Rhea-AI Filing Summary

UBS Group provides a detailed Pillar 3 update for 31 March 2026, highlighting strong capital and liquidity alongside rising regulatory demands. Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital rose to USD 73.3bn, lifting the CET1 ratio to 14.65%, while risk‑weighted assets increased to USD 500.4bn.

Total loss‑absorbing capacity reached USD 197.6bn, supported by USD 3.7bn of new AT1 instruments and USD 9.0bn in TLAC‑eligible senior debt, partly offset by redemptions. UBS estimates future Swiss regulatory changes could require roughly USD 22bn of extra CET1 at UBS AG standalone and reduce Group CET1 by about USD 4bn, on top of around USD 15bn tied to the Credit Suisse acquisition.

Despite these headwinds, liquidity remains robust: the liquidity coverage ratio averaged 177.8% and the net stable funding ratio was 116.9%, both above FINMA requirements. UBS also returned capital, with shareholders approving a USD 1.10 per share dividend and the Group repurchasing USD 0.9bn of shares in the quarter as part of a planned USD 3bn buyback by July 2026.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Forthcoming Swiss regulatory changes are expected to require approximately USD 22bn of additional CET1 at UBS AG standalone and derecognize about USD 4bn of CET1 at Group level, on top of roughly USD 15bn of capital needs linked to the Credit Suisse acquisition, implying around USD 37bn of incremental CET1 demand in total.

Insights

UBS shows strong capital and liquidity but faces sizable extra Swiss capital needs.

UBS reports a solid 14.65% CET1 ratio on USD 73.3bn CET1 and USD 500.4bn RWA. Total loss‑absorbing capacity stands at USD 197.6bn, helped by new USD 3.7bn AT1 and USD 9.0bn senior TLAC‑eligible issuance, underscoring a robust loss‑absorbing stack.

However, Swiss reforms to capitalized software, prudential valuation and, especially, deductions for foreign subsidiaries are expected to require about USD 22bn of extra CET1 at UBS AG standalone and derecognize roughly USD 4bn of CET1 at Group level. Combined with around USD 15bn tied to the Credit Suisse acquisition, UBS estimates a total of roughly USD 37bn additional CET1 needs, a material tightening of its capital constraint.

Liquidity metrics remain comfortably above requirements, with an LCR of 177.8% and NSFR of 116.9% as of 31 March 2026. Meanwhile, UBS continues shareholder returns via a USD 1.10 per share dividend and a planned USD 3bn buyback by July 2026. The balance between meeting larger future capital requirements and sustaining capital returns will be a key theme in subsequent disclosures as Swiss legislative proposals progress.

common equity tier 1 (CET1) financial
"Our common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital increased by USD 2.1bn to USD 73.3bn"
Common equity tier 1 (CET1) is the core capital of a bank made up of ordinary shares and retained profits that can absorb losses without the bank needing to borrow or cut customer services. Investors watch CET1 as a safety cushion indicator: higher CET1 means a bank is better able to withstand bad losses and maintain payouts, while a falling CET1 can signal higher risk or the need for new capital.
risk-weighted assets (RWA) financial
"During the first quarter of 2026, RWA increased by USD 7.0bn to USD 500.4bn"
liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) financial
"The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio of the UBS Group decreased 4.8 percentage points to 177.8%"
A liquidity coverage ratio measures whether a bank holds enough cash and easily sold, high-quality assets to cover its expected net cash outflows for 30 days under stress. Think of it as a household emergency fund that proves the bank could pay its bills for a month without selling illiquid items at fire-sale prices. Investors use it to gauge short-term resilience, regulatory compliance, and the likelihood of funding strain.
net stable funding ratio (NSFR) financial
"As of 31 March 2026, the net stable funding ratio of the UBS Group increased 0.9 percentage points to 116.9%"

Introduction and basis for preparation
Scope of Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures
The
Basel
Committee
on
Banking
Supervision
(the
BCBS)
final
Basel III
capital
adequacy
framework
consists
of
three
complementary pillars. Pillar 1 provides a framework for measuring
minimum capital requirements for the credit, market
and operational risks faced by banks. Pillar 2 addresses the principles
of the supervisory review process, emphasizing the
need for
a qualitative
approach
to supervising
banks. Pillar 3
requires
banks to
publish a
range of
disclosures, mainly
covering risk, capital, leverage, liquidity and remuneration.
This
report
provides
Pillar 3
disclosures
for
the
UBS
Group
and
prudential
key
figures
and
regulatory
information
for
UBS AG consolidated and standalone,
UBS Switzerland AG standalone, UBS Europe
SE consolidated and UBS
Americas
Holding LLC consolidated in the respective sections under “Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups”.
This
Pillar
3
report
has
been
prepared
in
accordance
with
the
Swiss
Financial
Market
Supervisory
Authority
(FINMA)
Ordinance on the Disclosure Obligations of Banks and Securities Firms (the DisO-FINMA), the corresponding explanatory
notes, and the underlying BCBS Basel framework disclosure requirements. The revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance (the
CAO) that
incorporates the
final Basel III
standards into
Swiss law,
and the
five new
FINMA ordinances
(including the
DisO-FINMA) that contain the implementing
provisions for the revised
CAO, entered into force
on 1 January 2025. The
DisO-FINMA
replaces
FINMA
Circular
2016/1
“Disclosure
banks”
and
incorporates
in
particular
new
and
revised
disclosure tables on risks and capital requirements.
Refer to “Changes to Pillar 3 disclosure requirements” in the “Introduction
and basis for preparation” section of the 31 March
2025 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at
ubs.com/investors
, for more information about new and revised
quarterly tables as a result of the implementation of the final Basel III standards
in Switzerland
As UBS
is a
systemically relevant
bank (an
SRB) under
Swiss banking
law, UBS
Group AG and
UBS AG are
required to
comply
with
regulations
based
on
the
final
Basel III
framework
as
applicable
to
Swiss
SRBs
on
a
consolidated
basis,
whereas UBS Switzerland AG is exempt from consolidation.
Local
regulators
may
also
require
the
publication
of
Pillar 3
information
at
a
subsidiary
or
sub-group
level.
Where
applicable, these local disclosures are provided under “Holding company and
significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-
groups” at
ubs.com/investors
.
Significant regulatory developments, disclosure requirements and other changes
Banking regulation in Switzerland
In April
2026, the
Swiss Federal
Council published
its final
amendments to
the CAO
specifying the
regulatory capital
treatment of selected
assets. Under the
amended ordinance, UBS’s
capitalized software will
be subject to
an amortization
of a maximum of three years for
regulatory capital purposes, irrespective of the actual economic
useful life. In addition,
prudential valuation adjustments
will be revised,
resulting in
higher capital deductions
for assets and
liabilities that are
subject to valuation uncertainty. The capital treatment of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences remains
unchanged.
The
amendments
to
the
CAO
will
become
effective
on
1 January
2027,
except
for
the
revised
capital
treatment of capitalized software, which will apply from 1 January 2029.
Regarding
additional tier
1
(AT1)
capital
instruments, the
Swiss
Federal
Council
has
decided
not
to
proceed with
the
adjustments proposed
in June
2025. The
Swiss Federal
Council also
finalized measures
that aim
to enable
FINMA and
other authorities to better assess the liquidity of banks in a stressed situation.
In addition, the
Swiss Federal Council
submitted to the
Swiss Parliament its
final proposal
for amendments
to the Banking
Act that govern the capital treatment of systemically important banks’ investments in foreign
subsidiaries. This proposal
will now be deliberated
by the Swiss Parliament.
Under the proposal, investments
in foreign subsidiaries would be
fully
deducted from
UBS AG’s standalone
common equity
tier 1 (CET1)
capital. The
amendments would
be phased
in over
seven
years,
with
a
65%
deduction
requirement
in
the
first
year
and
increasing
to
100%
by
5-percentage-point
increments each year.
For UBS AG standalone, the amendments at the ordinance level related to capitalized software and prudential valuation
adjustments, once
fully implemented,
are expected
to have
a net
CET1 capital
impact of
approximately USD 2bn.
The
proposed full deduction of investments
in foreign subsidiaries would require
UBS AG standalone to hold additional
CET1
capital
of
around
USD 20bn.
The
total
incremental CET1
capital
would
amount
to
around
USD 22bn
required
at
the
UBS AG standalone level. At the Group level, the amendments at ordinance level
will lead to a derecognition of around
USD 4bn
of
net
CET1
capital.
These
estimates
have
been
calculated
based
on
UBS Group AG’s
consolidated
balance
sheet
as
of
31 December
2025,
assuming
that
all
capital
measures
are
adopted
as
currently
proposed
and
using
an
assumed CET1 capital ratio of 12.5% for UBS AG and 14.0% for UBS Group.
31 March 2026 Pillar 3 Report |
UBS Group | Introduction and basis for preparation

The
incremental
capital
requirement
of
USD 22bn
mentioned above
would
come
on
top
of
the
USD 15bn
of
capital
required
as
a
result
of
the
Credit
Suisse
acquisition.
This
includes
around
USD 9bn
in
response
to
the
abolition
of
regulatory concessions
that had been
granted to
Credit Suisse
and around
USD 6bn to meet
the progressive
requirements
due to
the increased size
and higher
market share
of the
combined business. On
this basis,
UBS would
be required
to
hold around USD 37bn of additional CET1 capital in total.
The Swiss National Bank establishes the basis for the Extended Liquidity Facility
In February 2026, the Swiss National Bank (the SNB) introduced the Extended
Liquidity Facility (the ELF). The ELF extends
the existing Emergency
Liquidity Assistance (the
ELA) to eligible
banks domiciled in
Switzerland and provides
access to
liquidity support from the SNB through a streamlined process. Up to the bank-specific ELF limit, no application
or formal
solvency confirmation is
required for
liquidity drawdowns. For
amounts exceeding the
ELF limit, banks
must submit an
application and provide evidence
of solvency and viability,
supported by an opinion from
FINMA. All drawdowns under
the ELF must be fully collateralized.
After a pilot phase in 2026,
the ELF is expected to become
operational in early 2027.
For drawdowns up to the ELF limit, UBS expects the ELF to reduce the operational burden for accessing liquidity support
from the SNB.
Developments related to the implementation of the final Basel III standards
In March
2026, the Federal
Reserve Board,
the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the
FDIC) and the
Office of
the
Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) issued proposals
with an impact on capital requirements, including proposals
to
implement the
remaining elements
of the
final Basel III
guidelines, a
modified standardized
approach and
the recalibration
of the surcharge for
global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Under
the first proposal, category I banks
(US G-SIBs)
and category II
banks would
be subject
to the
expanded risk-based
approach (the
ERBA) for
calculating risk-weighted
assets. The second proposal would introduce a revised standardized approach to risk-based capital
for banks not subject
to the ERBA,
including UBS Americas
Holding LLC. In
addition, UBS Americas
Holding LLC would
not be required to
apply
an operational risk
charge. The consultation
does not propose
a start date
or phase-in period.
The proposals
are open
for
comment
until
18 June
2026.
The
impact
on
UBS
will
depend
on
the
final
regulations
and
future
business
development.
Also in the
first quarter of
2026, the European
Commission launched a
consultation on the
competitiveness of the
EU
banking sector and the complexity and effectiveness
of the EU prudential and macroprudential
framework, and the UK
Prudential Regulation
Authority (the
PRA) published
its final
policy statements
on the
implementation of
the Basel 3.1
standards. The implementation of these remains
set for 1 January 2027, with full
phase-in by 1 January 2030, except
for
the implementation of the
internal model approach for
market risk in
accordance with the
Fundamental Review of the
Trading Book (the FRTB) framework, which has been postponed to 1 January 2028.
Other developments
Credit Suisse International standalone
In agreement with
FINMA, starting
with the 31 March
2026 Pillar 3
Report, we have
discontinued the quarterly
disclosure
of prudential key figures and regulatory information for Credit Suisse International standalone.
Capital returns
On 15 April
2026, the
shareholders approved
a dividend
of USD 1.10
per share
at the
Annual General
Meeting. The
dividend was paid on 23 April 2026 to shareholders of record on 22 April 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased USD 0.9bn of shares
and we are on track to repurchase USD 3bn of shares
by the end of July
2026, with an aim to
do more by year-end 2026.
The amount of additional repurchases is
subject to
our financial
performance and
outlook, maintaining
a CET1
capital ratio
of around
14% at
year-end, and
visibility on
parliamentary deliberations on the treatment of foreign subsidiaries.
Frequency and comparability of Pillar 3 disclosures
The
DisO-FINMA
specifies
the
reporting
frequency
for
each
disclosure.
In
line
with
these
FINMA-specified
disclosure
requirements,
including
with
regard
to
comparative
periods,
we
provide
quantitative
comparative
information
as
of
31 December 2025 for disclosures
required on a quarterly
basis. Where specifically required
by FINMA and / or the
BCBS,
we disclose comparative information for additional reporting dates.

Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The KM1 and
KM2 tables below
are based on
the Swiss Financial
Market Supervisory Authority
(FINMA) Ordinance on
the Disclosure Obligations of
Banks and Securities Firms
(DisO-FINMA) rules. The KM2
table includes a reference
to the
total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)
term sheet, published by
the Financial Stability Board
(the FSB). The FSB
provides this
term sheet at
fsb.org/2015/11/total-loss-absorbing-capacity-tlac-principles-and-term-sheet
.
Our capital ratio increased, reflecting an increase in our tier 1 capital, partly offset by an increase in risk-weighted assets
(RWA). Our leverage ratio
increased, driven by an
increase in our tier 1
capital, partly offset by
an increase in the
leverage
ratio denominator (the LRD).
Our common
equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital increased
by USD 2.1bn to
USD 73.3bn, mainly
driven by
operating profit before
tax
of
USD 3.8bn,
partly
offset
by
dividend
accruals
of
USD 0.9bn,
current
tax
expenses
of
USD 0.5bn
and
negative
foreign currency
translation effects
of USD 0.2bn.
Share repurchases
of USD 0.9bn
made under
our new,
2026 share
repurchase
program
in
the
first
quarter
of
2026
did
not
affect
our
CET1
capital
position,
as
there
was
an
identical
reduction in the capital reserve for expected future share repurchases.
Our tier 1
capital increased
by USD 5.8bn
to USD 97.0bn,
reflecting the
aforementioned USD
2.1bn increase
in CET1
capital and a
USD 3.7bn increase in
additional tier 1 (AT1)
capital. The increase
in AT1 capital
predominantly reflected the
issuance of new AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 3.7bn.
The TLAC available
as of 31 March
2026 included CET1
capital, AT1 capital
and non-regulatory capital
elements of TLAC.
Our available
TLAC increased
by USD 10.2bn
to USD 197.6bn,
reflecting the
aforementioned increase
in tier 1
capital
and a USD 4.5bn increase in
non-regulatory capital elements of
TLAC. The increase in non-regulatory
capital elements of
TLAC
was
mainly
driven
by
new
issuances
totaling
USD 9.0bn
equivalent
of
TLAC-eligible
senior
unsecured
debt
instruments, partly
offset by
the redemption
of TLAC-eligible
senior unsecured
debt instruments
for the
equivalent of
USD 3.3bn and negative impacts from interest rate risk hedge, foreign currency translation and other effects.
During the first
quarter of 2026,
RWA increased by
USD 7.0bn to USD 500.4bn,
driven by a
USD 7.8bn increase resulting
from asset
size and
other movements
and a
USD 1.0bn increase
driven by
model updates
and methodology
changes,
partly offset by a USD 1.9bn decrease from currency effects.
The
LRD
increased
by
USD 31.0bn
to
USD 1,653.5bn,
driven
by
a
USD 40.6bn
increase
from
asset
size
and
other
movements, partly offset by a USD 9.5bn decrease from currency effects.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio of the UBS Group decreased 4.8 percentage points to 177.8%, remaining
above
the
prudential
requirement
communicated
by
FINMA.
Average
net
cash
outflows
increased
by
USD 6.2bn
to
USD 187.9bn, primarily reflecting higher net outflows from
deposits. The effect of the increase in net
cash outflows was
partly offset by a USD 2.4bn increase in average high-quality liquid assets (HQLA),
mainly reflecting
higher cash available
due to an increase
in customer deposits, higher proceeds
from debt issued at
amortized cost and higher
net brokerage
payables, partly offset
by lower cash
available from higher
lending assets and
cash collateral margin
requirements, as well
as a decrease in HQLA from securities financing transactions.
As
of
31 March
2026,
the
net
stable
funding
ratio
of
the
UBS
Group
increased
0.9 percentage
points
to
116.9%,
remaining above
the prudential
requirement communicated
by FINMA.
Available stable
funding increased
by USD 14.6bn
to USD 896.6bn, mainly driven by
increases in debt issued measured
at amortized cost and regulatory
capital. Required
stable
funding
increased
by
USD 7.0bn
to
USD 766.8bn,
mainly
reflecting
higher
derivatives
and
cash
collateral
receivables on derivative instruments,
and higher lending assets, partly offset by lower trading assets.

Risk-weighted assets
Overview of risk-weighted assets and capital requirements
The
OV1
table
below
provides
an
overview
of
our
risk-weighted
assets
(RWA)
and
the
related
minimum
capital
requirements by
risk type.
The table
presented is
based on
the respective Swiss
Financial Market Supervisory
Authority
(FINMA) template and empty rows indicate current non-applicability to UBS.
During the first
quarter of 2026,
RWA increased by
USD 7.0bn to USD 500.4bn,
driven by a
USD 7.8bn increase resulting
from asset
size and
other movements
and a
USD 1.0bn increase
driven by
model updates
and methodology
changes,
partly offset by a USD 1.9bn decrease from currency effects.
Credit and counterparty credit risk
Credit and counterparty credit risk RWA include settlement risk, credit valuation adjustments, equity and investments in
funds exposures in
the banking book, and
securitization exposures in the
banking book but exclude
non-counterparty-
related
risk.
Credit
and counterparty
credit
risk RWA
increased
by USD 5.7bn
to USD 305.7bn
as
of 31 March
2026,
driven by a USD 6.5bn increase resulting from
asset size and other movements and a USD 1.0bn increase
due to model
updates and methodology changes, partly offset by a USD 1.8bn decrease from currency effects.
Asset size and other movements by business division and Group Items
Investment Bank RWA
increased by
USD 5.1bn, mainly
due to increases
in loans and
loan commitments,
market-driven
movements and higher levels of client activity in derivatives, and increased allocation of high-quality liquid assets.
Global
Wealth
Management
RWA
increased
by
USD 1.9bn,
primarily
driven
by
increases
in
loans
and
loan
commitments, and higher levels of client activity and market-driven movements in derivatives.
Personal & Corporate
Banking RWA increased
by USD 0.5bn, mainly
due to higher
RWA on derivatives,
partly offset
by the sale of our 50% interest in Swisscard AECS GmbH.
Group Items RWA increased by USD 0.1bn.
Non-core and Legacy RWA decreased
by USD 0.7bn, primarily driven by
our actions to actively unwind
the portfolio,
in addition to the natural roll-off.
Asset Management RWA decreased by USD 0.3bn.
Model updates and
methodology changes resulted
in an RWA
increase of USD 1.0bn,
mainly reflecting higher
RWA from
model harmonization of
Swiss corporate exposures
in Personal
& Corporate Banking
and updates to
the methodology
for residual risk on legacy synthetic securitizations
in the Investment Bank. This was
partly offset by decreases in RWA on
recourse-based lending in
Global Wealth Management
and commodity trade
finance facilities in
Personal &
Corporate
Banking.
Market risk
Market
risk
RWA
increased
by
USD 0.8bn
to
USD 24.5bn
in
the
first
quarter
of
2026,
due
to
asset
size
and
other
movements in the Investment Bank’s Global Markets business.
Operational risk
Operational risk RWA were unchanged at USD 135.4bn.
The flow tables for credit risk, counterparty
credit risk (CCR) and credit valuation adjustment
(CVA) RWA below provide
further details regarding the movements in RWA in the first quarter of 2026.

3 The Swiss sectoral real estate
floor is not applicable at the level
of UBS Group AG
consolidated.
4 Excludes settlement risk, which is separately reported in line 15 “Settlement risk”. Includes RWA with central counterparties.
The split between the sub-components of counterparty credit risk refers
to the calculation
of the
exposure measure.
5 Includes items
subject to
threshold deduction
treatment that
do not exceed
their respective threshold
and are risk
weighted at
250%. Items subject
to threshold
deduction treatment include significant investments in common shares
of non-consolidated financial institutions (banking, insurance
and financial entities) and deferred tax assets arising
from temporary differences.
6 The overall
output floor of
72.5% is subject
to a phase-in
until 1 January
2028. As of
1 January 2026,
the applicable overall
output floor at
the level of
UBS Group AG
consolidated increased to
65% and will
increase to 70% in 2027.
7 FINMA has not opted to implement a transitional cap that would limit the increase in RWA to 25% of a bank’s RWA before the application of the output floor.
8 The total of our actual
final Basel III RWA
is higher than 65%
of our final Basel
III RWA calculated using
the full standardized approach.
Therefore, the
overall output floor is
not binding, and our
RWA before and after
the effects of the
overall output floor are equal.
Comparison of modelled and standardized RWA at risk level
The
CMS1
table
compares
RWA
determined
using
models
approved
by
FINMA
with
RWA
determined
under
the
full
standardized approach. The table also provides the full standardized approach
for RWA that are the base of the phased-
in overall
output floor.
The purpose
of the
overall output
floor is
to ensure
that banks’
capital requirements
based on
modelled approaches where permitted do
not fall below a
certain percentage of capital requirements
based on the full
standardized
approach,
thereby
reducing
excessive
variability
of
RWA
and
enhancing
the
comparability
of
risk-based
capital ratios across
banks. The impact
of the output
floor, if applicable,
will be disclosed
in the “OV1:
Overview of RWA”
table in rows 27 and 28.
The applicable threshold pursuant to
the reporting date is disclosed
in row 26 of the
OV1 table,
and in column e in the CMS1 table below. As of 1 January 2026, the output floor increased to 65% from 60% and will
incrementally increase
to a
level of
72.5% by
2028. As
of 31 March
2026, the
floor is
not binding
at the
level of
UBS
Group, i.e. the
total of our
actual RWA shown
in column c
in the
CMS1 table below
is greater than
65% of
the RWA
calculated under
the full
standardized approach
shown in
column e,
and therefore
no adjustment
is required.
UBS is
undertaking
mitigating
actions
with
respect
to
RWA
under
the
standardized
approach
to
minimize
a
future
floor
adjustment required as the level of the output floor increases.

The table
below provides
a summary
of the
key conceptual
differences between
the internal
model approach
and the
standardized approach.
31 March 2026 Pillar 3 Report |
UBS Group | Risk-weighted assets
8
Key differences between the internal model approach and the standardized approach
Internal model approach
Standardized approach
Key impact
Risk weighting
Reliance on internal ratings where each
counterparty / transaction receives a rating.
Reliance on external credit assessment institutions
where permitted in the regulatory framework.
Modelled approach produces RWA that is more risk
sensitive.
Granular risk-sensitive risk weight differentiation
via individual probability of default (PD) and loss
given default (LGD) for mortgages.
Less granular risk weights based on loan-to-value
(LTV)
bands for mortgages.
The Group’s residential mortgage portfolio is
focused on the Swiss market, and the Group has
robust review processes in place concerning
borrowers’ ability to repay. This results in the
Group’s residential mortgage portfolio having a low
average LTV and results in an average risk
weight
of around 20% under the advanced internal
ratings-based (A-IRB) approach.
Modelled LGD captures transaction quality
features including collateralization. Under the
foundation internal ratings-based (F-IRB)
approach, the LGD values are calculated based
on the rules set by FINMA.
No differentiation for transaction features (except
where a claim is subordinated).
Impact relevant across all asset classes.
Credit risk mitigation
Credit risk mitigation recognized via risk-sensitive
LGD or exposure at default (EAD).
Limited recognition of credit risk mitigation.
Standardized approach RWA is higher than
modelled RWA for most transaction types.
Wider variety of eligible collateral.
Restricted list of eligible collateral.
Limited recognition of collateral results in higher
RWA for Lombard lending and securities financing
transactions (SFTs).
Repo value-at-risk (VaR)
permits the use of VaR
models to estimate exposure and collateral for
SFTs. Approach permits full diversification and
netting across all collateral types.
Conservative and crude regulatory haircuts with
limited risk-sensitivity.
The effects of guarantees and credit derivatives
are considered through either adjusting PD
and / or LGD estimates. UBS applies the F-IRB
approach for guarantee recognition.
In case of eligible guarantees and credit derivatives,
substitution is applied and the risk weight
applicable to the protection provider can be
assigned to the protected portion of the underlying
exposure.
CCF
A credit conversion factor (CCF) is applied to
model expected future drawdowns over the 12-
month period, irrespective of the actual maturity
of a particular transaction. The CCF includes
downturn adjustments and is the result of
analysis of internal data and expert opinion.
Credit exposure equivalents are determined by
applying CCFs to off-balance sheet items. The CCFs
vary based on product type, maturity and the
underlying contractual agreements.
Modelled CCFs can be more tailored and
differentiated.
EAD for derivatives
Internal model method (IMM) facilitates the use
of a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate
exposure.
The standardized approach for CCR (SA-CCR) is
calculated as the replacement costs plus regulatory
add-ons that take into account potential future
market moves at predetermined fixed rates.
For large, diversified derivatives portfolios,
standardized EAD is higher than modelled EAD.
Application of multiplier on IMM exposure
estimate.
Differentiates add-ons by five exposure types and
three maturity buckets only.
Variability in holding period applied to
collateralized transactions, reflecting liquidity
risks.
Limited netting can be recognized.
EAD for SFTs
The repo VaR approach is a model based on a
Monte Carlo simulation and historical calibration
to estimate exposure, computed as quantile
exposure.
The comprehensive approach considers the adjusted
exposure after applicable supervisory haircuts on
both the exposure and the collateral received to
take account of possible future fluctuations in the
value of either the exposure or the collateral.
For large, diversified SFT portfolios, standardized
EAD is higher than modelled EAD.
Maturity in risk weight
Regulatory RWA function considers maturity: the
longer the maturity, the higher the risk weight.
No differentiation for maturity of transactions,
except for interbank exposures.
Model approach produces lower RWA for high-
quality, short-term transactions.
Credit valuation
adjustment
Not applicable under the final Basel III standards.
UBS calculates the CVA risk capital requirement
using both the standardized approach (SA-CVA)
and the full basic approach (BA-CVA) in line with
the final Basel III standards. The SA-CVA uses
sensitivities to market risk factors (e.g. interest rates
and credit spreads) and uses those sensitivities with
regulatory-prescribed risk weights and correlations
to arrive at a capital charge. The BA-CVA approach
is simpler and less risk sensitive.
Where the BA-CVA and the SA-CVA are applied
under the output floor calculation, the application
of internal ratings is not permitted.
Securitization exposures
in the banking book
The regulatory capital requirements are
calculated using a hierarchy of approaches. First,
the securitization internal ratings-based approach
(SEC-IRBA) is applied, if possible. If this approach
cannot be applied, one of the standardized
approaches is applied.
If the SEC-IRBA cannot be applied, the regulatory
capital requirements are calculated using the
following hierarchy of approaches: the securitization
external ratings-based approach or the
securitization standardized approach (SEC-SA).
Otherwise, a 1,250% risk weight is applied as a
fallback.

Key differences between the internal model approach and the standardized approach (continued)
Internal model approach
Standardized approach
Key impact
Market risk
UBS does not apply the internal model approach
for market risk.
UBS currently applies the standardized approach of
the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (the
FRTB)
framework, in which minimum market risk
capital requirements are computed on the basis of
three components: the sensitivities-based method
(the SBM), the default risk charge (the DRC) and
the residual risk add-on (the RRAO). The SBM
captures delta, vega and curvature risk of the
underlying trading positions, the DRC uses the
jump-to-default risk in positions subject to equity
and credit risk, and positions that may not be
adequately capitalized by the SBM and the DRC
additionally attract an RRAO charge.
Where the standardized approach is applied under
the output floor calculation, the application of
internal ratings is not permitted.
The new FRTB framework replaced the VaR
-
and
stressed VaR-based Basel 2.5 market risk
framework.
Operational risk
Not applicable under the final Basel III standards.
The standardized approach is based on the business
indicator component, derived from financial
statement metrics, as well as the internal loss
multiplier, derived from average historical
operational losses. The new framework replaced the
advanced measurement approach.
As
of
31 March
2026,
the
output
floor
is
set
at

standardized approach. This floor is USD 23.6bn below the actual RWA of USD 500.4bn.
During the first quarter
of 2026, the difference
between RWA calculated using
the full standardized approach
and actual
RWA increased by
USD 3.7bn, to USD 233.1bn
from USD 229.3bn. This
increase was primarily
driven by changes
in asset
size
and
other
movements,
partially
offset
by
RWA
mitigation
actions
undertaken
during
the
quarter
and
foreign
exchange movements.
Credit risk RWA under the full
standardized approach were higher than actual RWA. Under
the standardized approach,
fixed
risk
weights
are
applied
to
residential
mortgage
exposures,
depending
on
the
LTV.
The
internal
model-based
approach considers
borrowers’ ability
to service
debt more
accurately, including
mortgage affordability
and calibration
based on
historic data. The
Group’s residential mortgage
portfolio is focused
on the Swiss
market, and the
Group has
robust review processes in place
concerning borrowers’ ability to repay.
This results in the Group’s
residential mortgage
portfolio having a low
average LTV and consequently
a lower average risk
weight under the A-IRB
approach compared
with the standardized approach. For Lombard lending the average risk weight
using internal models is lower than under
the standardized
approach, primarily
due to
differences in
collateral treatment.
In addition,
corporate exposures
have
higher risk weights under the standardized approach compared with the average risk density in the modelled approach.
CCR RWA
under the
full standardized
approach were
higher than
actual RWA,
primarily reflecting
higher risk
weights
under the standardized
approach compared with
the IRB risk
weights mainly in
the corporate asset
class, especially on
managed funds. In addition
to risk weights, exposures
calculated under the standardized
approach are higher, because
the standardized approach does not fully recognize the benefits of netting, portfolio diversification and collateral.
CVA RWA calculated
using the full
standardized approach were
higher than actual
RWA, as the
application of internal
ratings is not permitted under the standardized approach for output floor calculations.
RWA on securitization
exposure in the
banking book calculated
using the full
standardized approach were
higher than
actual RWA, due
to more conservative
assumptions and less
granular risk assessments
permitted under the
SEC-SA when
compared with the SEC-IRBA framework.

RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under the internal ratings-based approach
The
CR8
table
below
provides
a
breakdown
of
the
credit
risk
RWA
movements
in
the
first
quarter
of
2026
across
movement categories defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS).
Credit risk RWA under the
IRB approach increased by USD 1.9bn
to USD 197.2bn during the first
quarter of 2026. This
balance reflects credit risk under the IRB approach, including the supervisory slotting approach.
Movements in asset
size drove an
USD 11.0bn increase
in RWA, mainly
driven by increases
in cash and
balances at central
banks in Group Treasury, and loans and loan commitments in the Investment Bank and Global Wealth Management.
Movements in asset quality decreased RWA by
USD 9.7bn, mainly due to changes in
the portfolio mix from an increase
in cash and balances at central banks.
Model
updates
increased
RWA
by
USD 2.5bn,
reflecting
higher
RWA
from
model
harmonization
of
Swiss
corporate
exposures in Personal & Corporate
Banking and the application of
the IRB approach for
recourse-based lending in Global
Wealth Management.
Methodology and policy changes resulted in an RWA decrease of USD 0.5bn.
Currency effects,
driven by
the strengthening
of the
US dollar
against other
major currencies,
resulted in
an RWA
decrease
of USD 1.4bn.

for
derivatives and the VaR approach for SFTs
across movement categories defined by the BCBS.
During the first
quarter of 2026,
the increase in RWA
for derivatives subjected to
IMM was primarily
driven by market-
driven movements and higher levels
of client activity in the
Investment Bank. The increase
in RWA for SFTs under

points for RWA reflect
a Pillar 2 capital add-on
for the residual exposure
(after collateral mitigation)
to hedge funds,
private equity and
family offices, effective
1 January 2025.
2 Includes the Pillar
2 add-on for the
residual exposure (after
collateral mitigation) to
hedge funds, private
equity and family offices
of 0.15% for CET1
capital and 0.07% for
AT1 capital, effective
1 January 2025. For
AT1 capital under
Pillar 1 requirements a
maximum of 4.3% of AT1
capital can be used to
meet going
concern requirements; 4.37% includes
the aforementioned Pillar 2
capital add-on.
3 Our CET1 leverage ratio
requirement of 3.58% consists
of a 1.5% base requirement,
a 1.5% base buffer
capital requirement,
a 0.28% LRD add-on requirement and a 0.30% market share add-on requirement based
on our Swiss credit business.
4 UBS fulfills its minimum going concern capital requirements with
CET1 capital and AT1 capital.
The actual available and eligible AT1 capital is above the AT1 capital used to meet the minimum requirements (which is capped at 4.37% as explained in footnote 2) as UBS exceeds its minimum going concern capital
requirements.
5 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern
requirement has been met with
instruments that have a remaining
maturity of greater than two
years, all instruments that
have a remaining maturity of
between one and two years
remain eligible to be included
in
the total gone concern capital.
6 Systemically important banks (SIBs) are subject to base gone
concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going concern
requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer
requirements and the Pillar 2 add-on).
7 The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
Authority (FINMA) has the authority to impose
a surcharge of up to 25% of the
total going concern capital requirements (excluding
countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-on) should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments.
8 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.24% for RWA and 0.43% for
LRD.
9 Includes an add-back of 45% of unrealized gains from financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income. Such gains do not qualify as CET1 capital, but 45% of these gains can be
recognized as gone concern capital.

Leverage ratio
Basel III leverage ratio
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the BCBS) leverage ratio, as summarized in the “KM1: Key metrics”
table
in
section
2
of
this
report,
is
calculated
by
dividing
the
period-end
tier 1
capital
by
the
period-end
leverage
ratio
denominator (the LRD).
The LRD consists of on-balance sheet assets
and off-balance sheet items based on IFRS
Accounting Standards. Derivative
exposures are adjusted
for netting of
replacement values and
eligible cash variation
margin, potential future
exposure,
and net
notional amounts
for written
credit derivatives.
The LRD
also includes
an additional
charge for
counterparty credit
risk related to securities financing transactions (SFTs).
On-balance
sheet
items
(excluding
derivatives and
securities financing
transactions
(SFTs),
but
including
collateral),
as
disclosed in the
LR2 table, differ
from IFRS Accounting
Standards total assets
due to adjustments
to the former
for the
application of the regulatory scope of consolidation and
due to the carrying amounts for derivative financial
instruments
and SFTs, which
are removed and
replaced with exposures,
as per the
leverage ratio rules,
in separate line
items in the
LR2 table.
Difference between the Swiss systemically relevant bank leverage ratio and BCBS leverage ratio
The LRD is the
same under Swiss systemically
relevant bank (SRB) and
BCBS rules. However,
there is a difference
in the
capital numerator between
the two frameworks.
Under BCBS rules only
common equity tier 1 and
additional tier 1 (AT1)
capital are included in the
numerator.
Under Swiss SRB rules UBS is
required to meet going
and gone concern leverage
ratio requirements.
Therefore, depending
on the
requirement, the
numerator includes tier
1 capital
instruments, tier 2
capital instruments and / or total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible senior unsecured debt.
The difference
between the
total leverage
ratio exposures
of USD 1,653.5bn
and total
consolidated assets
as per
the
published financial statements
of USD 1,686.5bn was
USD 33.1bn, reflecting the

5 The total Swiss SRB leverage
ratio requirement of 5.08%
as of 31 March 2026 (5% as of 31 December 2025) is composed of a base requirement and a buffer requirement. The total
requirement is above the BCBS leverage ratio requirement, including the G-SIB buffer.
LRD development during the first quarter of 2026
During the first quarter of 2026, the LRD increased by
USD 31.0bn to USD 1,653.5bn, driven by a USD 40.6bn increase
from asset size and other movements,
partly offset by a USD 9.5bn decrease from currency effects.
31 March 2026 Pillar 3 Report |
UBS Group | Leverage ratio
15
On-balance sheet exposures
(excluding derivatives
and securities financing
transactions) increased
by USD 32.0bn, mainly
due to
asset size
and other
movements of
USD 39.9bn, partly
offset by
currency effects
of USD 7.9bn.
The asset
size
movement
was
mainly
due
to
increases
in
cash
and
balances
at
central
banks
and
high-quality
liquid
asset
portfolio
securities in Group Treasury. In addition, there was an increase in lending assets, mainly reflecting positive net
new loans
in
Global
Wealth
Management
and
Personal
&
Corporate
Banking,
and
an
increase
in
the
Investment
Bank.
These
increases were
partly offset
by decreases
in trading
assets reflecting
lower inventory
held to
hedge client
positions, as
well as market-driven decreases in the Investment Bank. In addition, the initial
margin on derivatives of USD 14.0bn was
reclassified from Derivative exposures to On-balance sheet exposures.
Derivative exposures decreased by
USD 5.4bn, mainly due
to asset size and
other movements of
USD 4.8bn and currency
effects of USD 0.6bn.
The asset size
movement was mainly
due to the
aforementioned reclassification of
initial margin
to On-balance sheet exposures and higher netting,
partly offset by increases in derivatives and cash
collateral receivables
on derivative instruments, mainly in the Investment Bank, driven by equity
and foreign currency contracts, mainly due to
new trades, as well as market-driven increases.
Securities financing transaction
exposures increased by
USD 10.9bn,
mainly due
to asset
size and other
movements of
USD 11.6bn, partly offset by currency effects of USD 0.7bn. The asset size movement
was primarily due to higher levels
of client activity in the Investment Bank and cash reinvestment trades in Group Treasury.
Off-balance
sheet
items
decreased
by
USD 6.5bn,
mainly
due
to
asset
size
and
other
movements
of
USD 6.1bn
and
currency effects of USD 0.4bn. The asset size movement was primarily
due to credit lines in Global Wealth Management
becoming uncommitted following changes to certain contractual terms in the course of client account migrations in the
first quarter of 2026.

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

High-quality liquid assets
HQLA must be
easily and immediately
convertible into cash
at little or
no loss of
value, especially during
a period of
stress.
HQLA are
assets that
are
of low
risk and
are
unencumbered. Other
characteristics of
HQLA are
ease and
certainty of
valuation, low correlation
with risky assets,
listing of the
assets on a
developed and recognized
exchange, existence of
an active and sizable market for
the assets, and low volatility.
Our HQLA predominantly consist of
assets that qualify as
Level 1 in the LCR framework, including cash, central bank reserves and
government bonds. In the first quarter of 2026,
our HQLA
increased by USD
2.4bn to
USD 334.0bn, mainly
reflecting higher
cash available
due to
an increase in
customer
deposits, higher proceeds from debt issued
at amortized cost and higher net brokerage
payables, partly offset by lower
cash available from
higher lending assets
and cash collateral
margin requirements, as
well as a
decrease in HQLA
from
securities financing transactions.

Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The
table
below
is
based
on
the
Swiss
Financial
Market
Supervisory
Authority
(FINMA)
Ordinance
on
the
Disclosure
Obligations of Banks and Securities Firms (DisO-FINMA) rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During
the first
quarter of
2026,
tier 1
capital increased
by
USD 4.1bn to
USD 94.1bn. Common
equity tier 1
(CET1)
capital increased by USD 0.5bn to
USD 70.9bn, mainly driven by operating profit
before tax of USD 3.2bn, partly
offset
by
additional
dividend
accruals
of
USD 1.8bn,
current
tax
expenses
of
USD 0.5bn
and
negative
foreign
currency
translation effects of USD 0.2bn. Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on lent to UBS AG increased by
USD 3.7bn to USD 23.3bn, reflecting the issuance of new AT1 capital instruments equivalent to USD 3.7bn.
Risk-weighted assets
(RWA) increased
by USD 7.7bn
to USD 497.4bn,
driven by
an USD 8.5bn
increase resulting
from
asset size and
other movements and
a USD 1.0bn increase
driven by model
updates and methodology
changes, partly
offset by a USD 1.8bn decrease from currency effects.
The
leverage
ratio
denominator
(the
LRD)
increased
by
USD 32.5bn
to
USD 1,655.4bn,
mainly
due
to
a
USD 42.0bn
increase from
asset size
and other
movements, partly
offset by
a USD 9.5bn
decrease from
currency effects.
The asset
size
movement
was
mainly
due
to
increases
in
cash
and
balances
at
central
banks,
high-quality
liquid
asset
(HQLA)
portfolio securities, lending assets, securities
financing transactions and derivative exposures.
These increases were partly
offset by decreases in trading assets and off-balance sheet exposures.
Correspondingly,
the
CET1
capital
ratio
of
UBS AG
consolidated
decreased
to
14.2%
from
14.4%,
reflecting
the
aforementioned increase in
RWA, partly offset
by the aforementioned
increase in CET1
capital. The Basel III
leverage ratio
increased to
5.7% from
5.5%, reflecting
the aforementioned
increase in
tier 1 capital,
partly offset
by the
aforementioned
increase in the LRD.

The
quarterly
average
liquidity
coverage
ratio
(the
LCR)
of
UBS
AG
consolidated
decreased
3.9 percentage
points
to
172.4%,
remaining
above the prudential requirement communicated by
FINMA. The movement in the quarterly average
LCR was
primarily driven
by a
USD 5.5bn increase
in average
net cash
outflows to
USD 193.9bn, reflecting
higher net
outflows from
deposits. The
effect of
the increase
in net
cash outflows
was
partly offset
by a
USD 2.4bn
increase in
average HQLA to
USD 334.1bn,
mainly reflecting
higher cash
available due to
an increase in
customer deposits, higher
proceeds from
debt issued
at amortized
cost and
higher net
brokerage payables,
partly offset
by lower
cash available
from
higher
lending
assets
and
cash
collateral
margin
requirements,
as
well
as
a
decrease
in
HQLA
from
securities
financing transactions.
As of 31 March 2026, the net stable funding ratio of UBS AG consolidated increased 0.4 percentage points to 116.1%,
remaining above
the prudential
requirement communicated
by FINMA.
Available stable
funding increased
by USD 13.8bn
to USD 887.3bn, mainly driven by
increases in debt issued measured
at amortized cost and regulatory
capital. Required
stable
funding
increased
by
USD 9.0bn
to
USD 764.3bn,
mainly
reflecting
higher
derivatives
and
cash
collateral
receivables on derivative instruments,
and higher lending assets, partly offset by lower trading assets.

1 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.90% for risk-weighted assets (RWA) and 0.58% for
leverage ratio denominator (LRD), of which 2 basis points for RWA and 1
basis point for LRD reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on of
USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 22 basis points for RWA reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds,
private equity and family
offices, effective 1 January
2025.
2 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on
for the residual exposure
(after collateral mitigation)
to hedge funds,
private equity and family
offices of 0.16% for
CET1
capital and 0.07% for
AT1 capital, effective
1 January 2025. For
AT1 capital
under Pillar 1 requirements
a maximum of 4.3%
of AT1 capital
can be used
to meet going concern
requirements; 4.37% includes
the
aforementioned Pillar 2 capital add-on.
3 Our CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.58% consists of a
1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.28% LRD
add-on requirement, a 0.30%
market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit
business and a 0.01% Pillar 2 capital add-on related to the supply
chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse.
4 UBS fulfills its minimum going concern
capital requirements with
CET1 capital and
AT1 capital.
The actual available
and eligible AT1
capital is above
the AT1
capital used to
meet the minimum
requirements (which is
capped at 4.37%
as explained in
footnote 2) as UBS exceeds its minimum going concern requirements.
5 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two
years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone
concern requirement has been met with instruments that
have a remaining maturity of greater than
two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity
of between
one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital.
6 Systemically important banks (SIBs) are subject to base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75%
of the total going
concern requirements
(excluding countercyclical
buffer requirements
and the
Pillar 2 add-ons).
7 FINMA
has the
authority to
impose a
surcharge of
up to 25%
of the
total going
concern capital
requirements
(excluding countercyclical buffer requirements
and the Pillar 2 add-ons)
should obstacles to an SIB’s
resolvability be identified in
future resolvability assessments.
8 Includes applicable add-ons of
1.24% for RWA
and 0.43% for LRD.
9 Includes an add-back of
45% of unrealized gains
from financial assets measured
at fair value through
other comprehensive income.
Such gains do not
qualify as CET1 capital,
but 45% of
these gains can be recognized as gone concern capital.

UBS AG standalone
Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The
table
below
is
based
on
the
Swiss
Financial
Market
Supervisory
Authority
(FINMA)
Ordinance
on
the
Disclosure
Obligations of Banks and Securities Firms (DisO-FINMA) rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During
the first
quarter of
2026,
tier 1
capital increased
by
USD 3.0bn to
USD 96.7bn. Common
equity tier 1
(CET1)
capital decreased by
USD 0.6bn to USD 73.5bn,
mainly as operating
profit before tax
of USD 1.0bn was
more than offset
by additional dividend accruals of USD 1.8bn. Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital issued by the Group and on lent to UBS AG
increased by USD 3.7bn to
USD 23.3bn, reflecting the issuance
of new AT1 capital
instruments equivalent to USD 3.7bn.
Risk-weighted
assets
(RWA)
increased
by
USD 16.5bn
to
USD 508.1bn,
driven
by
a
USD 9.2bn
increase
in
RWA
on
investments in
Swiss
and foreign-domiciled
subsidiaries, predominantly
due
to the
phased
increase of
risk weights
in
accordance with the
relevant FINMA decree.
In addition, there
were increases of
USD 6.5bn in credit
and counterparty
credit risk RWA and USD 1.8bn in market risk RWA, partly offset by a decrease of USD 1.3bn in operational risk RWA.
The leverage
ratio
denominator (the
LRD) decreased
by USD 2.5bn
to USD 927.5bn,
driven by
a USD 4.2bn
decrease
from
currency
effects,
partly
offset
by
a
USD 1.8bn
increase
from
asset
size
and
other
movements.
The
asset
size
movement was mainly
driven by
increases in securities
financing transactions, cash
and balances at
central banks,
and
derivatives exposures, partly offset by decreases in trading portfolio assets and off-balance sheet exposures.
Correspondingly,
the
CET1
capital
ratio
of
UBS AG
standalone
decreased
to
14.5%
from
15.1%,
reflecting
the
aforementioned increase in RWA and the aforementioned decrease in CET1 capital. The Basel III leverage ratio increased
to 10.4% from 10.1%, reflecting the
aforementioned increase in tier 1 capital and
the aforementioned decrease in the
LRD.
31 March 2026 Pillar 3 Report |
Significant regulated subsidiaries and sub-groups | UBS AG standalone
21
The
quarterly
average
liquidity
coverage
ratio
(the
LCR)
of
UBS AG
standalone
decreased
3.7 percentage
points
to
231.2%,
remaining
above the prudential requirement communicated by
FINMA. The movement in the quarterly average
LCR was primarily
driven by a
USD 3.7bn increase in
average net cash
outflows to USD 67.4bn, mainly
reflecting
lower
inflows from
intercompany loans.
The effect
of the
increase in
net cash
outflows was
partly offset
by a
USD 6.5bn increase
in
average
high-quality
liquid
assets
to
USD 155.8bn,
mainly
reflecting
higher
cash
available
from
funding
from
UBS
Group AG and capital repatriations, and higher net brokerage payables, partly offset by lower cash available from lower
customer deposits.
As of
31 March 2026,
the net
stable funding
ratio of
UBS AG standalone
increased 0.8 percentage
points to
91.5%,
remaining above the prudential
requirement communicated by
FINMA. Available stable
funding decreased by USD
7.3bn
to USD 397.5bn, mainly
driven by lower
customer deposits, partly
offset by higher
debt issued measured
at amortized
cost and
funding from
UBS Group
AG. Required
stable funding
decreased by
USD 12.0bn to
USD 434.5bn, primarily
reflecting lower lending
assets and trading
assets, partly offset
by higher derivatives
and cash collaterals
receivables on
derivative instruments.

Swiss systemically relevant bank going and gone concern requirements and information
The tables below provide
details of the Swiss
systemically relevant bank RWA-
and LRD-based going and
gone concern
requirements and
information as
required by
FINMA; details
regarding eligible
gone concern
instruments are
also provided
below.
UBS AG standalone is
subject to a
gone concern capital
requirement based on
the sum of:
(i) the nominal value
of the
gone
concern
instruments
issued
by
UBS
entities
and
held
by
the
parent
firm;
(ii) 75%
of
the
going
concern
capital
requirements resulting from
third-party exposure on
a standalone basis;
and (iii) a buffer
requirement equal to
30% of
the Group’s
gone concern
capital requirement
on UBS AG’s
consolidated exposure.
The gone
concern capital
requirement
is the higher
of the RWA-
and LRD-based requirements,
calculated separately. The
gone concern capital
coverage ratio
reflects
how
much
gone
concern
capital
is
available
to
meet
the
gone
concern
requirement.
Outstanding
total
loss-
absorbing capacity-eligible
unsecured debt
instruments are
eligible to
meet gone
concern requirements
until one
year
before maturity.
More information about
the going and
gone concern requirements
is provided in
the “UBS AG standalone”
section of
the 31 December 2025 Pillar 3 Report, available under “Pillar 3 disclosures” at

RWA. Direct and indirect investments
including holding of regulatory capital instruments
in Switzerland-domiciled subsidiaries and for
direct and indirect investments including
holding of regulatory
capital instruments in foreign-domiciled
subsidiaries are risk weighted
at 240% and 360%,
respectively, for the current
year. As per current rules, risk
weights will gradually increase
by 5 percentage
points per year for Switzerland-domiciled investments and 20 percentage points
per year for foreign-domiciled investments until the fully applied risk
weights of 250% and 400%, respectively, are applied.
2 Includes
applicable add-ons of 1.88% for risk-weighted assets (RWA, phase-in),
1.87% for risk-weighted assets (RWA, fully applied) and
0.59% for leverage ratio denominator (LRD), of which
2 basis points for RWA phase-
in, 2 basis points for RWA fully applied and 1 basis point for LRD reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on of USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 20 basis
points for RWA
phase-in and 20 basis
points for RWA
fully applied reflect
a Pillar 2 capital
add-on for the residual
exposure (after collateral
mitigation) to hedge
funds, private
equity and family
offices, effective 1
January 2025.
3 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices of 0.14% for CET1 capital and 0.06% for AT1 capital for RWA phase-in and 0.14%
for CET1 capital
and 0.06%
for AT1
capital for
RWA fully
applied, effective
1 January
2025. For
AT1 capital
under Pillar
1 requirements
a maximum
of 4.3% of
AT1 capital
can be used
to meet
going concern
requirements; 4.36% for RWA
phase-in and 4.36% for RWA
fully applied include the aforementioned
Pillar 2 capital add-on.
4 UBS fulfills its minimum
going concern capital requirements with
CET1 capital and
AT1 capital. The actual available
and eligible AT1 capital is above
the AT1 capital used to meet the
minimum requirements (which is capped at 4.36% as
explained in footnote 3) as UBS exceeds its minimum
going
concern requirements .
5 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern requirements can be met with instruments that have a
remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone
concern requirement has
been met with
instruments that have
a remaining maturity
of greater than
two years,
all instruments that
have a remaining
maturity of between
one and two
years remain eligible
to be
included in the total gone concern capital.
6 Includes an add-back of 45% of unrealized gains
from financial assets measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income. Such
gains do not qualify as CET1
capital, but 45% of these gains can be recognized as gone concern capital.

2 Fully applied relates to participation RWA. Direct and indirect
investments including holding of regulatory capital instruments in Switzerland-domiciled subsidiaries and for
direct
and indirect investments including holding of regulatory capital instruments in foreign-domiciled subsidiaries are risk weighted at 240% and 360%,
respectively, for the current year.
As per current rules, risk weights
will gradually increase
by 5 percentage points
per year for
Switzerland-domiciled investments and
20 percentage points
per year for
foreign-domiciled investments until
the fully applied
risk weights of

UBS Switzerland AG standalone
Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The
table
below
is
based
on
the
Swiss
Financial
Market
Supervisory
Authority
(FINMA)
Ordinance
on
the
Disclosure
Obligations of Banks and Securities Firms (DisO-FINMA) rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During the first quarter of 2026, common equity
tier 1 capital increased by CHF 0.2bn to CHF 21.4bn, mainly
driven by
operating profit, largely offset by additional dividend accruals.
Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by CHF 7.7bn to
CHF 171.8bn, mainly driven by an increase in credit
risk and
operational risk RWA.
The leverage ratio denominator
(the LRD) increased by
CHF 26.1bn to CHF 564.4bn, primarily
reflecting higher lending
exposures and higher cash and
balances at central banks, as well
as an increase in derivative
exposures. This was partly
offset by lower off-balance-sheet exposures and securities financing transactions.

The
quarterly
average
liquidity
coverage
ratio
(the
LCR)
of
UBS
Switzerland AG
decreased
1.0 percentage
point
to
131.0%,
remaining
above the prudential requirement communicated by
FINMA. The movement in the quarterly average
LCR
was
primarily
driven
by
a
CHF 4.7bn
decrease
in
average
high-quality
liquid
assets
to
CHF 110.5bn,
mainly
reflecting
lower cash available from higher
lending assets and lower
funding from UBS AG,
partly offset by higher
cash
available
from
an
increase
in
customer
deposits.
Average
net
cash
outflows
decreased
by
CHF 2.9bn
to
CHF 84.4bn,
mainly due to
lower
net outflows from intercompany
funding from UBS AG,
partly offset by an
increase in
customer deposits.
As of
31 March 2026,
the net
stable funding
ratio decreased
0.9 percentage points
to 124.3%,
remaining above
the
prudential requirement
communicated by
FINMA. Available
stable funding
increased by
CHF 10.8bn to
CHF 367.8bn,
mainly driven
by increases
in customer
deposits, covered
bonds issued
and regulatory
capital. Required
stable funding
increased
by
CHF 10.9bn
to
CHF 295.9bn,
primarily
reflecting
higher
lending
assets
and
higher
derivatives
and
cash
collateral receivables on derivative instruments.

31 March
2026,
the
going
concern
capital
and
leverage
ratio
requirements
for
UBS
Switzerland AG
standalone were 15.36% (including a countercyclical buffer of 0.85%) and 5.08%, respectively.
The Swiss SRB
framework and going
concern requirements applicable to
UBS Switzerland AG standalone are
the same
as those applicable to UBS Group AG consolidated. The
gone concern requirement corresponds to 62% of the
Group’s
going concern
requirements, excluding
the countercyclical
buffer requirements
and Pillar 2
add-ons. Outstanding

UBS Europe SE consolidated
Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The table below provides
information about the regulatory
capital components, capital ratios,
leverage ratio and liquidity
of UBS Europe SE
consolidated based
on Basel
Committee on
Banking Supervision
(BCBS) Pillar 1
requirements and
in
accordance with EU regulatory rules and IFRS Accounting Standards.
During
the
first
quarter
of
2026,
available
capital
remained
stable
and
risk-weighted
assets
increased
slightly,
to
EUR 16.4bn, mainly
driven by
higher exposures
in cash
and securities
financing transactions
(SFTs), and
new over-the-
counter
derivative
exposures,
partly
offset
by
a
decrease
in
loan
facilities.
The
leverage
ratio
exposure
increased
by
EUR 8.0bn
to
EUR 63.9bn,
mainly
driven
by
increases
in
cyclical
trading
volume,
derivatives,
SFTs
and
other
assets,
including multiple drivers, such as cash at central banks.
The average liquidity coverage
ratio (the LCR)
remained well above the
regulatory requirement of
100%, at 137.5%.
The
decrease in
the LCR
was driven
by an
increase of
EUR 0.7bn in
total net
cash outflows,
partly offset
by an
increase of
EUR 0.3bn in
high-quality liquid
assets (HQLA).
Higher HQLA
and net
outflows were
mainly due
to an
increase in
UBS
Group euro-clearing activities. The net stable funding ratio
(the NSFR) remained well above the regulatory requirements
of 100%, at
135.2%. The decrease in
the NSFR was
due to a EUR
0.7bn increase in required
stable funding, reflecting
higher client-driven activity levels in the Investment Bank, including positive replacement values related to the growth in
the
Asian
market.
This
was
partly
offset
by
a
EUR 0.6bn
increase
in
available
stable
funding,
driven
by
higher
intercompany funding.

UBS Americas Holding LLC consolidated
Key metrics for the first quarter of 2026
The table
below is
based on
Basel Committee
on Banking
Supervision (BCBS)
Pillar 1 requirements
and in
accordance
with US Basel III rules and generally accepted accounting principles in the US (US GAAP).
Effective 1 October 2025 until 2027, UBS Americas Holding LLC is subject to a stress capital buffer (an SCB) of 5.2%, in
addition to the
minimum risk-based capital
requirements. The SCB,
subject to a
floor of 2.5%,
was determined by
the
Federal Reserve
Board following
the completion
of the
2025 Comprehensive
Capital Analysis
and Review
(the CCAR)
based on Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) results and planned future dividends.
During the first quarter
of 2026, the common
equity tier 1 (CET1)
capital ratio increased 0.1 percentage
points to 18.2%
and the tier 1 capital
ratio increased 0.1 percentage points
to 21.9%. Both CET1
capital and tier 1
capital increased by
USD 0.3bn, driven primarily by net profit. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 1.4bn to USD 77.1bn,
driven by
a USD 1.8bn increase in
credit risk RWA, mainly
in derivatives, loans and
securities financing transactions,
partly offset by
a USD 0.4bn decrease in market risk specific risk exposure.
The
tier 1
leverage
ratio
increased
0.1 percentage
points
to
8.4%,
primarily
driven
by
the
aforementioned
capital
movements, partly offset by a USD 1.8bn
increase in leverage exposure. Similarly,
the tier 1 supplementary leverage ratio
(the SLR)
increased 0.3 percentage
points to
7.4%, primarily
driven by
the aforementioned
capital movements
and a
USD 4.9bn decrease in the SLR exposure,
mainly in margin receivables.
The average liquidity coverage ratio
decreased 6.5 percentage points to 120.9%,
as high-quality liquid assets increased
by
USD 0.8bn
and
net
cash
outflow
increased
by
USD 1.8bn.
The
average
net
stable
funding
ratio
decreased
0.9 percentage points to 126.4% in the
first quarter of 2026, driven by
a USD 0.6bn increase in required stable
funding,
primarily as there was an increase in required operational balances and the exchange-traded derivatives initial margin.

FAQ

How strong is UBS Group (AMUB) capital position as of 31 March 2026?

UBS shows a solid capital position, with common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of USD 73.3bn and a CET1 ratio of 14.65%. Total tier 1 capital reached USD 97.0bn on risk‑weighted assets of USD 500.4bn, supporting strong loss‑absorbing capacity.

What additional capital could UBS Group (AMUB) need under Swiss proposals?

UBS estimates new Swiss rules on capitalized software, prudential valuation and foreign subsidiaries would require about USD 22bn extra CET1 at UBS AG standalone and reduce Group CET1 by roughly USD 4bn. Together with around USD 15bn from the Credit Suisse acquisition, total incremental CET1 demand is about USD 37bn.

How much total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) does UBS Group (AMUB) report?

UBS reports total loss‑absorbing capacity of USD 197.6bn at Group level. This includes CET1 and AT1 capital plus TLAC‑eligible senior unsecured debt, with TLAC equal to 39.48% of risk‑weighted assets and 11.95% of the leverage exposure measure.

What are UBS Group (AMUB) key leverage and liquidity metrics for Q1 2026?

UBS’s Basel III leverage ratio was 5.86% on a leverage exposure of USD 1,653.5bn. Liquidity remained robust, with an average liquidity coverage ratio of 177.8% and a net stable funding ratio of 116.9%, both above FINMA’s prudential thresholds.

How is UBS Group (AMUB) returning capital to shareholders in 2026?

Shareholders approved a cash dividend of USD 1.10 per share, paid in April 2026. UBS also repurchased USD 0.9bn of shares in the first quarter and targets USD 3bn of buybacks by end‑July 2026, with potential for more depending on capital and outlook.

How did UBS Group (AMUB) risk-weighted assets change in Q1 2026?

Risk‑weighted assets increased by USD 7.0bn to USD 500.4bn. The rise mainly reflected USD 7.8bn from asset size and other movements and USD 1.0bn from model updates and methodology changes, partly offset by a USD 1.9bn reduction from currency effects.
