin to be implemented as early as January 2012. Credit Suisse believes that it can meet the new requirements within the prescribed time frame by building capital through earnings and by issuing contingent capital or other instruments that qualify for the buffer and progressive capital components.

For more information, refer to the chart “Comparison of capital requirement frameworks”, III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management – Regulatory capital developments and proposals in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010 and Capital Management – Capital issuances.

In June 2010, the BCBS announced its decision to postpone the implementation of the revisions to the Basel II market risk framework (Basel II.5) to no later than December 31, 2011. On November 10, 2010, the Swiss Federal Council decided to follow the proposal of FINMA and implement the revisions to the Basel II market risk framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes by the original implementation date of January 2011. The Basel II.5 revisions include an incremental risk charge, for default and migration risk, and a stressed VaR framework, which are reflected in RWAs. The implementation of the Basel II.5 revisions for FINMA capital purposes increased our RWAs as of the end of 2Q11 by CHF 34.9 billion and reduced tier 1 capital as of the end of 2Q11 by CHF 2.5 billion, resulting in a core tier 1 ratio of 10.2% under Basel II.5. This Basel II.5 impact mainly related to the Investment Banking securitized products business. For management purposes, the Group allocates to the divisions RWA equivalents related to regulatory capital and certain intangible asset deductions from Group tier 1 capital (refer to the table “Basel II.5 risk-weighted assets and allocated deductions”). In 2Q11, we revised our estimate of the RWA increase from the combined impact of Basel II.5 and Basel III from approximately CHF 400 billion to CHF 355 billion to reflect the foreign exchange impact from the strengthening of the Swiss franc against most major currencies. We expect substantially all of the combined Basel II.5 and Basel III RWA increase to be in securitized products, rates, credit, equity derivatives and emerging markets businesses in Investment Banking on January 1, 2013, before mitigation. We expect to mitigate this increase by reducing RWAs by approximately CHF 45 billion to CHF 65 billion in securitized products, exit businesses, derivatives and emerging markets in Investment Banking. In addition, our CET1 ratio simulation as of January 1, 2013 assumes that, of the compensation expense included in the consensus earnings, management expects CHF 2.0 billion to be share-based compensation that will be settled with shares issued from conditional capital.

Economic capital

Overview

Economic capital is used as a consistent and comprehensive tool for risk management, capital management and performance measurement. Economic capital measures risks in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules and is the estimated capital needed to remain solvent and in business, even under extreme market, business and operational conditions, given our target financial strength (our long-term credit rating).

For further information, refer to III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Treasury management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

We regularly review the economic capital methodology in order to ensure that the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. In 2Q11, there were no methodology changes.

We are assessing the implications for the economic capital framework and the economic capital coverage ratio definition of the implementation of Basel II.5 and Basel III. For further information, refer to Regulatory capital developments and proposals.

Utilized economic capital trends

In 2Q11, our utilized economic capital decreased 9% compared to 1Q11, mainly from the US dollar translation impact. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital decreased 4%.

For Private Banking, utilized economic capital decreased 2%, primarily due to lower interest rate risk on treasury positions and lower emerging market country event risk, partially offset by an increase in private banking corporate & retail lending exposures.

For Investment Banking, utilized economic capital decreased 8%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital decreased 2%, mainly due to lower interest rate risk on treasury positions and lower fixed income trading position risk, primarily driven by lower credit spread exposures. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in real estate & structured assets, international lending & counterparty position risk and emerging markets country event risk.

For Asset Management, utilized economic capital decreased 6%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, utilized economic capital decreased 1%, mainly due to a decrease in interest rate risk on treasury positions, partially offset by an increase in equity trading & investments position risk.

For Corporate Center, lower utilized economic capital reflected a decrease in foreign exchange risk between utilized economic capital and economic capital resources.

For further information on our position risk, refer to Risk management – Key position risk trends.

Capital adequacy trends

The economic capital coverage ratio increased to 136% in 2Q11 from 133% in 1Q11, primarily reflecting lower utilized economic capital, partially offset by lower economic capital resources. The reduction in utilized economic capital was mainly driven by the US dollar translation impact. The reduction in economic capital resources was due to a decrease in tier 1 capital and a decrease in economic adjustments driven by the payment of the 2010 dividend. Our coverage ratio is within our target band of 110% to 140%.

Risk management

Our overall position risk decreased 6% in 2Q11. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk increased 1%. We received approval from FINMA to implement a revised VaR methodology, including revisions to make VaR more responsive to recent market data and volatility. Under this revised methodology, average risk management VaR decreased 9% to CHF 70 million in 2Q11 and period-end risk management VaR was unchanged at CHF 71 million. In US dollar terms, average risk management VaR decreased 1%.

Economic capital and position risk

Position risk, which is a component of the economic capital framework, is our core Group-wide risk management tool. It is used to assess, monitor and report risk exposures throughout the Group and represents good market practice. Position risk is the level of unexpected loss in economic value on our portfolio of positions over a one-year horizon, which is exceeded with a given small probability (1% for risk management purposes and 0.03% for capital management purposes).

For further information, refer to III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Economic capital and position risk in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

We regularly review the economic capital methodology to ensure that the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. There were no changes to the economic capital methodology in 2Q11.

Key position risk trends

Position risk for risk management purposes at the end of 2Q11 decreased 6% compared to the end of 1Q11, due to the US dollar translation impact. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk increased 1%, mainly due to: increased real estate & structured assets from reduced hedges and increased CMBS and RMBS exposure; international lending & counterparty exposures from higher loan exposures in leveraged finance and derivative exposures in Investment Banking; and equity trading & investments from higher single manager hedge funds and traded equity positions. The increases were partially offset by lower fixed income trading risk, primarily driven by lower credit spread exposures due to increased hedging and lower foreign exchange exposures.

Compared to the end of 2Q10, position risk for risk management purposes decreased 25%, mainly due to the US dollar translation impact. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk decreased 7%, primarily due to significantly lower fixed income trading following a reduction in credit spread and foreign exchange exposures, and lower private banking corporate & retail lending, due to updated loan default and recovery parameters. The decrease was partially offset by higher international lending & counterparty exposures from loan and derivative exposures, and real estate & structured assets exposures, from non-agency RMBS, in Investment Banking.

As part of our overall risk management, we hold a portfolio of hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements similar to other trading securities and may result in gains or losses which offset losses or gains on the portfolio they were designated to hedge. Due to the varying nature and structure of hedges, these gains or losses may not perfectly offset the losses or gains on the portfolio.

Market risk

We primarily assume market risk through the trading activities in Investment Banking. The other divisions also engage in trading activities, but to a much lesser extent. Trading risks are measured using VaR along with a number of other risk measurement tools. VaR is the potential loss in fair value of trading positions due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon and for a specified confidence level. VaR relies on historical data and is considered a useful tool for estimating potential loss in normal markets in which there are no abrupt changes in market conditions. Other tools, including stress testing, are more appropriate for modeling the impact from severe market conditions. We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio.

We implemented new risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge and stressed VaR, to meet the Basel II.5 market risk framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes effective January 1, 2011. The incremental risk charge is a regulatory capital charge for default and migration risk on positions in the trading books and intended to complement additional standards being applied to the VaR modeling framework, including stressed VaR. Stressed VaR replicates a VaR calculation on the Group’s current portfolio taking into account a one-year observation period relating to significant financial stress and helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk.

As part of the ongoing review to improve risk management approaches and methodologies, we implemented a significantly revised VaR methodology for both risk management and regulatory VaR in 2Q11. We use the same VaR model for risk management and regulatory capital purposes (using a ten-day holding period and a 99% confidence level for regulatory capital purposes). We believe these changes make VaR a more useful risk management tool and improve the responsiveness of the model to market volatility. We have approval from FINMA to use this revised VaR methodology for both risk management and regulatory capital purposes. We have restated risk management VaR for prior periods to show meaningful trends. The methodology changes were implemented in June 2011 and are fully reflected in average risk management VaR and are only reflected in average regulatory VaR for 2Q11 from implementation. The revisions to the VaR methodology include:

– Historical dataset changed to two years (from three years);

– Exponential weighting to give emphasis to more recent market data and volatility (from equal weighting of market data and the use of scaled VaR);

– Expected shortfall calculation based on average losses (from using losses from a single event);

– One-day holding period for risk management VaR (from a ten-day holding period adjusted to one day, with regulatory VaR continuing to be based on a ten-day holding period); and

– Confidence level changed to 98% for risk management VaR (from 99%, with regulatory VaR continuing to be based on a 99% confidence level).

In addition, we also made asset-class methodology changes, including changing the non-investment grade model to a spread-based rather than a price-based model to better capture issuer-specific basis and maturity risk and modifying the traded loans model to better capture basis risk. We also implemented a single stock volatility model to better capture equity exposures.

For risk management VaR, we use a one-day holding period based on a 98% confidence level. This means there is a 1-in-50 chance of incurring a daily mark-to-market trading loss at least as large as the reported VaR. For regulatory VaR, we present one-day, 99% VaR, which is ten-day 99% VaR adjusted to a one-day holding period. This means there is a 1-in-100 chance of incurring a daily mark-to-market trading loss at least as large as the reported VaR. In order to show the aggregate market risk in our trading books, the chart entitled “Daily risk management VaR” shows the trading-related market risk on a consolidated basis.

1    As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit.   2    Excluding the methodology changes, average 99% risk management VaR would have been CHF 81 million, CHF 92 million and CHF 116 million and period-end 99% risk management VaR would have been CHF 75 million, CHF 84 million and CHF 157 million in 2Q11, 1Q11 and 2Q10, respectively.   3    Excluding the methodology changes, average, minimum and period-end regulatory VaR would have been CHF 116 million, CHF 80 million and CHF 108 million, respectively, in 2Q11.

Average risk management VaR decreased 9% to CHF 70 million from 1Q11. In US dollar terms, average risk management VaR decreased 1% from 1Q11, reflecting decreased interest rate & credit spread risk, mostly offset by increased equity risk and decreased diversification benefit. Compared to 2Q10, average risk management VaR in Swiss francs decreased 25%, primarily reflecting the US dollar translation impact, and in US dollars decreased 4% from 2Q10, reflecting decreased interest rate & credit spread risk due to reductions in the volatility included in the two-year dataset used to calculate VaR.

Excluding the methodology changes, average risk management VaR decreased 12% to CHF 81 million from 1Q11.

Period-end risk management VaR as of the end of 2Q11 was unchanged at CHF 71 million from the end of 1Q11, and decreased 42% from the end of 2Q10. In US dollar terms, period-end risk management VaR increased 10% from the end of 1Q11, and decreased 25% from the end of 2Q10. The increase in period-end risk management VaR in US dollar terms from 1Q11 reflected a decrease in diversification benefit, partially offset by decreased foreign exchange risk.

In 2Q11, average regulatory VaR was CHF 111 million, a decrease of 16% from 1Q11. Average regulatory VaR decreased 26% from 2Q10.

Period-end regulatory VaR decreased 53% to CHF 56 million from the end of 1Q11 due to the change in methodology. Period-end regulatory VaR decreased 71% from the end of 2Q10, due to the change in methodology, primarily from the change in dataset to two years from three years (which excludes data from the 2008 financial crisis).

Excluding the methodology changes, period-end regulatory VaR decreased 10% to CHF 108 million from 1Q11.

1    As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit.   2    Excluding the methodology changes, average 99% risk management VaR would have been USD 93 million, USD 98 million and USD 105 million and period-end 99% risk management VaR would have been USD 90 million, USD 91 million and USD 145 million in 2Q11, 1Q11 and 2Q10, respectively.   3    Excluding the methodology changes, average, minimum and period-end regulatory VaR would have been USD 132 million, USD 95 million and USD 129 million, respectively, in 2Q11.

Various techniques are used to assess the accuracy of the VaR models, including backtesting. In line with industry practice, we present backtesting using actual daily trading revenues. Actual daily trading revenues are compared with regulatory 99% VaR calculated using a one-day holding period. A backtesting exception occurs when the trading revenue loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate. We had no regulatory VaR backtesting exceptions during 2Q11. The histogram entitled “Actual daily trading revenues” compares the actual daily trading revenues for 2Q11 with those for 1Q11 and 2Q10. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. For further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements, refer to Treasury management – Capital management.

We assume non-trading interest rate risk through interest rate-sensitive positions originated by Private Banking and risk-transferred to Treasury, money market and funding activities by Treasury and the deployment of our consolidated equity as well as other activities, including market making and trading activities involving banking book positions at the divisions, primarily Investment Banking. Savings accounts and many other retail banking products have no contractual maturity date or direct market-linked interest rate and are risk-transferred from Private Banking to Treasury on a pooled basis using replicating portfolios (approximating the re-pricing behavior of the underlying product). Treasury and other desks running interest rate risk positions actively manage the positions within approved limits.

The impact of a one basis point parallel increase of the yield curves on the fair value of interest rate-sensitive non-trading book positions would have amounted to a valuation increase of CHF 7.9 million as of the end of 2Q11, compared to a valuation increase of CHF 7.0 million as of the end of 1Q11.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations. In the event of a default, a bank generally incurs a loss equal to the amount owed by the debtor, less any recoveries resulting from foreclosure, liquidation of collateral or the restructuring of the debtor company.

The majority of our credit risk is concentrated in Private Banking and Investment Banking. Credit risk exists within lending products, commitments and letters of credit, and results from counterparty exposure arising from derivatives, foreign exchange and other transactions and may be on or off-balance sheet.

Our regular review of the creditworthiness of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment. Adverse changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties of loans held at fair value are reflected in valuation changes reported directly in revenues, and therefore are not part of the impaired loans balance. For further information on credit risk, refer to III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Credit risk in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010. For further information on counterparty credit risk, refer to Note 26 – Financial instruments in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited.

The following table represents credit risk from loans, loan commitments and certain other contingent liabilities, loans held-for-sale, traded loans and derivative instruments before consideration of risk mitigation such as cash collateral and marketable securities or credit hedges. Loan commitments include irrevocable credit facilities for Investment Banking and Private Banking and unused credit limits which can be revoked at our sole discretion upon notice to the client in Private Banking.

Selected European credit risk exposures

The following table presents our risk-based credit risk exposure to selected European countries as of the end of 2Q11.

On a gross basis, before taking into account collateral and CDS hedges, our risk-based sovereign credit risk exposure to Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain as of the end of 2Q11 was EUR 2.6 billion. Our net exposure to these sovereigns was EUR 0.4 billion. Our non-sovereign risk-based credit risk exposure in these countries as of the end of 2Q11 included net exposure to financial institutions of EUR 1.5 billion and to corporates and other counterparties of EUR 2.2 billion, respectively.

Loan exposure

Compared to the end of 1Q11, gross loans decreased CHF 2.5 billion to CHF 221.0 billion. In Private Banking, gross loans were stable at CHF 187.4 billion as a slight increase in lending, mainly residential mortgages and consumer finance, was offset by the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc. Gross loans in Investment Banking decreased 9% to CHF 33.6 billion, primarily due to the US dollar translation impact and lower commercial and industrial loans.

Gross impaired loans decreased 4% to CHF 1.6 billion due to a 9% decrease in Private Banking, mainly from certain repayments and write-offs, partially offset by an increase of 8% in Investment Banking, primarily due to new impaired loans. The US dollar translation impact was significant both in Private Banking and Investment Banking. A portion of the impaired loans in Investment Banking is economically hedged by insurance and other risk mitigation, including credit default swaps (CDS).

We recorded a net provision for credit losses of CHF 13 million in 2Q11, compared to a net release of CHF 7 million in 1Q11, as a net provision of CHF 15 million in Investment Banking was partially offset by a net release of provision of CHF 2 million in Private Banking. For further information, refer to II – Results by division – Private Banking and Investment Banking.

Compared to the end of 2Q10, gross loans decreased 3%, as a decrease in Investment Banking, primarily due to the US dollar translation impact, was partially offset by a slight increase in Private Banking. In Investment Banking, in addition to the US dollar translation impact, gross loans decreased primarily in commercial & industrial loans and in loans to governments and public institutions, partially offset by higher loans to financial institutions. The increase of gross loans of 2% in Private Banking was primarily due to higher consumer loans, offset by lower exposure to financial institutions. Gross impaired loans decreased CHF 335 million, or 17%, driven by lower non-performing and restructured loans in Investment Banking and lower non-performing and non-interest-earning loans in Private Banking.

Balance sheet

Total assets were CHF 976.9 billion as of the end of 2Q11, down CHF 39.5 billion, or 4%, from the end of 1Q11, primarily driven by the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets increased CHF 20.9 billion.

In Swiss francs, trading assets decreased CHF 11.6 billion, or 4%, as the foreign exchange translation impact was partially offset by increases in fixed income products. Brokerage receivables decreased CHF 6.4 billion, or 14%, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and a decrease in client trading activity including margin lending. Cash and due from banks decreased CHF 5.3 billion, or 7%, mainly from the foreign exchange translation impact and a net decrease in central bank holdings, partially offset by higher deposits with banks. Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions decreased CHF 4.4 billion, or 2%, as the foreign exchange translation impact was partially offset by increases in equity securities borrowed and resale agreements collateralized by government securities. Net loans decreased CHF 2.5 billion, or 1%, and all other assets decreased CHF 9.4 billion, or 6%.

The decrease in all other assets included a decrease of CHF 5.0 billion, or 13%, in securities received as collateral, driven by the foreign exchange translation impact and a move into cash collateral, a decrease of CHF 2.1 billion, or 13%, in other investments, driven by the foreign exchange translation impact, and a decrease of CHF 1.3 billion, or 2%, in other assets as the foreign exchange translation impact was mostly offset by an increase in cash collateral on derivative instruments.

Total liabilities were CHF 936.6 billion as of the end of 2Q11, down CHF 36.6 billion, or 4%, from the end of 1Q11, primarily driven by the weakening of the US dollar and the euro against the Swiss franc. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total liabilities increased CHF 23.0 billion.

In Swiss francs, trading liabilities decreased CHF 14.4 billion, or 11%, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and a decline in short positions in European and US government bonds. Long-term debt decreased CHF 11.7 billion, or 7%, driven by the foreign exchange translation impact. Customer deposits decreased CHF 6.8 billion, or 2%, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by increased balances relating to the acquisition of PFS, and all other liabilities decreased CHF 8.3 billion, or 7%. These decreases were partially offset by increases of CHF 2.6 billion, or 4%, in brokerage payables, primarily from increases in margin lending balances, partially offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. Central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions increased CHF 1.2 billion, or 1%, due to equity securities borrowed, resale agreements collateralized by government securities and increased securities repurchase transactions, mostly offset by the foreign exchange translation impact.

The decrease in all other liabilities primarily included a decrease of CHF 5.0 billion, or 13%, in obligation to return securities received as collateral and a decrease of CHF 2.7 billion, or 12%, in short-term borrowings.

Off-balance sheet

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business. Off-balance sheet arrangements are transactions or other contractual arrangements with, or for the benefit of, an entity that is not consolidated. These transactions include derivative instruments, guarantees and similar arrangements, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity in connection with our involvement with special purpose entities (SPEs), and obligations and liabilities (including contingent obligations and liabilities) under variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide financing, liquidity, credit and other support.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010. For a description of the Group’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, except with respect to the additional disclosures on fair value of financial instruments, loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality, derivatives and hedging activities, investment securities, guarantees and commitments, assets pledged or assigned, and transfers of financial assets and VIEs. These disclosures will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11 to be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011. The presentation of period over period change, the 1Q11 consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of changes in equity and the 2Q10 consolidated balance sheet have been added for convenience of the reader and are not a required presentation under US GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results for the entire year.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 Recently issued accounting standards

Recently adopted accounting standards

The following provides the most relevant recently adopted accounting standards. For a description of accounting standards adopted in 2010, refer to Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

ASC Topic 310 – Receivables

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20” (ASU 2011-01), an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310 – Receivables.

The amendment in ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 was effective upon issuance and the adoption thereof did not impact the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASU 2010-20), an update to ASC Topic 310 – Receivables.

The amendments in ASU 2010-20 enhance disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. As a result of the update, entities are required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Entities are also required to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. The enhanced disclosures are designed to help financial statement users assess an entity’s credit risk exposures and its allowance for credit losses.

The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period were effective for the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurred during a reporting period are effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-20 is an update only for disclosures and as such did not impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Group adopted ASU 2010-20 on December 31, 2010 and provided the disclosures under this ASU that were effective for the first annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2010 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010. Disclosures about activity that occurred during the reporting period were provided in 1Q11 for the first time. For further information, refer to Note 16 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality.

ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (ASU 2010-06), an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2010-06 requires both new and clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures. The new requirements include disclosure of significant transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 and gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of level 3 instruments. The clarifications required by ASU 2010-06 include the level of disaggregation in the fair value hierarchy and level 3 reconciliation of assets and liabilities by class of financial instrument. In addition the ASU expanded disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements included in levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The new disclosures and clarifications were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of level 3 instruments, which are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 is an update only for disclosures and as such did not impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The disclosures required by ASU 2010-06 will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011. For further information, refer to Note 26 – Financial instruments.

Standards to be adopted in future periods

ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issues ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05), an update to ASC Topic 220 – Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting. The amendment provides the entity an option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 is an update only for presentation and as such will not impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC Topic 310 – Receivables

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU 2011-02), an update to ASC Topic 310 – Receivables. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In order to meet the requirements for a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 include clarifications about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes to principles for measuring fair value. ASU 2011-04 also requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is required to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-04 on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” (ASU 2011-03), an update to ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing. Current guidance prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. That determination is based, in part, on whether the entity has maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets. ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 is not expected to have any impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 Business developments and subsequent events

Acquisitions and divestitures

On April 30, 2011, the Group completed the acquisition of ABN AMRO Bank’s (formerly Fortis Bank Nederland) PFS hedge fund administration business, a global leader in hedge fund administration services.

Subsequent events

In July 2011, the UK enacted a levy attributable to the UK operations of large banks on certain funding. The levy came into effect as of January 1, 2011 at a rate of 7.5 basis points for short-term liabilities and 3.75 basis points for long-term equity and liabilities. The Group currently estimates an expense of CHF 125 million from this levy in 2011 to be recognized in the second half of 2011.

Note 4 Discontinued operations

On December 31, 2008, the Group signed an agreement to sell part of its traditional investments business in Asset Management to Aberdeen Asset Management (Aberdeen). The transaction was completed with the final closing on July 1, 2009. As part of the sale of the traditional investments business, the Group purchased certain assets in the amount of CHF 114 million in 1Q10 in accordance with contractual obligations and recognized losses of CHF 19 million that were included in discontinued operations in 1Q10 and 6M10, respectively. The remaining balance of the assets purchased in 1Q10 was sold or matured in 1Q11.

Note 5 Segment information

Overview

The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland. The Group’s business consists of three segments: Private Banking, Investment Banking and Asset Management. The three segments are complemented by Shared Services, which provides support in the areas of finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and IT. The segment information reflects the Group’s reportable segments as follows:

– Private Banking offers comprehensive advice and a broad range of wealth management solutions, including pension planning, life insurance products, tax planning and wealth and inheritance advice, which are tailored to the needs of high-net-worth and UHNW individuals worldwide. In Switzerland, it supplies banking products and services to individual clients, including affluent, high-net-worth and UHNW clients, and corporates and institutions.

– Investment Banking offers investment banking and securities products and services to corporate, institutional and government clients around the world. Its products and services include debt and equity underwriting, sales and trading, M&A advice, divestitures, corporate sales, restructuring and investment research.

– Asset Management offers integrated investment solutions and services to institutions, governments and private clients. It provides access to a wide range of investment classes, building on its global strengths in alternative investments and traditional investments.

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Noncontrolling interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have SEI in such revenues and expenses are reported as noncontrolling interests without SEI. The consolidation of these entities does not affect net income as the amounts recorded in net revenues and total operating expenses are offset by corresponding amounts reported as noncontrolling interests. In addition, our tax expense is not affected by these revenues and expenses.

Revenue sharing and cost allocation

Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing and service level agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis.

The aim of revenue-sharing and cost allocation agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions.

Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and IT are provided by the Shared Services area. Shared Services costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures.

Funding

The Group centrally manages its funding activities. New securities for funding and capital purposes are issued primarily by Credit Suisse AG, the Swiss bank subsidiary of the Group (the Bank). The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to capitalize on opportunities. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital.

Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record net revenues and expense in each of the segments for this capital and funding. The Group’s funds transfer pricing system is designed to allocate to its businesses funding costs in a way that incentivizes their efficient use of funding. The Group’s funds transfer pricing system is an essential tool that allocates to the businesses the short-term and long-term costs of funding their balance sheet and the costs associated with funding liquidity and balance sheet items, such as goodwill, which are beyond the control of individual businesses. This is of greater importance in a stressed capital markets environment where raising funds is more challenging and expensive. Under this system, the Group’s businesses are also credited to the extent they provide long-term stable funding.

Taxes

The Group’s segments are managed and reported on a pre-tax basis.

Represents revenues on a product basis which are not representative of business results within segments, as segment results utilize financial instruments across various product types.

Trading revenues includes revenues from trading financial assets and liabilities as follows:

– Equities;

– Commodities;

– Listed and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives;

– Derivatives linked to funds of hedge funds and providing financing facilities to funds of hedge funds;

– Market making in the government bond and associated OTC derivative swap markets;

– Domestic, corporate and sovereign debt, convertible and non-convertible preferred stock and short-term securities such as floating rate notes and commercial paper (CP);

– Market making and positioning in foreign exchange products;

– Credit derivatives on investment grade and high yield credits;

– Trading and securitizing all forms of securities that are based on underlying pools of assets; and

– Life settlement contracts.

Trading revenues also includes changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities elected to fair value under US GAAP. The main components include certain instruments from the following categories:

– Central bank funds purchased/sold;

– Securities purchased/sold under resale/repurchase agreements;

– Securities borrowing/lending transactions;

– Loans and loan commitments; and

– Customer deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Managing the risks

As a result of the Group’s broad involvement in financial products and markets, its trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a diversified range of risk factors and locations. The Group uses an economic capital limit structure to limit overall risk taking. The level of risk incurred by its divisions is further restricted by a variety of specific limits, including consolidated controls over trading exposures. Also, as part of its overall risk management, the Group holds a portfolio of economic hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements, similar to trading securities, and may result in gains or losses on the hedges which offset losses or gains on the portfolios they were designed to economically hedge. The Group manages its trading risk with regard to both market and credit risk. For market risk, it uses tools capable of calculating comparable exposures across its many activities, as well as focused tools that can specifically model unique characteristics of certain instruments or portfolios.

The principal measurement methodology for trading assets, as well as most instruments for which the fair value option was elected, is VaR. The Group holds securities as collateral and enters into CDS to mitigate the credit risk on these products.

The required disclosures for investment securities will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011.

Management determined that the unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to general market interest rate, credit spread or exchange rate movements. No significant impairment charges were recorded as the Group does not intend to sell the investments, nor is it more likely than not that the Group will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.

Note 16 Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality

Loans are divided in two portfolio segments “consumer loans” and “corporate and institutional loans”. Consumer loans are disaggregated into the classes of mortgages, loans collateralized by securities and consumer finance. Corporate and institutional loans are disaggregated into the classes of real estate, commercial and industrial loans, financial institutions and governments and public institutions.

The determination of the loan classes is primarily driven by the customer segmentation in the two business divisions, Private Banking and Investment Banking, that are engaged in credit activities.

The Group assigns both counterparty and transaction ratings to its credit exposures. The counterparty rating reflects the probability of default (PD) of the counterparty. The transaction rating reflects the expected loss, considering collateral, on a given transaction if the counterparty defaults. Credit risk is assessed and monitored on the single obligor and single obligation level as well as on the credit portfolio level as represented by the classes of loans. Credit limits are used to manage counterparty credit risk.

Credit quality of loans held at amortized cost

Management monitors the credit quality of loans through its credit risk management processes, which are structured to assess, quantify, price, monitor and manage risk on a consistent basis. This process requires careful consideration of proposed extensions of credit, the setting of specific limits, monitoring during the life of the exposure, active use of credit mitigation tools and a disciplined approach to recognizing credit impairment.

Management evaluates many factors when assessing the credit quality of loans. These factors include the volatility of default probabilities, rating changes, the magnitude of potential loss, internal risk ratings and geographic, industry and other economic factors. For the purpose of credit quality disclosures, the Group uses internal risk ratings as credit quality indicators.

The Group employs a set of credit ratings for the purpose of internally rating counterparties. Internally developed models are built from statistical data and then subject to a thorough business review before implementation. Relevant quantitative data and qualitative factors relating to the counterparty result in the assignment of a credit rating which measures the counterparty’s risk of default.

Internal ratings are reviewed annually and calibrated to external rating agencies using the historical PD associated with external ratings. Internal rating levels for PD are generally in line with the rating levels of Standard & Poor’s. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are reported as restructured loans to the end of the reporting year in which the loan was modified or until expiration of any interest concession made.

Reverse repurchase agreements are fully collateralized and in the event of counterparty default the repurchase agreement provides the Group the right to liquidate the collateral held. The Group risk manages these instruments on the basis of the value of the underlying collateral, as opposed to loans, which are risk managed on the ability of the counterparty to repay. Therefore the underlying collateral coverage is the most appropriate credit quality indicator for reverse repurchase agreements. Also, the Group has elected the fair value option for the majority of its reverse repurchase agreements.

Effective tax rate	16.5	23.7	9.8	20.4	21.0

The 2Q11 effective tax rate was impacted by the geographical mix of results. The effective tax rate also reflected an increase in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, mainly in the UK, and an increase in deferred tax asset balances following a re-measurement of deferred tax assets in Switzerland.

Net deferred tax assets

Temporary differences	2,900	3,188	(288)
Net deferred tax assets	7,401	8,181	(780)

Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 780 million to CHF 7,401 million as of the end of 2Q11. The reduction in net deferred tax assets primarily related to foreign exchange translation losses of CHF 637 million, and also reflected the recognition of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, mainly in the UK, of CHF 180 million and an increase in deferred tax asset balances of CHF 121 million following a re-measurement of deferred tax assets in Switzerland. The split of net deferred tax assets between deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and deferred tax assets on timing differences is in accordance with ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes guidance to interim reporting.

For disclosure purposes, valuation allowances have been allocated against deferred tax assets on net operating losses first with any remainder allocated to deferred tax assets on temporary differences, which is considered the most accurate allocation method given the underlying nature of the gross deferred tax assets.

The Group is currently subject to ongoing tax audits and inquiries with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of the completion of these audits is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these audits and inquiries will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease between zero and CHF 47 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Group remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Switzerland – 2007; Japan – 2005; the Netherlands – 2005; the UK – 2003; and the US – 1999.

Note 21 Employee deferred compensation

Payment of deferred compensation to employees is determined by the nature of the business, role, location and performance of the employee. Unless there is a contractual obligation, granting deferred compensation is solely at the discretion of senior management. For further information on cash and share-based awards and the related fair value assumptions, refer to Note 27 – Employee deferred compensation in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

The Group repurchases its own shares in the open market and issues new shares out of available conditional capital to satisfy obligations in connection with share-based compensation.

The following tables show the compensation expense for deferred compensation awards that was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, the total shares delivered, the estimated unrecognized compensation expenses for deferred compensation awards granted in 2Q11 and prior periods outstanding as of 2Q11 and the remaining requisite service period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense was based on the fair value of each award on the date of grant and included the current estimated outcome of relevant performance criteria and estimated future forfeitures but no estimate for future mark-to-market adjustments.

Share-based awards

Share-based awards were granted in January 2011 as part of the 2010 deferred compensation. These awards replace other plans introduced in prior years, including Scaled Incentive Share Units (SISUs), Incentive Share Units (ISUs) and the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP). Each share-based award granted entitles the holder of the award to receive one Group share. One quarter of the share awards vest on each of the four anniversaries of the date of grant. The value that is delivered is equal to the Group share price at the time of delivery, as the share-based awards do not contain any leverage component or multiplier effect as contained in earlier awards.

The Group’s share-based awards also include other awards, such as blocked shares and longevity premium awards, which were primarily used in previous years, and special awards, which may be granted to new employees. These awards entitle the holder to receive one Group share, subject to continued employment with the Group, contain restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions and generally vest between zero and five years.

As part of the deferred compensation for 2010, the Group awarded a small population of employees in a number of EU countries 50% of the amount they otherwise would have received in unrestricted cash in the form of blocked shares in order to comply with differing European regulatory requirements. The blocked shares vested immediately upon grant, have no future service requirements and were attributed to services performed in 2010. The shares remain blocked for a period of time, which varies from six months to three years, dependent on location, after which they are subject to no restrictions.

Adjustable Performance Plan awards

The Adjustable Performance Plan is a deferred, cash-based plan for the Executive Board, managing directors and directors. The Group introduced and granted Adjustable Performance Plan awards as part of deferred compensation for 2009 (2009 Adjustable Performance Plan). The Group continued to grant Adjustable Performance Plan awards as part of deferred compensation for 2010 (2010 Adjustable Performance Plan) and amended and simplified certain features in the 2010 Adjustable Performance Plan.

The 2009 Adjustable Performance Plan awards are subject to a three-year, pro rata vesting schedule. The final value of the Adjustable Performance Plan awards paid out to individual employees may be adjusted positively or negatively from the initial amount awarded on the grant date depending on the financial performance of the specific business areas and the Group return on equity and the value paid out each year for vested awards will reflect these adjustments.

The 2010 Adjustable Performance Plan awards are similar to the 2009 Adjustable Performance Plan awards, except the pro rata vesting will occur over a four-year period and the outstanding 2010 Adjustable Performance Plan awards will be subject to annual adjustments, increasing or decreasing the outstanding balances by a percentage equal to the Group return on equity, unless the division that granted the awards incurs a pre-tax loss. In this case, outstanding awards in that division will be subject to a negative adjustment of 15% for every CHF 1 billion of loss unless a negative Group return on equity applies for that year and is greater than the divisional adjustment.

Restricted Cash Award

The cash component of variable compensation is generally free from conditions. However, managing directors in Investment Banking received the cash component of variable compensation in 2010 in the form of a restricted cash award with ratable vesting over a two-year period and other restrictive covenants and provisions. These cash awards were paid in 1Q11 and must be repaid by the employee, either in part or in full, if a claw-back event such as voluntary termination of employment or termination for cause occurs during the vesting period.

Scaled Incentive Share Unit

The SISU plan is a share-based, long-term incentive plan for managing directors and directors. SISUs were granted in January 2010 as part of 2009 deferred compensation. SISUs are similar to ISUs (refer to Incentive Share Unit below) except with four-year vesting, subject to early retirement rules, and the leverage component contains an additional performance condition which could increase or decrease the number of any additional shares based on Group return on equity.

Incentive Share Unit

ISUs were the main form of share-based deferred compensation for all employees from 2006 to 2009. For 2009, ISUs were used for the deferred compensation awards granted to employees up to and including vice presidents. An ISU is similar to a share, but offers additional upside depending on the development of the Group share price compared to predefined targets set at grant date. For each ISU granted, the employee will receive at least one Group share (ISU base unit) over a three-year vesting period and could receive additional shares (ISU leverage unit) at the end of the three-year vesting period. The ISU leverage units granted in 2007 were settled in 6M11 and did not have a value at settlement as the Group share price performance was below the minimum predefined target of CHF 58.45.

Partner Asset Facility

As part of the 2008 annual compensation process, the Group granted employees in Investment Banking with a corporate title of managing director or director the majority of the deferred compensation in the form of PAF awards, denominated in US dollars. The PAF awards are indexed to, and represent a first-loss interest in, a specified pool of illiquid assets that originated in Investment Banking.

PAF awards, which have a contractual term of eight years, are fully vested. Compensation expense will be updated at each reporting period date to reflect any change in the underlying fair value of the PAF awards until the awards are finally settled.

Other cash awards

Other cash awards consist of voluntary deferred compensation, proprietary trading and employee investment plans. The compensation expense related to these awards was primarily driven by mark to market and performance adjustments, as the majority of the awards are fully vested.

Note 22 Pension and other post-retirement benefits

The Group previously disclosed that it expected to contribute CHF 525 million to the Swiss and international defined benefit plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans in 2011. As of the end of 2Q11, CHF 276 million of contributions have been made.

Note 23 Derivatives and hedging activities

The required disclosures for derivatives and hedging activities and related contingent credit risk will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011.

Derivatives are generally either privately negotiated OTC contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The Group’s most frequently used freestanding derivative products, entered into for trading and risk management purposes, include interest rate, credit default and cross-currency swaps, interest rate and foreign exchange options, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange and interest rate futures.

The Group also enters into contracts that are not considered derivatives in their entirety but include embedded derivative features. Such transactions primarily include issued and purchased structured debt instruments where the return may be calculated by reference to an equity security, index or third-party credit risk, or that have non-standard interest or foreign exchange terms.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Group designates it as belonging to one of the following categories:

– trading activities;

– a risk management transaction that does not qualify as a hedge under accounting standards (referred to as an economic hedge);

– a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability;

– a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid relating to a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction; or

– a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Trading activities

The Group is active in most of the principal trading markets and transacts in many popular trading and hedging products. As noted above, this includes the use of swaps, futures, options and structured products, such as custom transactions using combinations of derivatives, in connection with its sales and trading activities. Trading activities include market making, positioning and arbitrage activities. The majority of the Group’s derivatives were used for trading activities.

Economic hedges

Economic hedges arise when the Group enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but the contracts entered into do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP. These economic hedges include the following types:

– interest rate derivatives to manage net interest rate risk on certain core banking business assets and liabilities;

– foreign exchange derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk on certain core banking business revenue and expense items, as well as on core banking business assets and liabilities;

– credit derivatives to manage credit risk on certain loan portfolios; and

– futures to manage risk on equity positions including convertible bonds.

Derivatives used in economic hedges are included as trading assets or trading liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Hedge accounting

Fair value hedges

The Group designates fair value hedges as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. In addition to hedging changes in fair value due to interest rate risk associated with fixed rate loans, repurchase agreements and long-term debt instruments, the Group uses:

– cross-currency swaps to convert foreign-currency-denominated fixed rate assets or liabilities to floating rate functional currency assets or liabilities; and

– foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with available-for-sale securities.

Cash flow hedges

The Group designates cash flow hedges as part of its strategy to mitigate its risk to variability of cash flows on loans, deposits and other debt obligations by using interest rate swaps to convert variable rate assets or liabilities to fixed rates. The Group also uses cross-currency swaps to convert foreign-currency-denominated fixed and floating rate assets or liabilities to fixed rate assets or liabilities based on the currency profile that the Group elects to be exposed. This includes, but is not limited to, Swiss francs and US dollars. Further, the Group uses derivatives to hedge its cash flows associated with forecasted transactions.

Net investment hedges

The Group designates net investment hedges as part of its strategy to hedge selected net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in foreign exchange rates, typically using forward foreign exchange contracts.

Hedge effectiveness assessment

The Group assesses the effectiveness of hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. The prospective assessment is made both at the inception of a hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, and requires the Group to justify its expectation that the relationship will be highly effective over future periods. The retrospective assessment is also performed on an ongoing basis and requires the Group to determine whether or not the hedging relationship has actually been effective. If the Group concludes, through a retrospective evaluation, that hedge accounting is appropriate for the current period, then it measures the amount of hedge ineffectiveness to be recognized in earnings.

Note 24 Guarantees and commitments

Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, guarantees are provided that contingently obligate Credit Suisse to make payments to third parties if the counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement. The total gross amount disclosed within the Guarantees table reflects the maximum potential payment under the guarantees. The carrying value represents the Group’s current best estimate of payments that will be required under existing guarantee arrangements.

1    Total net amount is computed as the gross amount less any participations.   2    Excludes derivative contracts with certain active commercial and investment banks and certain other counterparties, as such contracts can be cash settled and the Group had no basis to conclude it was probable that the counterparties held, at inception, the underlying instruments.   3    Collateral for derivatives accounted for as guarantees is not considered significant.

Credit guarantees and similar instruments

Credit guarantees and similar instruments are contracts that require the Group to make payments should a third party fail to do so under a specified existing credit obligation. The position includes standby letters of credit, commercial and residential mortgage guarantees and other guarantees associated with VIEs.

Standby letters of credit are made in connection with the corporate lending business and other corporate activities, where the Group provides guarantees to counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit, which represent obligations to make payments to third parties if the counterparties fail to fulfill their obligations under a borrowing arrangement or other contractual obligation.

Commercial and residential mortgage guarantees are made in connection with the Group’s commercial mortgage activities in the US, where the Group sells certain commercial and residential mortgages to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and agrees to bear a percentage of the losses triggered by the borrowers failing to perform on the mortgage. The Group also issues guarantees that require it to reimburse the FNMA for losses on certain whole loans underlying mortgage-backed securities issued by the FNMA, which are triggered by borrowers failing to perform on the underlying mortgages.

The Group also provides guarantees to VIEs and other counterparties under which it may be required to buy assets from such entities upon the occurrence of certain triggering events such as rating downgrades and/or substantial decreases in fair value of those assets.

Performance guarantees and similar instruments

Performance guarantees and similar instruments are arrangements that require contingent payments to be made when certain performance-related targets or covenants are not met. Such covenants may include a customer’s obligation to deliver certain products and services or to perform under a construction contract. Performance guarantees are frequently executed as part of project finance transactions. The position includes private equity fund guarantees and guarantees related to residential mortgage securitization activities.

For private equity fund guarantees, the Group has provided investors in private equity funds sponsored by a Group entity guarantees on potential obligations of certain general partners to return amounts previously paid as carried interest to those general partners if the performance of the remaining investments declines. To manage its exposure, the Group generally withholds a portion of carried interest distributions to cover any repayment obligations. In addition, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, the Group is obligated to make cash payments to certain investors in certain private equity funds if specified performance thresholds are not met.

Further, as part of the Group’s residential mortgage securitization activities in the US, the Group may guarantee the collection by the servicer and remittance to the securitization trust of prepayment penalties. The Group will have to perform under these guarantees in the event the servicer fails to remit the prepayment penalties.

Securities lending indemnifications

Securities lending indemnifications include arrangements in which the Group agreed to indemnify securities lending customers against losses incurred in the event that security borrowers do not return securities subject to the lending agreement and the collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities borrowed. As indicated in the Guarantees table, the Group was fully collateralized in respect of securities lending indemnifications.

Derivatives

Derivatives are issued in the ordinary course of business, generally in the form of written put options. Disclosures about derivative contracts are not required under US GAAP if such contracts may be cash settled and the Group has no basis to conclude it is probable that the counterparties held, at inception, the underlying instruments related to the derivative contracts. The Group has concluded that these conditions were met for certain active commercial and investment banks and certain other counterparties, and accordingly, the Group has not included such contracts as guarantees.

The Group manages its exposure to these derivatives by engaging in various hedging strategies to reduce its exposure. For some contracts, such as written interest rate caps or foreign exchange options, the maximum payout is not determinable as interest rates or exchange rates could theoretically rise without limit. For these contracts, notional amounts were disclosed in the table above in order to provide an indication of the underlying exposure. In addition, the Group carries all derivatives at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and has considered the performance triggers and probabilities of payment when determining those fair values. It is more likely than not that written put options that are in-the-money to the counterparty will be exercised, for which the Group’s exposure was limited to the fair value reflected in the table.

Other guarantees

Other guarantees include bankers’ acceptances, residual value guarantees, deposit insurance, contingent considerations in business combinations, the minimum value of an investment in mutual funds or private equity funds and all other guarantees that were not allocated to one of the categories above.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF 6 billion. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by FINMA or by compulsory liquidation of another deposit taking bank, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA’s estimate for the Group’s banking subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee scheme for the period July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 was CHF 0.7 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees. For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee scheme will be stable at CHF 0.7 billion.

Representations and warranties on mortgages

In connection with Investment Banking’s sale of US residential mortgage loans, the Group has provided certain representations and warranties relating to the loans sold. The Group has provided these representations and warranties relating to sales of loans to: the US government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs); institutional investors, primarily banks; and non-agency, or private label, securitizations. The loans sold are primarily loans that the Group has purchased from other parties. The scope of representations and warranties, if any, depends on the transaction, but can include: ownership of the mortgage loans and legal capacity to sell the loans; loan-to-value ratios and other characteristics of the property, the borrower and the loan; validity of the liens securing the loans and absence of delinquent taxes or related liens; conformity to underwriting standards and completeness of documentation; and origination in compliance with law. If it is determined that representations and warranties were breached, the Group may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether the Group will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent claims are made; the validity of such claims (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether the Group can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to the Group and made representations and warranties to the Group; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.

Representations and warranties in non-agency securitizations are more limited in scope than those relating to GSE securitizations, and it can be more difficult to establish causation and standing in making a repurchase claim for breach of representations and warranties in non-agency securitizations. The Group is involved in litigation relating to its non-agency securitization activities.

Additional information on representations and warranties on mortgages will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011.

Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications

The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees are not reflected in the table above and are discussed below.

Disposal-related contingencies

In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, the Group sometimes provides the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. They are designed to transfer the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies, such as litigation, tax and intellectual property matters, from the acquirer to the seller. The Group closely monitors all such contractual agreements in order to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Other indemnifications

The Group provides indemnifications to certain counterparties in connection with its normal operating activities, for which it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount that it could be obligated to pay. As a normal part of issuing its own securities, the Group typically agrees to reimburse holders for additional tax-withholding charges or assessments resulting from changes in applicable tax laws or the interpretation of those laws. Securities that include these agreements to pay additional amounts generally also include a related redemption or call provision if the obligation to pay the additional amounts results from a change in law or its interpretation and the obligation cannot be avoided by the issuer taking reasonable steps to avoid the payment of additional amounts. Since such potential obligations are dependent on future changes in tax laws, the related liabilities the Group may incur as a result of such changes cannot be reasonably estimated. In light of the related call provisions typically included, the Group does not expect any potential liabilities in respect of tax gross-ups to be material.

The Group is a member of numerous securities exchanges and clearing houses and may, as a result of its membership arrangements, be required to perform if another member defaults. The Group has determined that it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount of these obligations and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these arrangements is remote.

Forward reverse repurchase agreements represent transactions in which the initial cash exchange of the reverse repurchase transactions takes place on specified future dates.

Other commitments

Other commitments include private equity commitments, firm commitments in underwriting securities, commitments arising from deferred payment letters of credit and from acceptances in circulation and liabilities for calls and puts on shares and other equity instruments.

The Group has redeemable noncontrolling interests in its consolidated Brazilian subsidiary Credit Suisse Hedging-Griffo Investimentos S.A. The minority investors have the right to put their interest at a value that is based on a formula relating to the subsidiary's performance. The put is exercisable December 31, 2011 and, if exercised, would give the Group full control and ownership in the first quarter of 2012. The Group currently estimates the redemption value of the put to be BRL 1,270 million (CHF 685 million). The Group has elected to accrete the value of the payment over 2011, and the accrued portion is included in the balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. In addition, Credit Suisse has a call option to acquire the noncontrolling interests.

Note 25 Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities

The required disclosures for transfers of financial assets and VIEs will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011.

In the normal course of business, the Group enters into transactions with, and makes use of, SPEs. An SPE is an entity in the form of a trust or other legal structure designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it and are generally structured to isolate the SPE’s assets from creditors of other entities, including the Group. The principal uses of SPEs are to assist the Group and its clients in securitizing financial assets and creating investment products. The Group also uses SPEs for other client-driven activity, such as to facilitate financings, and Group tax or regulatory purposes.

Transfers of financial assets

Securitizations

The majority of the Group’s securitization activities involve mortgages and mortgage-related securities and are predominantly transacted using SPEs. In a typical securitization, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE’s issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, CP and other notes of indebtedness. These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and not reflected on Group’s consolidated balance sheet, unless either the Group sold the assets to the entity and the accounting requirements for sale were not met or the Group consolidates the SPE.

The Group purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization and sells these mortgage loans to SPEs. These SPEs issue CMBS, RMBS and ABS that are collateralized by the assets transferred to the SPE and that pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities or ABS typically have recourse to the assets in the SPEs, unless a third-party guarantee has been received to further enhance the creditworthiness of the assets. The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is typically an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.

The Group also transacts in re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities. Typically, certificates issued out of an existing securitization vehicle are sold into a newly created and separate securitization vehicle. Often, these re-securitizations are initiated in order to repackage an existing security to give the investor a higher rated tranche.

The Group also purchases loans and other debt obligations from clients, which are then sold by the Group directly or indirectly to SPEs that issue collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). The Group structures, underwrites and makes a market in these CDOs. CDOs are collateralized by the assets transferred to the CDO vehicle and pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors typically only have recourse to the collateral of the CDO and do not have recourse to the Group’s assets.

When the Group transfers assets into an SPE, it must assess whether that transfer is accounted for as a sale of the assets. Transfers of assets may not meet sale requirements if the assets have not been legally isolated from the Group and/or if the Group’s continuing involvement is deemed to give it effective control over the assets. If the transfer is not deemed a sale, it is instead accounted for as a secured borrowing, with the transferred assets as collateral.

As a result of the issuance of new guidance effective January 1, 2010, the Group lost sale accounting treatment for certain asset transfers and for certain transfers of portions of assets that do not meet the definition of participating interests. The impact of this change in accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, result of operations or cash flow.

Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend, in part, on the carrying values of mortgages and CDOs involved in the transfer and are allocated between the assets sold and any beneficial interests retained according to the relative fair values at the date of sale.

Other asset-based financing arrangements

The Group also uses SPEs for other client-driven activity and for Group tax or regulatory purposes. These activities include various leveraged finance, repack and other types of structures.

Leveraged finance structures are used to assist in the syndication of certain loans held by the Group. Typically, a third-party private equity sponsor will establish a SPE which in turn will purchase a loan from the Group. The debt (loan facility) provided by the Group has recourse only to the assets held within the SPE.

Repack structures are designed to give a client collateralized exposure to specific cash flows or credit risk. Typically, the SPE structure will issue notes to the client, enter into a derivative through which the desired exposure is introduced and then collateral will be purchased from the Group.

Other types of structures in this category include life insurance structures, emerging market structures set up for financing, loan participation or loan origination purposes and other alternative structures created for the purpose of investing in venture capital-like investments.

Continuing involvement in transferred financial assets

The Group may have continuing involvement in the financial assets that are transferred to an SPE, regardless of whether the transfer was accounted for as a sale or a secured borrowing, which may take several forms, including, but not limited to, servicing, recourse and guarantee arrangements, agreements to purchase or redeem transferred assets, derivative instruments, pledges of collateral and beneficial interests in the transferred assets. Beneficial interests, which are valued at fair value, include rights to receive all or portions of specified cash inflows received by an SPE, including, but not limited to, senior and subordinated shares of interest, principal, or other cash inflows to be “passed through” or “paid through”, premiums due to guarantors, CP obligations, and residual interests, whether in the form of debt or equity.

The Group’s exposure resulting from continuing involvement in transferred financial assets is generally limited to beneficial interests typically held by the Group in the form of instruments issued by SPEs that are senior, subordinated or residual tranches. These instruments are held by the Group typically in connection with underwriting or market-making activities and are included in trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of these beneficial interests are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investors usually have recourse to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as collateral accounts, or from liquidity facilities, such as lines of credit or liquidity put option of asset purchase agreements. The SPE may also enter into a derivative contract in order to convert the yield or currency of the underlying assets to match the needs of the SPE investors, or to limit or change the credit risk of the SPE. The Group may be the provider of certain credit enhancements as well as the counterparty to any related derivative contract.

Fair value of beneficial interests

The fair value measurement of the beneficial interests held at the time of transfer and as of the reporting date that result from any continuing involvement are determined using fair value estimation techniques, such as the present value of estimated future cash flows that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in these valuation techniques. The fair value of the assets or liabilities that result from any continuing involvement does not include any benefits from financial instruments that the Group may utilize to hedge the inherent risks.

Variable interest entities

As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in various transactions that include entities that are considered VIEs and are broadly grouped into three primary categories: CDOs, CP conduits and financial intermediation. VIEs are SPEs that typically either lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support or are structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. VIEs may be sponsored by the Group, unrelated third parties or clients. Such entities are required to be assessed for consolidation, compelling the primary beneficiary to consolidate the VIE. As a result of the issuance of new guidance, the FASB changed the method of analyzing whether to consolidate the VIE. The model now requires an entity to determine whether it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economics of the VIE as well as whether the reporting entity has potentially significant benefits or losses in the VIE. This is in contrast to the previous consolidation model for VIEs, which only considered whether an entity absorbed the majority of the risk and/or rewards of the VIE. In addition, the primary beneficiary must be re-evaluated on an on-going basis, whereas previously reconsideration of the primary beneficiary was only required when specified reconsideration events occurred.

Consequently, the Group consolidated certain VIEs and former qualified SPEs with which it had involvement. The Group elected the fair value option upon transition for all of the financial assets and liabilities of the VIEs and former qualified SPEs. For further information on the fair value option, refer to Note 26 – Financial instruments.

Application of the requirements for consolidation of VIEs may require the exercise of significant management judgment. In the event consolidation of a VIE is required, the exposure to the Group is limited to that portion of the VIE’s assets attributable to any variable interest held by the Group prior to any risk management activities to hedge the Group’s net exposure. Any interests held in the VIE by third parties, even though consolidated by the Group, will not typically impact its results of operations.

Transactions with VIEs are generally executed to facilitate securitization activities or to meet specific client needs, such as providing liquidity or investing opportunities, and, as part of these activities, the Group may hold interests in the VIEs. Securitization-related transactions with VIEs involve selling or purchasing assets as well as possibly entering into related derivatives with those VIEs, providing liquidity, credit or other support. Other transactions with VIEs include derivative transactions in the Group’s capacity as the prime broker. The Group also enters into lending arrangements with VIEs for the purpose of financing projects or the acquisition of assets. Typically, the VIE’s assets are restricted in nature in that they are held primarily to satisfy the obligations of the entity. Further, the Group is involved with VIEs which were formed for the purpose of offering alternative investment solutions to clients. Such VIEs relate primarily to private equity investments, fund-linked vehicles or funds of funds, where the Group acts as structurer, manager, distributor, broker, market maker or liquidity provider.

As a consequence of these activities, the Group holds variable interests in VIEs. Such variable interests consist of financial instruments issued by VIEs and which are held by the Group, certain derivatives with VIEs or loans to VIEs. Guarantees issued by the Group to or on behalf of VIEs may also qualify as variable interests. For such guarantees, including derivatives that act as guarantees, the notional amount of the respective guarantees are provided to represent the exposure. In general, investors in consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of a default, except where a guarantee was provided to the investors or where the Group is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving VIEs.

Total assets of consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs for which the Group has involvement represent the total assets of the VIEs even though the Group’s involvement may be significantly less due to interests held by third-party investors. The asset balances for non-consolidated VIEs where the Group has significant involvement represent the most current information available to the Group regarding the remaining principal balance of assets owned. In most cases, the asset balances represent an amortized cost basis without regards to impairments in fair value, unless fair value information is readily available.

The Group’s maximum exposure to loss is different from the carrying value of the assets of the VIE. This maximum exposure to loss consists of the carrying value of the Group variable interests held as trading assets, derivatives and loans and the notional amount of guarantees to VIEs, rather than the amount of total assets of the VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss does not reflect the Group’s risk management activities, including effects from financial instruments that the Group may utilize to economically hedge the risks inherent in these VIEs. The economic risks associated with VIE exposures held by the Group, together with all relevant risk mitigation initiatives, are included in the Group’s risk management framework.

The Group has not provided financial or other support to consolidated or non-consolidated VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide.

Collateralized debt obligations

The Group engages in CDO transactions to meet client and investor needs, earn fees and sell financial assets. The Group may act as underwriter, placement agent or asset manager and may warehouse assets prior to the closing of a transaction. As part of its structured finance business, the Group purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are sold to VIEs, which in turn issue CDOs to fund the purchase of assets such as investment grade and high yield corporate debt instruments.

Typically, the collateral manager in a managed CDO is deemed to be the entity that has the power to direct the activities that most affect the economics of the entity. In a static CDO this “power” role is more difficult to analyze and may be the sponsor of the entity or the CDS counterparty.

CDOs provide credit risk exposure to a portfolio of ABS (cash CDOs) or a reference portfolio of securities (synthetic CDOs). Cash CDO transactions hold actual securities whereas synthetic CDO transactions use CDS to exchange the underlying credit risk instead of using cash assets. The Group may also act as a derivative counterparty to the VIEs, which are typically not variable interests, and may invest in portions of the notes or equity issued by the VIEs. The CDO entities may have actively managed portfolios or static portfolios.

The securities issued by these VIEs are payable solely from the cash flows of the related collateral, and third-party creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of default.

The Group’s exposure in CDO transactions is typically limited to interests retained in connection with its underwriting or market-making activities. Unless the Group has been deemed to have “power” over the entity and these interests are potentially significant, the Group is not the primary beneficiary of the vehicle and does not consolidate the entity, The Group’s maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risks of the VIEs.

Commercial paper conduit

The Group continues to act as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for one asset-backed CP conduit, Alpine, a client-focused multi-seller conduit vehicle. Alpine publishes portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to a rating agency for public ratings based on the cash flows of the portfolio taken as a whole. This CP conduit purchases assets, primarily loans and receivables, from clients and finances such purchases through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. For an asset to qualify for acquisition by the CP conduit, it must be rated at least investment grade after giving effect to the related asset-specific credit enhancement primarily provided by the client seller of the asset. The clients provide credit support to investors of the CP conduit in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Further, an unaffiliated investor retains a limited first-loss position in Alpine’s entire portfolio. The Group does not have any ownership interest in Alpine. However, the Group, as administrator and liquidity and credit enhancement facilities provider, has significant exposure and power over the activities of Alpine. Effective January 1, 2010, the Group was deemed the primary beneficiary of Alpine and consolidated it in accordance with the new guidance. For further information, refer to Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010.

The overall average maturity of the conduit’s outstanding CP was approximately 21 days and 20 days as of 2Q11 and 1Q11, respectively. As of 2Q11 and 1Q11, Alpine had the highest short-term ratings from Fitch, Moody’s and Dominion Bond Rating Service and was rated A-1 by Standard & Poors. The majority of Alpine’s purchased assets were highly rated loans or receivables in the consumer sector, including auto loans or leases, credit card receivables and student loans. As of 2Q11 and 1Q11, those assets had an average rating of AA, based on the lowest of each asset’s external or internal rating, and an average maturity of 3.1 years as of 2Q11 and 1Q11.

The Group’s commitment to this CP conduit consists of obligations under liquidity agreements and a program-wide credit enhancement agreement. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to purchase assets from the CP conduit in certain circumstances, including a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduit cannot refinance its obligations or, in some cases, a default of an underlying asset. The Group may, at its discretion, purchase assets that fall below investment grade in order to support the CP conduit. In both circumstances, the asset-specific credit enhancements provided by the client seller of the assets and the first-loss investor’s respective exposures to those assets remain unchanged. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit. The program-wide credit enhancement agreement with the CP conduit would absorb potential defaults of the assets, but is senior to the credit protection provided by the client seller of assets and the first-loss investor.

The Group believes that the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure is remote because the assets held by the CP conduit, after giving effect to related asset-specific credit enhancement primarily provided by the clients, are classified as investment grade. The Group’s economic risks associated with the purchased assets of the CP conduit are included in the Group’s risk management framework including counterparty, economic capital and scenario analysis.

Financial intermediation

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients.

The Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group’s risk mitigation efforts, including, but not limited to, economic hedging strategies and collateral arrangements. The Group’s economic risks associated with consolidated and non-consolidated VIE exposures arising from financial intermediation, together with all relevant risk mitigation initiatives, are included in the Group’s risk management framework.

Financial intermediation consists of securitizations, funds, loans and other vehicles.

Securitizations

Securitizations are primarily CMBS, RMBS and ABS vehicles. The Group acts as an underwriter, market maker, liquidity provider, derivative counterparty and/or provider of credit enhancements to VIEs related to certain securitization transactions.

The maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of the loan securities and derivative positions that are variable interests, if any, plus the exposure arising from any credit enhancements the Group provided. The Group’s maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risks of the VIEs.

Typically, the servicer of the assets in the VIE will be deemed to have the power that most significantly affects the economics of the entity. When a servicer or its related party also has an economic interest that has the potential to absorb a significant portion of the gains and/or losses, it will be deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidate the vehicle. The Group typically consolidates securitization vehicles when it is the servicer and has holdings stemming from its role as underwriter. Short-term market making holdings in vehicles are not typically considered to be potentially significant for the purposes of this assessment.

Funds

Funds include investment structures such as mutual funds, funds of funds, private equity funds and fund-linked products where the investors’ interest is typically in the form of debt rather than equity, thereby making them VIEs. The Group may have various relationships with such VIEs in the form of structurer, investment advisor, investment manager, administrator, custodian, underwriter, placement agent, market maker and/or as prime broker. These activities include the use of VIEs in structuring fund-linked products, hedge funds of funds or private equity investments to provide clients with investment opportunities in alternative investments. In such transactions, a VIE holds underlying investments and issues securities that provide the investors with a return based on the performance of those investments.

The maximum exposure to loss consists of the fair value of instruments issued by such structures that are held by the Group as a result of underwriting or market-making activities, financing provided to the vehicles and the Group’s exposure resulting from principal protection and redemptions features. The investors typically retain the risk of loss on such transactions, but for certain fund types, the Group may provide principal protection on the securities to limit the investors’ exposure to downside market risk. The Group’s maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risk of the VIEs.

Funds have been deferred from the application of the recent FASB guidance. Rather than the revised consolidation model which incorporated power and the potential to absorb significant risk and rewards, the previous consolidation model was used which resulted in the Group being the primary beneficiary and consolidating the funds if it held more than 50% of their outstanding issuances.

The Group repositioned certain of its money market funds by purchasing securities from those funds with the intent to eliminate structured investment vehicle, ABS, CDO and US subprime exposure. The securities transactions were executed in order to address liquidity concerns caused by the US market’s challenging conditions. The Group had no legal obligation to purchase these securities.

Loans

Loans are single-financing vehicles where the Group provides financing for specified assets or business ventures and the respective owner of the assets or manager of the businesses provides the equity in the vehicle. These tailored lending arrangements are established to purchase, lease or otherwise finance and manage clients’ assets.

The maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of the Group’s loan exposure, which is subject to the same credit risk management procedures as loans issued directly to clients. The clients’ creditworthiness is carefully reviewed, loan-to-value ratios are strictly set and, in addition, clients provide equity, additional collateral or guarantees, all of which significantly reduce the Group’s exposure. The Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group’s risk mitigation efforts which includes over-collateralization and effective monitoring to ensure that a sufficient loan-to-value ratio is maintained.

The third-party sponsor of the VIE will typically have control over the assets during the life structure and have the potential to absorb significant gains and losses; The Group is typically not the primary beneficiary of these structures and will not have to consolidate them. However, a change in the structure, such as a default of the sponsor, may result in the Group gaining control over the assets. If the Group’s lending is significant, it may then be required to consolidate the entity.

Other

Other includes additional vehicles where the Group provides financing and trust preferred issuance vehicles. Trust preferred issuance vehicles are utilized to assist the Group in raising capital efficient financing. The VIE issues preference shares which are guaranteed by the Group and uses the proceeds to purchase the debt of the Group. The Group’s guarantee of its own debt is not considered a variable interest and, as it has no holdings in these vehicles, the Group has no maximum exposure to loss. Non-consolidated VIEs include only the total assets of trust preferred issuance vehicles, as the Group has no variable interests with these entities.

Note 26 Financial instruments

Concentrations of credit risk

Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or when there are similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.

The Group regularly monitors the credit risk portfolio by counterparties, industry, country and products to ensure that such potential concentrations are identified, using a comprehensive range of quantitative tools and metrics. Credit limits relating to counterparties and products are managed through counterparty limits which set the maximum credit exposures the Group is willing to assume to specific counterparties over specified periods. Country limits are established to avoid any undue country risk concentration.

From an industry point of view, the combined credit exposure of the Group is diversified. A large portion of the credit exposure is with individual clients, particularly through residential mortgages in Switzerland, or relates to transactions with financial institutions. In both cases, the customer base is extensive and the number and variety of transactions are broad. For transactions with financial institutions, the business is also geographically diverse, with operations focused in the Americas, Europe and, to a lesser extent, Asia Pacific.

Fair value of financial instruments

The required disclosures for the fair value of financial instruments will be included in the Financial Report 2Q11, which will be published on our website and filed with the SEC on or about August 9, 2011.

The fair value of the majority of the Group’s financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets or observable inputs. These instruments include government and agency securities, certain CP, most investment grade corporate debt, certain high yield debt securities, exchange-traded and certain OTC derivative instruments and most listed equity securities.

In addition, the Group holds financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have little or no observable inputs. Further deterioration of financial markets could significantly impact the value of these financial instruments and the results of operations. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment, depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. These instruments include certain OTC derivatives, most mortgage-related and CDO securities, certain equity derivatives and equity-linked securities, private equity investments, certain loans and credit products, including leveraged finance, certain syndicated loans and certain high-grade bonds, and life insurance instruments.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is impacted by factors such as benchmark interest rates, prices of financial instruments issued by third parties, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and index prices or rates. In addition, valuation adjustments are an integral part of the valuation process when market prices are not indicative of the credit quality of a counterparty, and are applied to both OTC derivatives and debt instruments. The impact of changes in a counterparty’s credit spreads (known as credit valuation adjustments) is considered when measuring the fair value of assets and the impact of changes in the Group’s own credit spreads (known as DVA) is considered when measuring the fair value of its liabilities. For OTC derivatives, the impact of changes in both the Group’s and the counterparty’s credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current CDS prices. The adjustments also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Group’s credit exposure to a counterparty, such as collateral held and master netting agreements. For hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features, the impact of changes in the Group’s credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current funded debt spreads.

Based on the Group’s regular review of observable parameters used in its pricing models, in 2Q11 the Group adopted a change in estimate relating to the use of OIS interest rate yield curves, instead of other reference rates such as LIBOR, in determining the fair value of certain collateralized derivatives, resulting in a loss of CHF 115 million in Investment Banking fixed income sales and trading revenue.

The Group has availed itself of the simplification in accounting offered under the fair value option, primarily in the Investment Banking and Asset Management segments. This has been accomplished generally by electing the fair value option, both at initial adoption and for subsequent transactions, on items impacted by the hedge accounting requirements of US GAAP. That is, for instruments for which there was an inability to achieve hedge accounting and for which the Group is economically hedged, the Group has elected the fair value option. Likewise, where the Group manages an activity on a fair value basis but previously has been unable to achieve fair value accounting, the Group has utilized the fair value option to align its risk management reporting to its financial accounting.

Fair value hierarchy

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

– Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

– Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is publicly available; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

– Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Group’s own data. The Group’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques

Money market instruments

Traded money market instruments include instruments such as bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, CP, book claims, treasury bills and other rights, which are held for trading purposes. Valuations of money market instruments are generally based on observable inputs.

Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements

Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are measured at fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flows are discounted using observable market interest rate repurchase/resale curves for the applicable maturity and underlying collateral of the instruments. As such, the significant majority of both securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Structured resale and repurchase agreements include embedded derivatives, which are measured using the same techniques as described below for stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships. If the value of the embedded derivative is determined using significant unobservable parameters, those structured resale and repurchase agreements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities purchased under resale agreements are usually fully collateralized or over collateralized by government securities, money market instruments, corporate bonds, or other debt instruments. In the event of counterparty default, the collateral service agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held.

Debt securities

Government debt securities typically have quoted prices in active markets and are categorized as level 1 instruments. For debt securities for which market prices are not available, valuations are based on yields reflecting credit rating, historical performance, delinquencies, loss severity, the maturity of the security, recent transactions in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment. For those securities where the price or model inputs are observable in the market they are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those securities where prices are not observable and significant model inputs are unobservable they are categorized as level 3.

Corporate bonds

Corporate bonds are priced to reflect current market levels either through recent market transactions or to broker or dealer quotes.

Where a market price for the particular security is not directly available, valuations are obtained based on yields reflected by other instruments in the specific or similar entity’s capital structure and adjusting for differences in seniority and maturity, benchmarking to a comparable security where market data is available (taking into consideration differences in credit, liquidity and maturity) or through the application of cash flow modeling techniques utilizing observable inputs, such as current interest rate curves and observable CDS spreads.

CMBS, RMBS and ABS/CDO structures

Values of RMBS, CMBS and other ABS may be available through quoted prices, which are often based on the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and to and from customers. Values of RMBS, CMBS and other ABS for which there are no significant observable inputs are valued using benchmarks to similar transactions or indices and other valuation models.

For most structured debt securities, determination of fair value requires subjective assessment depending on liquidity, ownership concentration, and the current economic and competitive environment. Valuation is determined based on management’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset.

Collateralized bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Valuation models are used to value both cash and synthetic CDOs.

Equity securities

The majority of the Group’s positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available and are therefore categorized as level 1 instruments. Level 2 equities include fund-linked products, convertible bonds or equity securities with restrictions and therefore are not traded in active markets.

Fund-linked products

Fund-linked products consist of investments in third-party hedge funds and funds of funds. The method of measuring fair value for these investments is the same as those described for other investments below.

Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds are generally valued using observable pricing sources. For a small minority of convertible bonds, no observable prices are available, and valuation is determined using internal and external models, for which the key inputs include stock prices, dividend rates, credit spreads (corporate and sovereign), yield curves, foreign exchange rates, prepayment rates and borrowing costs, and single stock and equity market volatility.

Derivatives

Derivatives held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives.

The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives measured using observable exchange prices are included in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Some observable exchange prices may not be considered executable at the reporting date and may have been adjusted for liquidity concerns. For those instruments where liquidity adjustments have been made to the exchange price, such as long-dated option contracts, the instrument has been included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models. Both model types use various observable and unobservable inputs in order to determine fair value. The inputs include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument.

The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required inputs are observable in the marketplace, while more complex derivatives may use unobservable inputs that rely on specific proprietary modeling assumptions. Examples of such specific unobservable inputs include long-dated volatility assumptions on OTC option transactions and recovery rate assumptions for credit derivative transactions.

Where observable inputs (prices from exchanges, dealers, brokers or market consensus data providers) are not available, attempts are made to infer values from observable prices through model calibration (spot and forward rates, benchmark interest rate curves and volatility inputs for commonly traded option products). For inputs that cannot be derived from other sources, estimates from historical data may be made.

OTC derivatives where the majority of the value is derived from market observable inputs are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those where the majority of value is derived from unobservable inputs are categorized as level 3.

Interest rate derivatives

OTC vanilla interest rate products, such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, and caps and floors are valued by discounting the anticipated future cash flows. The future cash flows and discounting are derived from market standard yield curves and industry standard volatility inputs. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used to value exchange traded futures and options and can be used in yield curve construction. For more complex products, inputs include, but are not limited to basis swap spreads, constant maturity convexity adjustments, constant maturity treasury spreads, inflation-index correlations, inflation seasonality, single and quanto interest rate correlations, cross asset correlations, mean reversion, serial correlation and conditional prepayment rate assumptions.

Foreign exchange derivatives

Foreign exchange derivatives include vanilla products such as spot, forward and option contracts where the anticipated discounted future cash flows are determined from foreign exchange forward curves and industry standard optionality modeling techniques. Where applicable, exchange traded prices are also used for futures and option prices. For more complex products inputs include, but are not limited to foreign exchange rate correlations, quanto cross asset correlations and volatility skew assumptions.

Equity derivatives

Equity derivatives include vanilla options and swaps in addition to different types of exotic options. Inputs for equity derivatives can include borrowing costs, dividend curves, equity to equity correlations, equity to foreign exchange rate correlations, single name and index volatility, fund gap risk, fund volatility, interest rate to equity correlation and yield curve.

Credit derivatives

Credit derivatives include index and single name CDS in addition to more complex structured credit products. Vanilla products are valued using industry standard models and inputs that are generally market observable including credit spreads and recovery rates.

Complex structured credit derivatives are valued using proprietary models requiring inputs such as credit spreads, recovery rates, credit volatilities, default correlations, cash/synthetic basis spreads and prepayment rate. These input parameters are generally implied from available market observable data.

Commodity derivatives

Commodity derivatives include forwards, vanilla and exotic options, swaps, swaptions, and structured transactions. Vanilla products are generally valued using industry standard models, while more complex products may use proprietary models. Commodity derivative model inputs include cross commodity correlation, foreign exchange commodity correlation, commodity forward rate curves, spot prices, commodity volatility and the yield curve. Inputs can be validated from executed trades, broker and consensus data. In other cases, historic relationships may be used to estimate model inputs.

Other trading assets

Other trading assets include cash and synthetic life finance instruments. Cash instruments include Single Premium Immediate Annuity, premium finance, and life settlement contracts at fair value, whereas synthetic instruments include longevity swaps, options and notes.

These instruments are valued using proprietary models using several inputs however; central to the calculation of fair value for life finance instruments is the estimate of mortality rates. Individual mortality rates are typically obtained by multiplying a base mortality curve for the general insured population provided by a professional actuarial organization together with an individual-specific multiplier. Individual specific multipliers are determined based on data from third-party life expectancy data providers, which examine insured individual’s medical conditions, family history and other factors to arrive at a life expectancy estimate. In addition to mortality rates, discount rates and credit spreads are also inputs into the valuation of life finance instruments.

Due to the limited observability in the market of mortality rates the vast majority of life finance instruments are categorized as level 3 instruments.

Other investments

Other investments principally includes equity investments in the form of a) direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds, b) equity-method investments where the Group has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee, and c) direct investments in non-marketable equity securities.

Direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity and funds of funds are measured at fair value based on their published net asset values (NAVs). Most of these investments are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as there are restrictions imposed upon the redemption of the funds at their NAV in the near term. In some cases, NAVs may be adjusted where there exists sufficient evidence that the NAV published by the investment manager is not current with observed market movements or there exists other circumstances that would require an adjustment to the published NAV. Significant management judgment is involved in making any adjustments to the published NAVs.

Direct investments in non-marketable equity securities consist of both real estate investments and non-real estate investments. Equity-method investments and direct investments in nonmarketable equity securities are initially measured at their transaction price, as this is the best estimate of fair value. Thereafter, these investments are individually measured at fair value based upon a number of factors that include any recent rounds of financing involving third-party investors, comparable company transactions, multiple analyses of cash flows or book values, or discounted cash flow analyses. The availability of information used in these modeling techniques is often limited and involves significant management judgment in evaluating these different factors over time. As a result, these investments are included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans

The Group’s loan portfolio measured at fair value includes commercial loans, residential loans, corporate loans, leveraged financed loans and emerging market loans. Fair value is based on recent transactions and quoted prices, where available. Where recent transactions and quoted prices are not available, fair value may be determined by relative value benchmarking (which includes pricing based upon another position in the same capital structure, other comparable loan issues, generic industry credit spreads, implied credit spreads derived from CDS for the specific borrower, and enterprise valuations) or calculated based on the exit price of the collateral, based on current market conditions.

Both the funded and unfunded portion of revolving credit lines, on the corporate lending portfolio, are valued using a CDS pricing model, which requires estimates of significant inputs including credit spreads, recovery rates, credit conversion factors, and weighted average life of the loan.

The Group’s other assets and liabilities include mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities and assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The fair value of mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities is determined on a whole-loan basis. Whole-loan valuations are calculated based on the exit price reflecting the current market conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP is determined based on the quoted prices for securitized bonds, where available, or on cash flow analyses for securitized bonds, when quoted prices are not available.

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt

The Group’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt include structured notes (hybrid financial instruments that are both bifurcatable and non-bifurcatable) and vanilla debt.

The fair value of structured notes is based on quoted prices, where available. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group’s credit spreads, the value of derivatives embedded in the debt and the residual term of the issuance based on call options. Derivatives structured into the issued debt are valued consistently with the firms’ stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships as discussed above. The fair value of structured debt is heavily influenced by the combined call options and performance of the underlying derivative returns.

Vanilla debt is fair valued to the new issue market using risk-free yield curves for similar maturities and the Group’s own credit spread.

Note 29 Litigation

The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Group’s material judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, related provisions and estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions are described in Note 37 – Litigation in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2010 and updated in quarterly reports and below. Some of these actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts.

The Group accrues litigation provisions (including fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers) in connection with certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings when reasonably possible losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of its litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management’s judgment and the advice of counsel. Further provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such litigation, claims or proceedings warrant.

It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of these matters. In presenting the condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of these matters, records a provision and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar cases or proceedings, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding or matter.

Most matters pending against the Group seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent reasonably possible losses. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of the complexity of the proceedings, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings and limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors.

In 2Q11, the Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF 69 million, primarily in Investment Banking and Corporate Center. After taking into account its litigation provisions, the Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of its proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings, the ultimate resolution of such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

US tax matter

Credit Suisse has been responding to subpoenas and other requests for information from the Department of Justice (DOJ), SEC and other authorities involving historical Private Banking services provided on a cross-border basis to US persons. US authorities are investigating possible violations of US tax and securities laws. In particular, the DOJ is investigating whether US clients violated their US tax obligations and whether Credit Suisse and certain of its employees assisted such clients. The SEC is investigating whether certain of our relationship managers triggered obligations for Credit Suisse or the relationship managers in Switzerland to register with the SEC as a broker-dealer or investment advisor. A limited number of current or former employees have been indicted or arrested for alleged conduct while employed at Credit Suisse or other financial institutions. Credit Suisse has received a grand jury target letter from the DOJ. We understand that certain US authorities are also investigating other Swiss and non-US financial institutions. We have been conducting an internal investigation and, subject to Swiss legal obligations, are cooperating with the authorities to resolve these matters.

NCFE-related litigation

On April 12, 2011, the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (SDO) granted the summary judgment motion of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) and an affiliate to dismiss the action filed by the trust created through the National Century Financial Enterprises, Inc. and its affiliates (NCFE) bankruptcy plan. The trust filed a motion with the SDO to reconsider that decision on May 11, 2011. CSS LLC and an affiliate filed an opposition to that motion on May 19, 2011. On June 24, 2011, CSS LLC and its affiliates agreed in principle to settle this action and the action filed by the trust and another trust created in NCFE's bankruptcy in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio (objecting to the proofs of claim filed by CSS LLC and its affiliates in NCFE's bankruptcy and seeking disgorgement of amounts previously distributed to CSS LLC and its affiliates under the bankruptcy plan). The agreement in principle with the trusts is subject to the execution of formal settlement documentation and is covered by existing provisions.

Mortgage-related matters

Class action litigations

In June 2011, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) allowed additional RMBS investors to intervene as plaintiffs in the In re IndyMac Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation class action for the purpose of asserting certain claims related to an additional USD 1.7 billion of IndyMac RMBS offerings underwritten by CSS LLC. As a result, the proportional share of IndyMac RMBS at issue for which CSS LLC served as underwriter increased to approximately USD 3.0 billion (approximately 37% of USD 8.1 billion at issue across all banks).

Individual Investor Actions

CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates were named among the defendants in three new individual investor actions: one action brought by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston in Massachusetts state court related to approximately USD 423 million of RMBS at issue (approximately 7% of USD 5.9 billion at issue against all banks); and two actions brought by The Union Central Life Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates in the SDNY related to approximately USD 71 million of RMBS at issue (approximately 36% of USD 199 million at issue against all banks).

Monoline insurer disputes

In the two litigations brought against CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates by monoline insurers related to claims that loans underlying the insured transactions breach certain representations and warranties, the New York state court dismissed both of the monoline insurer plaintiffs’ fraudulent inducement claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates. Plaintiffs are requesting reconsideration by the court.

Auction Rate Securities

On March 31, 2011, the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York denied in part, and granted in part, the Group's motion to dismiss the original complaint of ST Microelectronics (ST), alleging violations of the federal securities laws and various common law causes of action relating to the ARS portfolio, and granted ST's motion to file an amended complaint in the action. On June 2, 2011, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY's confirmation of ST's FINRA arbitration award against CSS LLC (except to the extent that the SDNY failed to credit against the amount of the award USD 75 million received by ST from the sale of certain of the ARS and to reduce the amount of interest owed by CSS LLC accordingly). On June 8, 2011, CSS LLC, the Group and ST settled these cases. Pursuant to the settlement, CSS LLC and the Group paid ST USD 357 million and received the ARS positions and interest in ST's CSS LLC account as of the settlement date. Substantially all of the settlement amount was covered by existing provisions.

ADR litigation

On July 18, 2011, the SDNY granted final approval of the settlement among the Group, certain of its executives and a plaintiff class of purchasers of Group ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange and US purchasers of Group common shares on foreign exchanges, and dismissed with prejudice the entire action.
