Introduction

General

This report as of September 30, 2022 is based on the Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks” (FINMA circular) issued by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA).

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. This document should be read in conjunction with the Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures – Credit Suisse Group AG 4Q21, the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2021 and the Credit Suisse Financial Report 3Q22, which include important information on regulatory capital and risk management (specific references have been made herein to these documents) and regulatory developments and proposals.

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

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.

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 of regulatory capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)-eligible instruments that form part of the eligible capital base and TLAC resources, global systemically important bank (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.

Risk-weighted assets

Overview

With the adoption of the revised FINMA circular, risk-weighted assets (RWA) presented in this report, including prior period comparisons, are based on the Swiss capital requirements.

> Refer to “Swiss requirements” (page 47) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management – Regulatory framework in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 3Q22 for further information on Swiss capital requirements.

The following table provides an overview of total Swiss RWA forming the denominator of the risk-based capital requirements.

RWA were CHF 274.1 billion as of the end of 3Q22, stable compared to the end of 2Q22, as internal model and parameter updates, mainly in operational risk, and a positive foreign exchange impact were offset by movements in risk levels in credit risk, which included the impact of the valuation allowance relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review. The internal model and parameter updates were mainly related to updates to our AMA model to reflect increased litigation provisions in 1Q22, primarily relating to developments in a number of previously disclosed legal matters.

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

> Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” (pages 50 to 51) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital Management in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 3Q22 for further information on movements in risk-weighted assets in 3Q22.

Risk-weighted assets flow statements

Credit risk and counterparty credit risk

The following table presents the definitions of the RWA flow statements components for credit risk and CCR.

Definition of risk-weighted assets movement components related to credit risk and CCR
Description	Definition
Asset size	Represents changes on the portfolio size arising in the ordinary course of business (including new businesses). Asset size also includes movements arising from the application of the comprehensive approach with regard to the treatment of financial collateral
Asset quality/credit quality of counterparties	Represents changes in average risk weighting across credit risk classes
Model and parameter updates	Represents movements arising from internally driven or externally mandated updates to models and recalibrations of model parameters specific only to Credit Suisse
Methodology and policy changes	Represents movements arising from externally mandated regulatory methodology and policy changes to accounting and exposure classification and treatment policies not specific only to Credit Suisse
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

Credit risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 3Q22 flow statement explaining the variations in the credit risk RWA determined under an internal ratings-based (IRB) approach.

CR8 – Risk-weighted assets flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB
	3Q22
CHF million
Risk-weighted assets at beginning of period	101,354
Asset size	(1,764)
Asset quality	(903)
Model and parameter updates	1,310
Foreign exchange impact	156
Risk-weighted assets at end of period	100,153
Includes RWA related to the A-IRB approach and supervisory slotting approach.

Credit risk RWA under IRB decreased CHF 1.2 billion to CHF 100.2 billion compared to the end of 2Q22. The decrease was primarily driven by movement in risk levels attributable to asset size and improvements in asset quality, partially offset by an increase in model and parameter updates as well as a positive foreign exchange impact. The model and parameter updates reflected the regulatory buffers per FINMA approval, relating to commercial trade finance as well as retail to corporate treatment of certain exposures.

Counterparty credit risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 3Q22 flow statement explaining the variations in the 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
	3Q22
CHF million
Risk-weighted assets at beginning of period	9,875
Asset size	(1,128)
Credit quality of counterparties	330
Model and parameter updates	(12)
Foreign exchange impact	138
Risk-weighted assets at end of period	9,203

CCR RWA under IMM decreased CHF 0.7 billion to CHF 9.2 billion compared to the end of 2Q22, primarily driven by decreases in asset size risk levels attributable to the expiration of trades and exposures reductions across securities financing business, over-the-counter derivatives and exchange traded derivatives. This was partially offset by a deterioration in asset quality risk levels due to reduced CDS hedges benefit on account of reduced notionals as well as a positive foreign exchange impact, mainly due to a US dollar strengthening of 2% over the quarter against the Swiss franc.

Market risk

The following table presents the definitions of the RWA flow statements components for market risk.

Definitions of risk-weighted assets movement components related to market risk
Description	Definition
RWA as of the end of the previous/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/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 amount 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 internally driven or externally mandated updates to models and recalibrations of model parameters specific only to Credit Suisse
Methodology and policy changes	Represents movements arising from externally mandated regulatory methodology and policy changes to accounting and exposure classification and treatment policies not specific only to Credit Suisse
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

Market risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 3Q22 flow statement explaining the variations in the market risk RWA determined under an internal models approach (IMA).
