Introduction

General

This report as of June 30, 2018 for the Group is based on the revised Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks” (FINMA circular) issued by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA). The FINMA circular includes the implementation of the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervisions (BCBS) in January 2015. This document should be read in conjunction with the Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures – Credit Suisse Group AG 4Q17, the Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures – Credit Suisse Group AG 1Q18, the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2017 and the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q18, which include additional information on regulatory capital, risk management (specific references have been made herein to these documents) and regulatory developments and proposals.

The highest consolidated entity in the Group to which the FINMA circular applies is Credit Suisse Group.

This report is produced and published quarterly, in accordance with FINMA requirements. The reporting frequency for each disclosure requirement is either annual, semi-annual or quarterly.

These disclosures were verified and approved internally in line with our board-approved policy on disclosure controls and procedures. The level of internal control processes for these disclosures is similar to those applied to the Group’s quarterly and annual financial reports. This report has not been audited by the Group’s external auditors.

> Refer to “Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures – Credit Suisse Group AG 4Q17” under credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for the annual qualitative disclosures required by the FINMA circular.

For certain prescribed table formats where line items have zero balances, such line items have not been presented.

Other regulatory disclosures

In connection with the implementation of Basel III, certain regulatory disclosures for the Group and certain of its subsidiaries are required. The Group’s Pillar 3 disclosure, regulatory disclosures, additional information on capital instruments, including the main features and terms and conditions of regulatory capital instruments that form part of the eligible capital base, global systemically important banks (G-SIB) financial indicators, reconciliation requirements, leverage ratios and certain liquidity disclosures as well as regulatory disclosures for subsidiaries can be found on our website.

1 Calculated as 8% of risk-weighted assets based on BIS total capital minimum requirements excluding capital conservation buffer and G-SIB buffer requirements.
2 Calculated under the current exposure method.
3 Includes RWA relating to advanced credit valuation adjustment and central counterparties of CHF 6,972 million, CHF 5,806 million and CHF 7,177 million as of the end of 2Q18, 1Q18 and 4Q17, respectively.
4 In January 2018, a new securitization framework was implemented and will be phased in over 2018. The 4Q17 number was calculated in accordance with the previous methodology.
5 Credit Suisse is not subject to a floor adjustment because current capital requirements and deductions exceed 80% of those under Basel I.

RWA movements in 2Q18

RWA increased 2% to CHF 277.1 billion as of the end of 2Q18 compared to CHF 271.0 billion as of the end of 1Q18, primarily driven by a positive foreign exchange impact, methodology and policy changes and increases resulting from movements in risk levels in credit risk and by model and parameter updates in credit risk and market risk. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from movements in risk levels, mainly in market risk.

RWA flow statements for credit risk, counterparty credit risk (CCR) and market risk are presented below.

> Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” (pages 63 to 64) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q18 for further information on risk-weighted assets movements in 2Q18.

Credit risk

General

This section covers credit risk as defined by the Basel framework. Counterparty credit risk, including those that are in the banking book for regulatory purposes, and all positions subject to the securitization framework are presented in separate sections.

> Refer to “Counterparty credit risk” (pages 19 to 26) for further information on the capital requirements relating to counterparty credit risk.

> Refer to “Securitization” (pages 27 to 29) for further information on the securitization framework.

The Basel framework permits banks to choose between two broad methodologies in calculating their capital requirements for credit risk: the standardized approach or the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Off-balance-sheet items are converted into credit exposure equivalents through the use of credit conversion factors (CCF).

The majority of the credit risk is with institutional counterparties (sovereigns, other institutions, banks and corporates) and arises from lending and trading activity in the investment banking businesses and the private, corporate and institutional banking businesses. The remaining credit risk is with retail counterparties and mostly arises in the private, corporate and institutional banking businesses from residential mortgage loans and other secured lending, including loans collateralized by securities.

Credit quality of assets

The following table provides a comprehensive picture of the credit quality of the Group’s on and off-balance sheet assets.

CR1 – Credit quality of assets
end of	Defaulted exposures	Non- defaulted exposures	Gross exposures	Allowances/ impairments	Net exposures
2Q18 (CHF million)
Loans 1	2,685	378,552	381,237	(911)	380,326
Debt securities	10	14,806	14,816	0	14,816
Off-balance sheet exposures 2	82	107,779	107,861	(142)	107,719
Total	2,777	501,137	503,914	(1,053)	502,861
4Q17 (CHF million)

Off-balance sheet exposures 2	69	102,971	103,040	(123)	102,917
Total	2,472	486,547	489,019	(1,006)	488,013
1 Loans include cash and due from banks.
2 Revocable loan commitments which are excluded from the disclosed exposures can attract risk-weighted assets.

The definitions of “past due” and “impaired” are aligned between accounting and regulatory purposes. However, there are some exemptions for impaired positions related to troubled debt restructurings where the default definition is different for accounting and regulatory purposes.

> Refer to “Loans” in “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” (pages 265 to 267), “Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality” (pages 283 to 291) in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2017 and “Note 18 – Loans, allowance for loan losses and credit quality” (pages 109 to 114) in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q18 for further information on the credit quality of loans including past due and impaired loans.

Credit risk mitigation

Credit Suisse actively mitigates credit exposure utilizing a variety of techniques including netting and securing positions through collateral, financial guarantees and credit derivatives, primarily through credit default swaps (CDS). Recognizing credit risk mitigation (CRM) against exposures is governed by a robust set of policies and processes that ensure enforceability and effectiveness. Credit Suisse additionally monitors the exposure to credit mitigation providers as part of the overall credit risk exposure monitoring framework.

The following table presents the extent of use of CRM techniques.

Effect of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques on risk-weighted assets

The following table shows the effect of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques on the IRB approach capital requirements’ calculations.

For exposures covered by recognized credit derivatives, the substitution approach is applied. Hence, the risk weight of the obligor is substituted with the risk-weight of the protection provider.

RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB

The following table presents the 2Q18 flow statement explaining the variations in the credit risk RWA determined under an IRB approach.

Credit risk RWA under IRB of CHF 117.4 billion increased CHF 5.2 billion compared to the end of 1Q18, primarily driven by a foreign exchange impact, increases related to asset size, mainly reflecting higher exposures, and methodology and policy changes.

The increase in methodology and policy changes was mainly due to an additional phase-in of the multiplier on income producing real estate (IPRE) and non-IPRE exposures, and on certain investment banking corporate exposures.

Equity positions in the banking book under the simple risk-weight approach

For equity type securities in the banking book, risk weights are determined using the simple risk-weight approach, which differentiates by equity sub-asset types, such as exchange-traded and other equity exposures.

RWA relating to equities under the simple risk-weight approach of CHF 7.8 billion decreased 5% compared to the end of 4Q17, mainly due to a decrease in equity exposures with counterparties.

Counterparty credit risk

General

Counterparty exposure

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) arises from over the counter (OTC) and exchange-traded derivatives, repurchase agreements, securities lending and borrowing and other similar products and activities. The subsequent credit risk exposures depend on the value of underlying market factors (e.g., interest rates and foreign exchange rates), which can be volatile and uncertain in nature.

Credit Suisse received approval from FINMA to use the internal model method for measuring CCR for the majority of the derivative and secured financing exposures.

Composition of collateral for CCR exposure

The following table shows a breakdown of all types of collateral posted or received by banks to support or reduce the CCR exposures related to derivative transactions or to securities financing transactions (SFT), including transactions cleared through a central counterparty (CCP). For disclosure purposes, collateral values are presented as the market value of the collateral without regulatory or contractual haircuts.

By their nature, various components of the SFT business do not attract haircuts on a trade-by-trade basis, and as such a contractual haircut cannot be uniformly derived for the entire collateral population.

The fair value of collateral received on SFTs of CHF 921.0 billion increased 3% compared to the end of 4Q17 mainly relating to equity securities and corporate bonds, partially offset by a decrease in cash – other currencies. The fair value of collateral posted for SFTs of CHF 655.3 billion were stable compared to the end of 4Q17 mainly related to other sovereign debt, partially offset by an increase in equity securities. These changes were primarily due to changes in product portfolios.

1 The Equity Prime Brokerage business consists of clients acquiring long and short positions in the market in a Credit Suisse account along with the appropriate margins. In the case of a counterparty default, Credit Suisse gains control over the long positions and are free to sell them to cover the exposure and the long positions are thus considered as ‘collateral received’. On the other hand, the short positions are considered as ‘trades’ and are not reported in the disclosure as ‘posted collateral’.

RWA flow statements of CCR exposures under IMM

The following table presents the 2Q18 flow statement explaining changes in CCR RWA determined under the Internal Model Method (IMM) for CCR (derivatives and SFTs).

CCR7 – Risk-weighted assets flow statements of CCR exposures under IMM
2Q18	RWA

Risk-weighted assets at beginning of period	15,188
Asset size	(828)
Credit quality of counterparties	36
Methodology and policy changes	42
Foreign exchange impact	513
Risk-weighted assets at end of period	14,951

CCR RWA under IMM of CHF 15.0 billion decreased 2% compared to the end of 1Q18, primarily driven by decreases relating to asset size due to reductions in exposures, partially offset by a foreign exchange impact.

> Refer to “RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB” (page 16) in Credit risk for the definitions of the RWA flow statements components.

Market risk

General

We use the advanced approach for calculating the market risk capital requirements for the majority of our market risk exposures. The percentage of RWA covered by internal models as of June 30, 2018 was 87%. In line with regulatory requirements, the standardized measurement method is used for the specific risk of securitization exposures.

Market risk under standardized approach

The following table shows the components of the capital requirement under the standardized approach for market risk.

Market risk under internal model approach

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an IMA

The following table presents the 2Q18 flow statement explaining variations in the market risk RWA determined under an internal model approach.

Market risk RWA under an IMA of CHF 17.1 billion decreased 5% compared to the end of 1Q18, primarily due to the reduction in stressed value-at-risk (VaR) and incremental risk charge (IRC), driven by movements in risk levels.

Definitions of risk-weighted assets movement components related to market risk
Description	Definition
RWA as of the end of the previous and current reporting periods	Represents RWA at quarter-end
Regulatory adjustment	Indicates the difference between RWA and RWA (end of day) at beginning and end of period
RWA as of the previous and current quarters end (end of day)	For a given component (e.g. VaR) it refers to the RWA that would be computed if the snapshot quarter end figure of the component determines the quarter end RWA, as opposed to a 60-day average for regulatory
Movement in risk levels	Represents movements due to position changes
Model and parameter updates	Represents movements arising from updates to models and recalibrations of parameters and internal changes impacting how exposures are treated
Methodology and policy changes	Represents movements due to methodology changes in calculations driven by regulatory policy changes, including both revisions to existing regulations and new regulations
Acquisitions and disposals	Represents changes in book sizes due to acquisitions and disposals of entities
Foreign exchange impact	Represents changes in exchange rates of the transaction currencies compared to the Swiss franc
Other	Represents changes that cannot be attributed to any other category

Internal model approach values for trading portfolios

The following table shows the values (maximum, minimum, average and period ending for the reporting period) resulting from the different types of models used for computing regulatory capital charge at the Group level, before any additional capital charge is applied.

MR3 – Regulatory VaR, stressed VaR and Incremental Risk Charge
in / end of	1H18	2H17
CHF million
Regulatory VaR (10 day 99%)
Maximum value	103	92
Average value	74	63
Minimum value	51	42
Period end	83	79
Stressed VaR (10 day 99%)
Maximum value	195	265
Average value	142	132
Minimum value	111	91
Period end	170	143
IRC (99.9%)
Maximum value	284	208
Average value	175	150
Minimum value	90	102
Period end	109	109

During 6M18, the stressed VaR increase was primarily driven by credit spread model enhancements.

Comparison of VaR estimates with gains/losses

The following chart compares the results of estimates from the regulatory VaR model with both hypothetical and actual trading outcomes.

For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with Bank for International Settlements (BIS) requirements, uses a multiplier to impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception over four in the prior rolling 12-month period calculated using a subset of actual daily trading revenues, also referred to as hypothetical trading revenues under the Basel framework. These hypothetical trading revenues are defined on a consistent basis with the regulatory VaR model and thereby exclude non-market elements such as fees, commissions, gains and losses from intra-day trading, as well as cancellations and terminations.

The key difference between hypothetical profits and losses and actual profits and losses is that actual profits and losses takes into account the profits and losses from intraday activity while hypothetical profits and losses does not. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities.

In 6M18, we had no backtesting exceptions in our regulatory VaR model calculated using the subset of actual daily trading revenues.

Since there were fewer than five backtesting exceptions in the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2Q18, in line with BIS industry guidelines, the VaR model is deemed to be statistically valid.

Liquidity coverage ratio

Our calculation methodology for the liquidity coverage ratio is prescribed by FINMA. For disclosure purposes, our LCR is calculated using a three-month average which, beginning in 1Q17, is measured using daily calculations during the quarter rather than the month-end metrics used before. This change in the LCR averaging methodology resulted from updated FINMA requirements that became effective January 1, 2017.

> Refer to “Liquidity metrics” (pages 112 to 113) in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Liquidity and funding management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2017 and “Liquidity metrics” (pages 53 to 54) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Liquidity and funding management in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q18 for further information on the Group’s liquidity management including high quality liquid assets, liquidity pool and liquidity coverage ratio.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, ambitions, targets, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:

– the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;

– the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;

– the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, exchange rate, trade and tax policies, as well as currency fluctuations;

– political and social developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity;

– the possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries in which we conduct our operations;

– operational factors such as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly;

– the risk of cyber attacks on our business or operations;
