Introduction
General
This report as of June 30, 2020 is based on the revised Circular 2016/1 “Disclosure – banks” (FINMA circular) issued by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) on October 31, 2019. The revised FINMA circular includes the implementation of the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in August and December 2019.
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 4Q19 and 1Q20, the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2019 and the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q20, which includes important 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.
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.
This report reflects certain updates and corrections to prior period metrics which have been noted in the relevant tabular disclosures, where applicable.
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.

COVID-19 and related regulatory measures
The Swiss government, the Swiss National Bank and FINMA have already taken various measures to mitigate the consequences for the economy and the financial system. Governments and regulators in other jurisdictions where we have operations have also taken a number of emergency and temporary measures to address the financial and economic pressures arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May 2020, FINMA announced the extension of the temporary exclusion of central bank reserves from leverage ratio calculations that took effect in March 2020. The end date of the exemption was extended from July 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021, while the definition of the exclusion remained unchanged. The exclusion applies to deposits with all central banks globally, and thus not only to deposits held with the Swiss National Bank. For banks whose shareholders approved dividends or other similar distributions relating to 2019 after March 25, 2020, or who plan to seek such shareholder approval, the capital relief relating to the leverage ratio will be reduced. Accordingly, the capital relief applicable to Credit Suisse is adjusted to account for the dividend paid in 2Q20 and the planned dividend payment in 4Q20.
In April 2020, FINMA allowed a temporary freeze on backtesting exceptions impacting the capital multiplier, expiring on July 1, 2020. In June 2020, FINMA confirmed that (i) all recent exceptions that are proven by the institution as not attributable to a lack of precision of the risk aggregation model can be disregarded; and (ii) the exemption will be fundamentally incorporated into future supervisory practice. As a result, we had one backtesting exception in our regulatory VaR (Value-at-Risk) model in the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2Q20, which is considered for the calculation of the capital multiplier.
Effective January 1, 2020, certain Basel III revisions to the capital requirements for credit risk became effective. The revisions relate to a new standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) for derivatives, equity investments in funds and central counterparty default fund contributions. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FINMA has advised Credit Suisse that it may phase in CHF 12 billion of risk-weighted-assets inflation that arises from these new capital requirements equally throughout 2020 rather than immediately in 1Q20.

Risk-weighted assets
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” (pages 59 to 60) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management – Regulatory framework in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q20 for further information on Swiss capital requirements.
The following table presents an overview of total Swiss RWA forming the denominator of the risk-based capital requirements. Further breakdowns of RWA are presented in subsequent sections of this report.
RWA were CHF 299.9 billion as of the end of 2Q20, stable compared to the end of 1Q20, as movements in risk levels in credit risk and a negative foreign exchange impact were offset by increases related to internal model and parameter updates, primarily related to credit risk and market risk, and methodology and policy changes in credit risk.
RWA flow statements for credit risk, counterparty credit risk (CCR) and market risk are presented in subsequent parts of this report.
> Refer to “Risk-weighted assets” (pages 62 to 63) in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q20 for further information on risk-weighted assets movements in 2Q20.

Credit risk
General
This section covers credit risk as defined by the Basel framework. CCR, 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 21 to 28) for further information on the capital requirements relating to counterparty credit risk.
> Refer to “Securitization” (pages 29 to 33) 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 reported credit risk arises from the execution of the Group’s business strategy through the divisions and is predominantly driven by cash and balances with central banks, loans and commitments provided to corporate and institutional clients, loans to private clients including residential mortgages and lending against financial collateral.
Credit quality of assets
The amounts shown in the following tables are the US GAAP carrying values according to the regulatory scope of consolidation that are subject to the credit risk framework.

Loans include all on-balance sheet exposures that give rise to a credit risk charge and exclude debt securities, derivatives, securities financing transactions and off-balance sheet exposures.
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.

Credit risk mitigation
Credit Suisse actively mitigates credit exposure through the use of legal netting agreements, security over supporting financial and non-financial collateral or financial guarantees and through the use of credit hedging techniques, primarily credit default swaps (CDS). The recognition of credit risk mitigation (CRM) against exposures is governed by a robust set of policies and processes that ensure enforceability and effectiveness.
The following table presents the use of CRM techniques. Credit Suisse recognizes the CRM effect of eligible collateral either as a reduction from the exposure at default (EAD) value of the secured instrument or as an adjustment to the probability of default (PD) or loss given default (LGD) associated with the exposure. All exposures that are secured through eligible collateral are disclosed as “Net exposures partially or fully secured”. Eligible collateral amounts, regardless of which CRM technique has been applied, are disclosed as “Exposures secured by collateral”. Exposures secured by credit derivatives do not include certain immaterial positions, where the credit derivative is recognized with an adjustment to the LGD.

Credit derivatives used as CRM techniques
The following table presents the effect on RWA of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques by portfolio.
For exposures covered by recognized credit derivatives, the substitution approach is applied, which means the risk weight of the obligor is substituted with the risk weight of the protection provider. The CRM effect is reflected according to the actual post-risk mitigation asset class for pre-credit derivatives and actual RWA. The table does not include the impact of certain immaterial positions where the credit derivative was recognized with an adjustment to LGD.

Counterparty credit risk
General
Counterparty exposure
CCR arises from over-the-counter (OTC) and exchange-traded derivatives, as well securities financing transactions (SFTs), such as repurchase agreements, securities lending and borrowing and other similar products. CCR exposures depend on the value of underlying market factors, for example, interest rates and foreign exchange rates, which may be volatile.
Credit Suisse has received approval from FINMA to use the IMM for measuring CCR for the majority of the derivatives and the VaR model for SFTs.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FINMA has advised the Group that it may phase in the impact that arises from certain Basel III revisions to the capital requirements equally throughout 2020.
EAD post-CRM increased CHF 30.2 billion to CHF 92.5 billion, compared to the end of 4Q19, primarily reflecting increases in corporates without specialized lending and institutions – banks and securities dealer.

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".

> Refer to “RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB” (page 18) in Credit risk for definitions of the RWA flow statements components.
CCR RWA under IMM decreased 8% to CHF 19.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q20, primarily driven by decreases relating to movements in risk levels partially offset by methodology and policy changes. The decrease in risk levels attributable to asset size was primarily driven by decreased derivatives exposures due to volatility. In addition, the pro-cyclicality relief of the exposure modeling approach for derivatives granted by FINMA in 1Q20 was removed. The improvement in credit quality reflects new CDS hedges on the SFT portfolio. The movement in methodology and policy changes reflected the phase-in of certain Basel III revisions for counterparty credit risk including SA-CCR for derivatives.

Market risk
General
We use the advanced approach for calculating the market risk capital requirements for the majority of our market risk exposures. As of June 30, 2020, 92% of our market risk RWA are computed using internal models. In line with regulatory requirements, the standardized measurement method (SMM) is used for the specific risk of securitized exposures.
Market risk under standardized approach
The following table shows the components of the capital requirement under the standardized approach for market risk.

RWA flow statements of market risk exposures under an IMA
The following table presents the 2Q20 flow statement explaining variations in the market risk RWA determined under an internal model approach (IMA).
Market risk RWA under an IMA increased 23% to CHF 20.3 billion compared to the end of 1Q20, primarily due to the increase in average regulatory VaR and risks not in VaR (RNIV), which were driven by significant volatility increases in global financial markets which started in March and continued into April 2020. Although the average regulatory VaR levels were higher in 2Q20 as compared to 1Q20, the end of day levels between the beginning and the end of 2Q20 for both regulatory VaR and stressed VaR decreased significantly, due to a material decline in risk levels, driven by risk mitigation activities in response to the increased market volatility.

MR3 – Regulatory VaR, stressed VaR and Incremental Risk Charge
in / end of 1H20 2H19
CHF million   
Regulatory VaR (10 day 99%) 
   Maximum value  267 107
   Average value  112 70
   Minimum value  60 57
   Period end  94 71
Stressed VaR (10 day 99%) 
   Maximum value  282 194
   Average value  169 144

   Maximum value  160 130
   Average value  109 99
   Minimum value  76 73
   Period end  113 100
During 1H20, the increases in average and period end regulatory VaR and stressed VaR were primarily driven by the significant volatility increase in global financial markets observed starting in March and continuing into April 2020, as well as by portfolio composition changes.
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.
Backtesting involves comparing the results produced by the VaR model with the hypothetical trading revenues on the trading book. Hypothetical trading revenues are defined in compliance with regulatory requirements and aligned with the VaR model output by excluding (i) non-market elements (such as fees, commissions, cancellations and terminations, net cost of funding and credit-related valuation adjustments) and (ii) gains and losses from intra-day trading. A backtesting exception occurs when a hypothetical trading loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate.
For capital purposes and in line with Bank for International Settlements (BIS) requirements, FINMA increases the capital multiplier for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period, resulting in an incremental market risk capital requirement for the Group. VaR models with less than five backtesting exceptions are considered by regulators to be classified in a defined “green zone”. The “green zone” corresponds to backtesting results that do not themselves suggest a problem with the quality or accuracy of a bank’s model.
In April 2020, FINMA allowed a temporary freeze on backtesting exceptions impacting the capital multiplier, expiring on July 1, 2020. In June 2020, FINMA confirmed that (i) all recent exceptions that are proven by the institution as not attributable to a lack of precision of the risk aggregation model can be disregarded; and (ii) the exemption will be fundamentally incorporated into future supervisory practice. As a result, in 1H20, we had one backtesting exception in our regulatory VaR model, which is considered for the calculation of the capital multiplier.
Since there were fewer than five backtesting exceptions in the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2Q20, in line with BIS industry guidelines, the bank is in the “green zone”.
