Operating and financial review and prospects
SEC regulations require that a discussion of the results for the first six months of the current year compared to the first six months of the previous year be included in registration statements relating to securities offerings. The following discussion of the Group’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (6M16) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 (6M15) supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Group’s financial reports for the first and second quarters of 2016. The Group’s financial report for the second quarter of 2016 (Credit Suisse Financial Report 2Q16), filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, includes unaudited financial information for 6M16 and 6M15.
Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse includes the results of our six reporting segments, including the Strategic Resolution Unit, and the Corporate Center. The Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. It also includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.
In managing the business, revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of performance.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.

Results summary
In 6M16, Credit Suisse reported a loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 132 million compared to net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 2,105 million in 6M15.
Net revenues of CHF 9,746 million decreased 28% compared to 6M15, primarily reflecting lower net revenues in the Strategic Resolution Unit, Global Markets and Corporate Center.
Provision for credit losses of CHF 122 million primarily reflected net provisions of CHF 78 million in the Strategic Resolution Unit, CHF 29 million in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, and CHF 15 million in Swiss Universal Bank. The net increase in provision for credit losses of CHF 41 million from CHF 81 million in 6M15 was mainly related to increases of CHF 62 million in the Strategic Resolution Unit and CHF 29 million in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, partially offset by a decrease of CHF 41 million in Swiss Universal Banking.
Total operating expenses of CHF 9,909 million decreased 4% compared to 6M15, primarily reflecting a 11% decrease in compensation and benefits, mainly due to reduced discretionary compensation expenses and lower deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards, reflecting a lower deferral rate, and slightly lower general and administrative expenses, mainly reflecting lower other general and administrative expenses, such as dues and fees and non-income taxes, mostly offset by an increase in professional services expenses. In addition, we incurred CHF 346 million of restructuring expenses in 6M16 in connection with our new strategy, of which CHF 232 million related to severance and other compensation expenses.
Income tax credit of CHF 158 million recorded in 6M16 mainly reflected the impact of the geographical mix of results and the impact of a deferred tax asset re-assessment in Switzerland. Overall, net deferred tax assets increased CHF 146 million to CHF 6,271 million as of the end of 6M16 compared to the end of 2015, mainly driven by the deferred tax asset re-assessment. Deferred tax assets on net operating losses increased CHF 840 million to CHF 2,594 million during 6M16. The Credit Suisse effective tax rate was 55.4% in 6M16, compared to 33.7% in 6M15.
Segment results
In 6M16, Swiss Universal Bank reported income before taxes of CHF 885 million and net revenues of CHF 2,693 million. Compared to 6M15, net revenues were 6% lower, mainly due to lower transaction-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees, including the impact of CHF 148 million from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business in 2015, partially offset by higher net interest income. Transaction-based revenues decreased 19%, reflecting significantly lower fees from foreign exchange client business, significantly lower brokerage and product issuing fees and lower sales and trading revenues reflecting lower client activity. 6M15 included higher client activity following the Swiss National Bank (SNB) actions taken in January 2015. Recurring commissions and fees were 14% lower primarily reflecting the CHF 115 million impact from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business and the impact of lower average assets under management. Net interest income increased 9% compared to 6M15, mainly driven by improved loan margins on stable average loan volumes and stable deposit margins on lower average deposit volumes.
Total operating expenses were 5% lower compared to 6M15 with lower general and administrative expenses, reflecting the impact from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business, and slightly lower compensation and benefits, partly offset by restructuring expenses of CHF 44 million in connection with the implementation of the new strategy.
In 6M16, International Wealth Management reported income before taxes of CHF 545 million and net revenues of CHF 2,318 million. Net revenues were stable compared to 6M15, reflecting significantly higher net interest income in Private Banking, partially offset by lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and slightly lower recurring commissions and fees.
Net revenues in Private Banking increased slightly compared to 6M15, primarily driven by significantly higher net interest income, partially offset by lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees. Net interest income increased 33%, reflecting higher loan and deposit margins on higher average loan and deposit volumes. Transaction- and performance-based revenues decreased 15%, mainly driven by lower brokerage and product issuing fees, lower fees from foreign exchange client business, significantly lower half-yearly performance fees reflecting the challenging market conditions and a decline in sales and trading revenues. 6M15 included higher client activity due to the SNB actions taken in January 2015. Recurring commissions and fees decreased 6%, primarily driven by lower security account and custody services fees, a decline in banking services fees and included the impact of lower average assets under management, partially offset by higher investment advisory fees.
4
Net revenues in Asset Management were stable compared to 6M15, as growth in management fees was offset by lower performance and placement revenues and lower investment and partnership income. Management fees increased 5% and included the impact of slightly higher average assets under management. Investment and partnership income decreased 4%, mainly reflecting lower performance from single manager hedge funds, partially offset by a residual gain from a private equity interest in 1Q16. Performance and placement revenues decreased 22% primarily from lower placement fees, partially offset by higher investment-related gains.
Total operating expenses were stable, with higher general and administrative expenses and restructuring expenses of CHF 23 million in 6M16, offset by lower compensation and benefits.
In 6M16, Asia Pacific reported income before taxes of CHF 470 million and net revenues of CHF 1,818 million. Compared to 6M15, net revenues decreased 15%, driven by lower equity sales and trading revenues reflecting the absence of the strong market conditions experienced in 6M15.
Net revenues in Private Banking increased 9% compared to 6M15, mainly reflecting an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in transaction-based and other revenues. The increase in net interest income reflected higher loan and deposit margins on higher average volumes. The decrease in transaction-based revenues reflected lower brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by higher corporate advisory fees arising from integrated solutions and a dividend from an equity participation. The decrease in other revenues reflected a reversal of gains on credit hedges that were offset by a corresponding release of provision for credit losses.
Net revenues in Investment Banking decreased 24% compared to 6M15, mainly due to lower equity sales and trading revenues, partially offset by higher fixed income sales and trading revenues and higher underwriting and advisory fees. The decrease in equity sales and trading revenues reflected the absence of the strong market conditions experienced in 6M15, primarily in derivatives and systematic market making. Equity derivatives results in 6M16 included the positive impact of CHF 65 million resulting from a recalibration of the valuation model for certain hybrid instruments to reflect increased observability of pricing data and a more standardized approach across products. Higher fixed income sales and trading revenues were primarily driven by rates products reflecting increased client activity.
Total operating expenses increased 6%, reflecting increased compensation and benefits driven by growth-related higher headcount, and higher general and administrative expenses.
In 6M16, Global Markets reported a loss before taxes of CHF 44 million and net revenues of CHF 2,875 million. Net revenues declined 29%, primarily reflecting challenging market conditions, notably in 1Q16, and lower capital usage in line with our accelerated strategy to right-size our business. Revenues from credit of CHF 1,132 million declined 41% compared to 6M15, primarily due to significantly lower results in our securitized products business. Securitized products trading revenues declined across most products primarily as we decreased risk in the portfolio by reducing inventory positions and due to lower capital usage compared to 6M15. Global credit products revenues were also lower, as lower investment grade trading activity was partially offset by improved leveraged finance trading activity. Solutions revenues of CHF 754 million declined 22% compared to 6M15, reflecting increased volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty surrounding central bank actions, which resulted in lower client activity. Emerging markets revenues were also lower, mainly due to lower structured products performance. We had lower revenues in global macro products due to reduced client activity in our rates business, partially offset by improved performance in our foreign exchange business. Equity derivatives revenues declined mainly due to subdued client activity in fund linked products. Revenues from equities of CHF 1,070 million decreased 14% compared to 6M15 due to lower revenues from systematic market making, primarily reflecting challenging operating conditions in 1Q16. Prime services revenues declined, reflecting reduced leverage exposure and reduced client activity and risk appetite. Cash equities trading revenues declined, reflecting the negative impact of lower primary issuance activity. Equity underwriting revenues declined in line with muted industry-wide activity across initial public offerings (IPOs) and follow-on offerings.
Total operating expenses declined 2% compared to 6M15, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits, partially offset by restructuring expenses booked in 6M16. In light of the acceleration of our strategic initiatives, total operating expenses included CHF 150 million in restructuring expenses in 6M16.
In 6M16, Investment Banking & Capital Markets reported income before taxes of CHF 73 million, a decrease of 26% compared to 6M15. Net revenues of CHF 931 million declined 4% compared to 6M15, primarily due to lower equity underwriting revenues, partially offset by higher revenues from advisory and debt underwriting. Revenues from advisory and other fees of CHF 404 million increased 35% compared to 6M15, reflecting an increase in our share of wallet, despite a decline in the industry-wide fee pool. Debt underwriting revenues of CHF 483 million increased 3% due to higher derivative financing. Equity underwriting revenues of CHF 139 million declined 37%, driven by lower industry-wide IPO and follow-on offering issuance activity. Compared to 6M15, net revenues were also impacted by lower corporate lending revenues, recognized in other revenues.
Total operating expenses decreased 5% compared to 6M15, primarily reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits.
5
In 6M16, the Strategic Resolution Unit reported a loss before taxes of CHF 2,012 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 554 million in 6M15. Negative net revenues were CHF 904 million in 6M16 compared to net revenues of CHF 725 million in 6M15. The movement was primarily driven by valuation adjustments in the legacy investment banking portfolio and lower revenues relating to the restructuring of select onshore businesses.
Total operating expenses decreased 18% compared to 6M15, driven by lower compensation and benefits, reflecting the transfer of our US private banking business, and lower general and administrative expenses. These decreases were partially offset by restructuring expenses recorded in 6M16.
Corporate Center loss before taxes was CHF 202 million in 6M16 compared to income before taxes of CHF 212 million in 6M15. We early adopted certain sections of ASU 2016-01, which required changes in fair value relating to the instrument-specific credit risk of fair value option-elected financial liabilities be presented separately in accumulated other comprehensive income. Therefore, fair value gains or losses from movements in own credit spreads were no longer recorded in the Corporate Center beginning in 2016. Other revenues primarily reflected required elimination adjustments associated with trading in own shares. Compensation and benefits mainly reflected fair value adjustments on certain deferred compensation plans not allocated to the segments. General and administrative expenses primarily reflected costs associated with the evolution of our legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements.

Message from the Chairman and The Chief Executive Officer
Dear shareholders
We operated profitably in 2Q16 with a resilient performance across all our businesses. We further improved our capital strength to allow us to continue our necessary restructuring while investing, when justified, in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. We delivered strong results in our geographic focused divisions of Swiss Universal Bank (SUB), Asia Pacific (APAC) and International Wealth Management (IWM), and our Investment Banking and Capital Markets (IBCM) division returned to profitability in 2Q16. In parallel, we made significant progress in the right-sizing and de-risking of Global Markets (GM). We have continued to generate significant cost savings in GM as we build a more efficient and more resilient platform through significant front-to-back process redesign. All these actions are aimed at ensuring that Credit Suisse is better positioned for long-term profitable growth.
Financial performance
Credit Suisse reported net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 170 million and pre-tax income of CHF 199 million in 2Q16 (adjusted*: CHF 290 million). These results were primarily driven by contributions from APAC, IWM and SUB, which produced combined adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 933 million in 2Q16 and delivered strong wealth management net new assets of CHF 11.3 billion.
In our home market of Switzerland, we delivered a solid performance with adjusted* pre-tax income of CHF 457 million. In SUB, we remained focused on further optimizing revenue generation by strengthening our Bank for Entrepreneurs and Credit Suisse Invest as part of our commitment to delivering expert service and advice to the full spectrum of clients. Our investment bank in Switzerland achieved good momentum and ranked no. 1 in terms of announced M&A transactions1 and debt capital markets deals2 during the quarter. It was also named ‘Best Investment Bank in Switzerland’ for 2016 by Euromoney magazine for the fifth consecutive year. In Switzerland, we have applied for a Swiss banking license and expect Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG to commence operations in 4Q16 subject to, among other things, regulatory approval.
In Asia Pacific, which is a key target growth market for Credit Suisse, we have a strong franchise, and our clients value our ability to offer a broad range of wealth management and investment banking products and services based on our integrated approach. Within our APAC division, our wealth management business continued to grow, and we saw strong demand among ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs for our financing services in the first half of the year. Our Underwriting & Advisory business achieved growth and increased share of wallet3 in an environment of declining fee pools.
In parallel, we continued to make progress in building our IWM franchise. We continued to generate net new assets across businesses and geographies, reflecting our ability to create value for our clients with solid inflows from the emerging markets and Europe. A number of landmark deals were completed that helped to mitigate lower transaction- and performance-based revenues, in part, during the quarter. In our Asset Management business, we achieved net new assets with an attractive product margin mix, including the successful launch of the Nova Fixed Maturity Bond Fund in April that has since attracted over CHF 3 billion of assets due to strong client demand.
We are continuing to make targeted investments in our business. Our ambition is to be the preferred partner to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and high-net-worth individuals, who represent a key client segment for Credit Suisse, as well as to institutional clients and our retail clients in Switzerland. Similarly, to better serve this client base, we are continuing to make targeted hires and had a total of 650 relationship managers in APAC at end-2Q16. In IWM, we also made progress in our efforts to attract additional relationship managers to our platform, with an increase in hiring activity of around 40% compared to the first half of 2015. In SUB, we made targeted investments in branding and advertising, as well as in digitalization initiatives and regulatory projects.
In IBCM, we had a strong quarter across our underwriting and advisory business. In 2Q16, we recorded adjusted* pre-tax income of USD 132 million, a significant improvement compared to 1Q16.
The right-sizing and de-risking of GM is a critical element of our strategic plan. In 2Q16, we made solid progress in the accelerated restructuring of the division. By end-2Q16, we had further reduced capital consumption in GM, completed the transfer of assets to the Strategic Resolution Unit (SRU) and transferred GM’s foreign exchange activities to SUB. We significantly de-risked GM,
2
thereby further reducing capital usage during the quarter. Today, we are operating within our end-2016 RWA and leverage exposure targets. We also further lowered our cost base compared to 2Q15. Finally, we made clear progress in 2Q16 in re-invigorating our client-driven activity and improved revenue generation in our core Equities, Credit and Solutions franchises compared to 1Q16. As a result, GM operated profitably in 2Q16 with adjusted* pre-tax income of USD 208 million.
The SRU made further substantial progress in reducing risk-weighted assets, leverage exposure and costs and in winding down businesses, thus freeing up significant capital to reinvest in our growth markets.
Strengthening our capital position
Credit Suisse reported a look-through Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 11.8% at end-2Q16, an increase of around 40 basis points from 11.4% at the end of 1Q16, reflecting disciplined capital management and improved profitability. We aim to maintain a look-through CET1 capital ratio of between 11-12%4 for the remainder of 2016 to help continue our restructuring while investing, when justified, in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. At end-2Q16, Credit Suisse reported a look-through CET1 leverage ratio of 3.3%.
In summary, Credit Suisse operated profitably in 2Q16. We have remained focused on serving our clients during a challenging quarter. APAC, IWM and SUB have attracted significant wealth management asset inflows. IBCM has been able to gain market share across key products and generated a profit for the bank. Additionally, the restructured GM platform has generated a profit. Risks in GM have been reduced and, in the first half of the year, we achieved our target of reducing the expected quarterly pre-tax loss by 50% in an adverse stress scenario. Our cost cutting program is progressing at pace and we are working hard to build a more flexible, more resilient and more efficient bank that is fit for the new post-crisis regulatory and economic environment.
Outlook
We remain cautious in our outlook for the second half of 2016 in view of the uncertainty created by significant geopolitical and macroeconomic concerns, reinforced a few weeks ago by the outcome of the UK referendum. In the coming quarters, we will continue to work steadily towards delivering on our longer-term objectives and creating value for our clients and shareholders.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all Credit Suisse employees around the globe for their continued hard work, dedication and support. We also wish to thank our clients and our shareholders for the trust they place in Credit Suisse.

Important information
When we refer to wealth management focused divisions throughout this document, we mean APAC, IWM and SUB. References to the “wealth management” businesses in APAC, IWM and SUB refer to those divisions’ Private Banking businesses.
As of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. As of January 1, 2015, the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by BCBS, was implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. The related disclosures are in accordance with Credit Suisse’s interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of Credit Suisse’s assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown herein.
References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III requirements. Phase-in under the Basel III capital framework reflects that for the years 2014 – 2018, there will be a five-year (20% per annum) phase in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other capital deductions (e.g., certain deferred tax assets) and for the years 2013 – 2022, there will be a phase out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other regulatory adjustments and the full phase out of certain capital instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments.
We may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives. Factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the market and economic conditions, changes in laws, rules or regulations and other challenges discussed in our public filings, could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of these initiatives.
This document contains forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and we might not be able to achieve the predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes we describe or imply in forward-looking statements.

Credit Suisse at a glance
Credit Suisse
Our strategy builds on Credit Suisse’s core strengths: its position as a leading global wealth manager, its specialist investment banking capabilities and its strong presence in our home market of Switzerland. We take a balanced approach to capture the wealth management opportunities in emerging markets, the largest of which is in the Asia Pacific region, while also serving key developed markets with an emphasis on Switzerland. Founded in 1856, we today have a global reach with operations in about 50 countries and 47,180 employees from over 150 different nations. Our broad footprint helps us to generate a geographically balanced stream of revenues and net new assets and allows us to capture growth opportunities around the world. We serve our clients through three regionally focused divisions: Swiss Universal Bank, International Wealth Management and Asia Pacific. These regional businesses are supported by two other divisions specializing in investment banking capabilities: Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets. The Strategic Resolution Unit consolidates the remaining portfolios from the former non-strategic units plus additional businesses and positions that do not fit with our strategic direction. Our business divisions cooperate closely to provide holistic financial solutions, including innovative products and specially tailored advice.
Swiss Universal Bank
The Swiss Universal Bank division offers comprehensive advice and a wide range of financial solutions to private, corporate and institutional clients primarily domiciled in our home market of Switzerland, which offers attractive growth opportunities and where we can build on a strong market position across our key businesses. Our private banking business has a leading franchise in our Swiss home market and serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals, high-net-worth individuals and retail clients. Our corporate and institutional banking business serves large corporate clients, small and medium-sized enterprises, institutional clients and financial institutions.
International Wealth Management
The International Wealth Management division offers tailored financial solutions to wealthy private clients and external asset managers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America through its private banking business.

Our asset management business offers investment solutions and services globally to our private banking businesses and a wide range of other clients, including pension funds, governments, foundations and endowment funds, corporations and individuals.
Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific division offers integrated private banking and investment banking financial solutions to wealthy individuals, institutional investors and corporate clients in the Asia Pacific region, drawing on Credit Suisse’s global resources. The division is well positioned to capture market opportunities in Asia Pacific, which is experiencing rapid wealth creation and where the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals is growing. We offer institutional investors access to broader financial markets and differentiated product offerings.
Global Markets
The Global Markets division offers a broad range of equities and fixed income products and services and focuses on client-driven businesses and on supporting Credit Suisse’s private banking businesses and their clients.

Our range of products and services includes advisory services related to mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, takeover defense mandates, business restructurings and spin-offs. The division also engages in debt and equity underwriting of public securities offerings and private placements.
Strategic Resolution Unit
The Strategic Resolution Unit was created to facilitate the immediate right-sizing of our business divisions from a capital perspective and includes remaining portfolios from former non-strategic units plus transfers of additional exposures from the business divisions. The unit’s primary focus is on facilitating the rapid wind-down of capital usage and costs to reduce the negative impact on the Group’s performance. Repositioned as a separate division, this provides clearer accountability, governance and reporting.

Operating environment
During 2Q16, economic indicators showed subdued global growth, as economic activity in developed markets increased slightly and remained largely stable in emerging markets. Global equity markets ended the quarter slightly higher, though world bank stocks underperformed. Government bond yields declined further. The US dollar strengthened against most major currencies.
Economic environment
Economic growth in the US improved compared to 1Q16, as retail sales strengthened and construction activity increased slightly. Labor market data in the US was mixed, with some data signaling a slowdown in hiring even as the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since November 2007. Inflation rates in the US barely changed compared to 1Q16, remaining at low levels. Eurozone economic data remained resilient overall, and inflation remained close to zero. In the UK, economic momentum remained subdued in light of political uncertainty surrounding the decision of voters in the UK to leave the European Union. Across major emerging markets, the economic picture improved somewhat in Russia, remained weak in Brazil and showed signs of stabilization in China.
During 2Q16, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept interest rates unchanged and signaled it would increase them at a slower pace than it had previously indicated. The European Central bank (ECB) began to purchase corporate bonds in June, but otherwise left its monetary policy unchanged, with interest rates remaining at very low levels. The Bank of Japan delayed making changes to its monetary policy, while the Reserve Bank of Australia lowered interest rates again. The central banks in India and Russia lowered interest rates, while those in China and Brazil left them unchanged.
Global equity markets finished 2Q16 slightly higher compared to the end of 1Q16, generally supported by improved commodity markets and accommodative monetary policies of major central banks (refer to the charts “Equity markets”). The outcome of the UK referendum on European Union membership caused significant volatility in the financial markets, and led to a sharp increase in risk aversion by market participants, resulting in an equity market sell-off in the immediate period after the result. In developed markets, Canadian and Australian equities exposed to the commodity sector and Swiss and US equities outperformed global equity markets. Japanese and eurozone equity markets significantly underperformed. Latin America equities outperformed within emerging markets. The energy sector, due to improved fundamentals in the oil market, and defensive sectors, such as healthcare and utilities, outperformed other sectors, while cyclical sectors, particularly those in the consumer discretionary, financials and IT areas, underperformed. Equity market volatility, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX), increased sharply in the period around the UK referendum. Risk appetite, as measured by the Credit Suisse Equity Risk Appetite Index, decreased during the quarter. The Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index increased 0.6% in 2Q16.
6
Government bond yields declined further in 2Q16 (refer to the charts “Yield curves”). As markets priced in potential interest rate increases by the Fed and the results of the UK referendum, financial flows to safe havens increased. British and Australian bonds outperformed other major government bonds, while Italian bonds underperformed them. Despite the increase in risk aversion by market participants in June, high yield and hard currency emerging market bonds continued to perform well. In contrast, the financial sector lagged compared to other sectors, with the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the UK referendum leading to further underperformance.
The US dollar strengthened against most major currencies in 2Q16, except the Japanese yen. This was especially driven by the result of the UK referendum which led to increased financial flows to safe havens. The Swiss franc, after initially weakening against the euro, also ended the quarter slightly stronger as the Swiss National Bank intervened after the UK referendum to limit further strengthening against other major currencies. The weakest currency among the G-10 countries was the British pound. The Canadian dollar was stable, and the Australian dollar was weaker against the US dollar despite higher commodity prices. Currencies of commodity-exporting countries in emerging markets, such as the Russian ruble and Brazilian real, strengthened. 
After a volatile 1Q16, commodities markets recovered during 2Q16, led by gains in the energy sector and supported by developments in the precious metals, agriculture and industrial metals sectors. Commodities prices were supported by market expectations that central banks would delay tightening their monetary policies. The Credit Suisse Commodities Benchmark ended the quarter 13.3% higher.

Sector environment
As was the case in 1Q16, equities in the financial sector were among the weakest performers among global stocks in 2Q16, and were also impacted by the UK referendum. World bank stocks underperformed global equity markets in 2Q16, and European bank stocks underperformed world bank stocks (refer to the charts “Equity markets”).
In private banking, market conditions remained challenging in light of the political and economic uncertainty around the UK referendum, the persistence of the low interest rate environment, increased concerns about global growth and the uncertainty concerning central banks’ monetary policies going forward. The sector continues to face significant structural pressure as it adapts to industry-specific regulatory changes, tax regularization and anti-money laundering initiatives. In particular, regulatory requirements for investment advisory services continue to increase, including in the areas of client suitability and appropriateness of advice, information and documentation.
For investment banking, equity trading volumes decreased globally and in Europe compared to 1Q16 and 2Q15. Global announced mergers and acquisitions (M&A) volumes increased compared to 1Q16 but decreased compared to 2Q15. Global completed M&A volumes decreased compared to 1Q16 and 2Q15. European announced and completed M&A volumes decreased compared to 1Q16 and 2Q15. Global and European equity underwriting volumes were significantly higher compared to 1Q16 but lower compared to 2Q15. Global debt underwriting volumes were higher compared to 1Q16 and 2Q15. European debt underwriting volumes were lower compared to 1Q16, but higher compared to 2Q15. Total US fixed income trading volumes were lower compared to 1Q16, mainly driven by lower treasuries, and slightly higher compared to 2Q15, mainly due to mortgage-backed volumes.

Management believes that the return on tangible shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders is meaningful as it allows consistent measurement of the performance of businesses without regard to whether the businesses were acquired.

Results Summary
2Q16 results
In 2Q16, Credit Suisse reported net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 170 million compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 302 million in 1Q16 and net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,051 million in 2Q15.
Net revenues of CHF 5,108 million increased 10% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting higher net revenues in Global Markets, Strategic Resolution Unit and Investment Banking & Capital Markets. The increase in Global Markets was mainly due to higher revenues from our credit businesses. The movement in net revenues in the Strategic Resolution Unit was primarily driven by lower valuation adjustments in the legacy investment banking portfolio. Net revenues in Investment Banking & Capital Markets increased, primarily due to higher underwriting revenues and better performance from our corporate lending portfolio.
Net revenues decreased 27% compared to 2Q15, reflecting lower net revenues primarily in Strategic Resolution Unit, Corporate Center and Global Markets. The movement in net revenues in the Strategic Resolution Unit was primarily driven by valuation adjustments in the legacy investment banking portfolio and lower revenues relating to the restructuring of select onshore businesses, in particular the transfer of our US private banking business. Net revenues in Corporate Center decreased, primarily driven by fair value gains from movements in own credit spreads in 2Q15 and a change in the funding costs allocation methodology applied across the Group with effect as of the beginning of 1Q16. Net revenues in Global Markets declined primarily due to a significantly reduced risk profile and lower capital usage, in line with our accelerated restructuring strategy.
Provision for credit losses reflected a release of CHF 28 million primarily relating to a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 37 million in the Strategic Resolution Unit and CHF 17 million in Global Markets, partially offset by net provisions of CHF 16 million in International Wealth Management.
Total operating expenses of CHF 4,937 million decreased 1% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting a 64% decline in restructuring expenses and a 5% decline in general and administrative expenses, reflecting an 8% decline in professional services expenses. This decline were mostly offset by a 10% increase in compensation and benefits, reflecting higher salaries and discretionary compensation expenses and increased social security costs. We incurred CHF 91 million of restructuring expenses in 2Q16 in connection with our new strategy, of which CHF 50 million related to severance and other compensation expenses.
Total operating expenses decreased 6% compared to 2Q15, primarily reflecting a 6% decrease in compensation and benefits, mainly due to lower deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards, reflecting a lower deferral rate, and a 9% decrease in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to lower provisions and losses and other general and administrative expenses, such as dues and fees and non-income taxes.
Income tax expense of CHF 21 million recorded in 2Q16 mainly reflected the impact of the geographical mix of results and the impact of a deferred tax asset re-assessment in Switzerland. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 20 million to CHF 6,271 million, mainly driven by adjustments on share-based compensation deliveries, pension contributions and the 2Q16 deferred tax asset re-assessment, partially offset by earnings and foreign exchange movements. Deferred tax assets on net operating losses increased CHF 246 million to CHF 2,594 million during 2Q16. The Credit Suisse effective tax rate was 10.6% in 2Q16, compared to 37.0% in 1Q16.

Information and developments
Format of presentation
In managing the business, revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of performance.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.
As of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. As of January 1, 2015, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), was implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA). Our related disclosures are in accordance with our interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions and estimates. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our interpretations, assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown herein.
The calculation of divisional economic risk capital metrics and associated ratios under the new organization required certain additional assumptions and allocation methods which may not be required for future periods given the level of information then available.
> Refer to “Leverage metrics” and “Economic risk capital review” in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Capital management and Risk management, respectively, for further information.

Return on regulatory capital
Credit Suisse measures firm-wide returns against total shareholders’ equity and tangible shareholders’ equity. In addition, it also measures the efficiency of the firm and its divisions with regards to the usage of capital as determined by the minimum requirements set by regulators. This regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of risk-weighted assets and 3.5% of the leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital is calculated using income after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average risk-weighted assets and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. These percentages are used in the calculation in order to reflect the 2019 fully phased in Swiss regulatory minimum requirements for Basel III CET1 capital and leverage ratio.
Implementation of our strategy
As announced on March 23, 2016, we have implemented additional measures and adjusted financial objectives beyond those announced on October 21, 2015 to further lower our cost base, accelerate the risk-weighted assets and leverage reduction initiatives in the restructuring of our Global Markets business and further strengthen our capital position.
> Refer to “Credit Suisse strategy” I – Information on the company in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information.
The additional measures included exiting the distressed credit, European securitized products trading and long-term illiquid financing businesses and making other business reductions. The assets from these impacted businesses were transferred to the Strategic Resolution Unit in 2Q16.
As also announced, in 2Q16 the Group consolidated its foreign exchange sales and trading business from Global Markets into its trading operations within Swiss Universal Bank. The results of the sales and trading business continue to be split between Swiss Universal Bank and International Wealth Management.
A portion of the corporate loan portfolio managed by the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions was also transferred to the Strategic Resolution Unit in 2Q16. These transfers related to client lending relationship exits and exposure types that we do not consider consistent with the announced strategy.
In 2Q16, we also transferred from Global Markets to the Corporate Center a portfolio of positions containing tax risk to the Group that is managed by the Group’s corporate tax function.
As a result of the above strategic actions, prior period segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net income/(loss) or the total shareholders’ equity of the Group.
Funding and cost allocations
In the ongoing process of implementing the Group’s strategy across our six business divisions, in 2Q16 the Group retroactively recalibrated, with effect as of the beginning of 1Q16, its methodology to allocate funding costs across the Group to incorporate net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirements.
> Refer to “Funding” in “Note 5 – Segment information” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information.
Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, human resources, legal, compliance, risk management and IT are provided by corporate functions, and the related costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures. In the ongoing process of implementing the Group’s strategy across our six business divisions, in 2Q16, the Group recalibrated its methodology for the allocation of these corporate function costs to the operating expenses of the divisions, including a retroactive adjustment for 1Q16 in 2Q16.
Fair valuations
Fair value can be a relevant measurement for financial instruments when it aligns the accounting for these instruments with how we manage our business. The levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the relevant accounting guidance are not a measurement of economic risk, but rather an indication of the observability of prices or valuation inputs.
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Note 29 – Financial instruments” in III – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited for further information.
Models were used to value financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have little or no observable inputs (level 3). Models are developed internally and are reviewed by functions independent of the front office to ensure they are appropriate for current market conditions. The models require subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions and risks affecting the specific instrument. The models consider observable and unobservable parameters in calculating the value of these products, including certain indices relating to these products. Consideration of these indices is more significant in periods of lower market activity.
As of the end of 2Q16, 40% and 24% of our total assets and total liabilities, respectively, were measured at fair value.
13
The majority of our level 3 assets are recorded in our investment banking businesses. Total assets at fair value recorded as level 3 increased CHF 0.5 billion to CHF 29.2 billion as of the end of 2Q16, primarily reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact and net issuances. This was partially offset by net sales, mainly in loans and loans held-for-sale.
Our level 3 assets, excluding assets attributable to noncontrolling interests and assets of consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) that are not risk-weighted assets under the Basel framework, were CHF 28.8 billion, compared to CHF 28.2 billion as of the end of 1Q16. As of the end of 2Q16, these assets comprised 4% of total assets and 9% of total assets measured at fair value, both adjusted on the same basis, compared to 3% and 8%, respectively, as of the end of 1Q16.
We believe that the range of any valuation uncertainty, in the aggregate, would not be material to our financial condition, however, it may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
Evolution of legal entity structure
The execution of the program evolving the Group’s legal entity structure to support the realization of our strategic objectives, increase the resilience of the Group and meet developing and future regulatory requirements has continued to progress, with a number of significant achievements in 2016.
– On July 1, 2016, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), Inc. was fully established as our Intermediate Holding Company (IHC), in line with regulatory requirements. The IHC went live with the requisite capital, liquidity, infrastructure and governance, including its newly established board of directors;
– Following regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Ireland in December 2015, Credit Suisse AG Dublin Branch was established in 1Q16, making Ireland an important hub for the bank’s prime services business in Europe. The key parts of the prime services business operating out of this location include prime brokerage, prime financing and securities lending, all of which serve clients across global markets. The Dublin operation handles the trading, capital and risk management for the business, while the client coverage and relationship functions are allocated between London and Dublin staff according to client proximity and needs;
– In Switzerland, we have made significant progress with the implementation of the new legal entity Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, which will largely include the business and clients of the Swiss Universal Bank division of Credit Suisse AG. Swiss booked clients of the International Wealth Management and the Asia Pacific division will remain in Credit Suisse AG. We expect the new legal entity to become operational as a stand-alone bank in 4Q16, subject to, among other things, regulatory approval. In this context, future clients of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG have recently received notification on the upcoming transfer of accounts from Credit Suisse AG to Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG. The establishment of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG underscores our strong commitment to our Swiss home market. The new legal entity structure in Switzerland will not impact our client servicing model; our Swiss-booked clients will continue to benefit from Credit Suisse’s global expertise and full range of services regardless of the legal entity to which they are booked. As licensed Swiss banks, both Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG will be subject to the same rules and standards regarding client protection, asset segregation and Swiss banking confidentiality, and both banks will be members of Credit Suisse Group.

Regulatory developments and proposals
Government leaders and regulators continued to focus on reform of the financial services industry, including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, changes in compensation practices and systemic risk.
The Financial Market Infrastructure Act and the Financial Market Infrastructure Ordinance (FMIO) came into effect on January 1, 2016. Financial market infrastructures and the operators of organized trading facilities were granted a transitional period of one year until January 1, 2017 to comply with various new duties, including those associated with the publication of pre- and post-trade transparency information and with high-frequency trading. Also, in order to align Swiss law with the revised timing of corresponding provisions of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), which have been postponed by a year, the Swiss Federal Council extended the transitional periods under the FMIO for financial market infrastructures by a year until January 1, 2018.
On May 24, 2016, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) adopted final rules addressing the cross-border application of margin requirements for uncleared swaps. These margin requirements will apply to Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL) and other non-bank swap dealers registered with the CFTC. Consistent with margin requirements adopted by the US prudential regulators in October 2015, these CFTC rules incorporate limits on the eligibility of CSSEL to satisfy the CFTC’s margin requirements through “substituted compliance” with EU margin rules, especially when trading with US-headquartered dealers. The availability of substituted compliance (whether partially or in full) will also depend on whether the CFTC adopts a comparability determination relating to the EU margin rules. Due in part to uncertainty as to whether the EU may delay the effective date of its rules until after the CFTC’s rules begin to apply to CSSEL with respect to certain counterparties commencing September 1, 2016, the timing of the availability of substituted compliance remains unclear, and accordingly CSSEL may face obstacles in its ability to engage effectively in cross-border derivatives activities.
On June 2, 2016, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the CFTC became effective. The MoU establishes regulatory cooperation arrangements relating to CFTC-registered US central counterparties (CCPs) that have applied to ESMA for recognition
14
under Article 25 of the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). The MoU follows the adoption of the European Commission’s equivalence decision under EMIR with respect to CFTC requirements for US CCPs on March 15, 2016.
On June 9, 2016, the CFTC proposed rule amendments that would expand mandatory clearing requirements to certain interest rate swaps denominated in Australian, Canadian, Hong Kong, Mexican, Norwegian, Polish, Singapore, Swedish and Swiss currencies and certain other rates derivatives in these currencies. This proposal would effectively expand the CFTC’s clearing requirement to cover the full range of interest rate swaps required to be cleared under various non-US jurisdictions’ laws. Since other jurisdictions have not adopted similarly broad clearing requirements, the CFTC’s proposal, if adopted, could fragment liquidity in the interest rate swap markets, making it more expensive for Credit Suisse to trade in those markets.
The Fed has proposed rules designed to improve the resolvability of US headquartered global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and the US operations of non-US G-SIBs, such as our US operations. The proposed rules would require covered entities to include provisions in certain “qualified financial contracts” under which counterparties agree to be subject to the stays on early termination rights that would apply if the covered entity became subject to certain US special resolution regimes. This requirement is similar to requirements introduced in Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to which we are already subject. The proposed rules would also require counterparties of covered entities to agree not to exercise certain early termination rights that arise based on an affiliate of the entity entering bankruptcy proceedings or other insolvency proceedings. It is expected that the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) will produce a US module to its ISDA Resolution Stay Jurisdictional Modular Protocol to facilitate compliance by the broader market with the Fed’s final requirements.
On June 9, 2016, the European Commission announced that it is delaying the adoption of the draft regulatory technical standards on risk mitigation techniques for non-centrally cleared over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. When adopted, these rules will require the two-way exchange of initial and variation margin for non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives. It was initially announced that the final EU margin rules would become effective on September 1, 2016 as internationally agreed per the BCBS and the International Organization of Securities Commissions, but a revised commencement date has not yet been announced. When in force, the new rules will apply to our trading of in-scope non-cleared OTC derivative contracts with other large, globally active swap dealers.
On June 17, 2016, the Swiss Parliament adopted the Corporate Tax Reform Act III (CTR III), which aims at strengthening the Swiss tax system in light of the abolition of cantonal tax privileges for holding companies, mixed companies and domicile companies. The final version of the CTR III included a notional interest deduction, which had been proposed during deliberations. Some cantons have already announced that they will considerably lower their corporate income tax rates. The CTR III is still subject to a possible referendum. If no referendum is sought, the CTR III is expected to become effective as of January 1, 2017.
On June 23, 2016, voters in the UK voted to leave the EU in a non-binding referendum. Following any formal notification by the UK of its decision to exit the EU, negotiations would commence to determine the future terms of the parties’ relationship. This would include the renegotiation, either during a transitional period or more permanently, of a number of regulatory and other arrangements between the EU and the UK that directly impact our business. Adverse changes to any of these arrangements, and even uncertainty over potential changes during any period of negotiation, could potentially impact our results in the UK or other markets we serve.
> Refer to “Overview and risk-related developments” in II – Treasury, risk, balance sheet and off-balance sheet – Risk management for additional information on the impact of UK referendum on European Union membership on our risk management activities.
On June 30, 2016, the benchmarks regulation entered in to force. The regulation sets out various requirements which will govern the activities of benchmark administrators and submitters. The majority of the provisions of the benchmark regulation will apply from January 1, 2018. Certain restrictions and rules introduced by the benchmark regulation will apply to Credit Suisse in its capacity as benchmark user and contributor.
On July 1, 2016, EU legislation came into force to postpone the date of application of MiFID II and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation from January 3, 2017 to January 3, 2018.
On July 1, 2016, the Swiss federal act on the freezing and restitution of illicitly acquired assets of foreign politically exposed persons entered into force.
On July 14, 2016, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules amending certain aspects of its security-based swap (SBS) reporting rules and establishing a final implementation schedule for those rules. The amendments included an expansion of the SEC’s SBS reporting requirements (including the public dissemination of transaction information) to cover SBS between a non-US SBS dealer, such as Credit Suisse International or Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, and a non-US SBS counterparty that are arranged, negotiated or executed by US personnel acting on behalf of the non-US SBS dealer. Such expansion could deter non-US SBS counterparties from interacting with our US personnel. Mitigating this issue could require us to reorganize our front office functions accordingly, which could impede effective risk management and market making activities in SBSs based on US companies. The SEC adopted a final implementation schedule which requires Credit Suisse to comply with SBS reporting rules shortly after SBS dealer registration.

In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 453 million and net revenues of CHF 1,337 million. Income before taxes was CHF 21 million higher compared to 1Q16 and CHF 15 million lower compared to 2Q15.
results summary
2Q16 results
In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 453 million and net revenues of CHF 1,337 million. Compared to 1Q16, net revenues were stable, with lower net interest income offset by higher recurring commissions and fees and higher transaction-based revenues. Total operating expenses decreased 5% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting lower restructuring expenses and lower general and administrative expenses partly offset by slightly higher compensation and benefits.
Compared to 2Q15, net revenues were 9% lower, mainly due to lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction-based revenues, including the impact from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business in 2015. Total operating expenses decreased 9% compared to 2Q15 with lower general and administrative expenses, reflecting the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business.
Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 457 million was slightly lower compared to 1Q16 and increased slightly compared to 2Q15.
Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q16, we reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 64.6 billion, an increase of CHF 0.2 billion compared to the end of 1Q16. Leverage exposure was CHF 245.1 billion, reflecting an increase of CHF 3.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, driven by increased high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) balances associated with funding requirements.

Results
Income before taxes of CHF 251 million increased 22% compared to 1Q16, reflecting lower total operating expenses and stable net revenues. Compared to 2Q15, income before taxes decreased slightly, with lower net revenues mainly offset by lower total operating expenses. Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 254 million increased 6% compared to 1Q16 and 9% compared to 2Q15.
Net revenues
Compared to 1Q16, net revenues of CHF 840 million were stable, with lower net interest income mainly offset by higher transaction-based revenues and slightly higher recurring commissions and fees. Net interest income of CHF 441 million decreased CHF 19 million, with decreased deposit margins partially offset by slightly increased average loan volumes. Transaction-based revenues of CHF 159 million increased 7% driven by the proceeds from the sale of our equity stake in Visa Europe Ltd. to Visa Inc. and a regular dividend from our ownership interest in SIX Group AG, partly offset by lower sales and trading revenues, fees from foreign exchange client business and brokerage and product issuing fees. Recurring commissions and fees of CHF 240 million were slightly higher, reflecting higher average assets under management.
Compared to 2Q15, net revenues decreased 12%, mainly driven by lower recurring commissions and fees and lower transaction-based revenues. Recurring commissions and fees decreased 20%, reflecting the CHF 59 million impact from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business. Transaction-based revenues decreased 15% with lower client activity and lower sales and trading revenues. Net interest income was stable, driven by lower deposit margins on stable average deposit volumes, mainly offset by slightly improved loan margins on stable average loan volumes. Adjusted net revenues decreased 10% compared to 2Q15.

Provision for credit losses
The Private Banking loan portfolio is substantially comprised of residential mortgages in Switzerland and loans collateralized by securities and, to a lesser extent, consumer finance loans.
In 2Q16, Private Banking recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 7 million compared to CHF 9 million in both 1Q16 and 2Q15. The provision was primarily related to our consumer finance business.
Total operating expenses
Compared to 1Q16, total operating expenses of CHF 582 million decreased 8%, primarily reflecting lower restructuring expenses, decreased general and administrative expenses and slightly lower compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses of CHF 224 million decreased 5% due to lower allocated corporate function costs, including the impact of the changes to the methodology for the allocation of corporate function costs, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing costs. Compensation and benefits of CHF 308 million were slightly lower compared to 1Q16 reflecting lower allocated corporate function costs partially offset by higher salary expenses. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased slightly compared to 1Q16.
Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses decreased 16%, mainly driven by lower general and administrative expenses and lower compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses decreased 27%, primarily reflecting the impact of CHF 62 million from the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business. Compensation and benefits decreased 8%, reflecting lower discretionary compensation expenses, lower deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards and lower pension expenses.
margins
Gross margin
Our gross margin was 140 basis points in 2Q16, two basis points lower compared to 1Q16, mainly reflecting lower net interest income and higher average assets under management. Compared to 2Q15, our gross margin was nine basis points lower, mainly driven by lower recurring commissions and fees, reflecting the impact of the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business and lower transaction-based revenues, partially offset by a 6.1% decrease in average assets under management, including a reclassification in 3Q15 of CHF 15.8 billion of assets under management to assets under custody within client assets due to the introduction of an updated assets under management policy in 2015.

Net margin

expenses, partially offset by higher average assets under management. Compared to 2Q15, our net margin was two basis points higher, with lower total operating expenses due to the deconsolidation of the cards issuing business and the 6.1% decrease in average assets under management, mainly offset by lower net revenues. On the basis of adjusted income before taxes, our net margin was 42 basis points in 2Q16, two basis points higher compared to 1Q16 and five basis points higher compared to 2Q15.
Assets under management
As of the end of 2Q16, assets under management of CHF 241.4 billion were CHF 5.3 billion higher compared to the end of 1Q16, driven by favorable market movements and net new assets of CHF 0.9 billion.

Results
Income before taxes of CHF 202 million decreased 11% compared to 1Q16, mainly due to slightly lower net revenues and slightly higher total operating expenses. Compared to 2Q15, income before taxes was 4% lower, with higher total operating expenses and slightly lower net revenues, partially offset by significantly lower provision for credit losses. Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 203 million decreased 13% compared to 1Q16 and 4% compared to 2Q15.
Net revenues

In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 206 million and net revenues of CHF 911 million. Income before taxes decreased 22% compared to 1Q16 and 44% compared to 2Q15.
Results Summary
2Q16 results
In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 206 million and net revenues of CHF 911 million. Compared to 1Q16, net revenues were stable, as higher equity sales and trading revenues, higher underwriting and advisory revenues and higher net interest income in Private Banking were offset by lower fixed income sales and trading revenues. Provision for credit losses of CHF 3 million in 2Q16 compared to a net release of provision of CHF 22 million in 1Q16. Total operating expenses of CHF 702 million increased 6%, primarily reflecting increased compensation and benefits driven by growth-related higher headcount and higher general and administrative expenses.
Compared to 2Q15, net revenues decreased 12%, driven by lower equity sales and trading revenues reflecting the absence of the strong market conditions experienced in 2Q15. Revenues from the UHNWI and HNWI client business in Private Banking increased 10%, reflecting an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in transaction-based revenues. Total operating expenses increased 6%, primarily from increased compensation and benefits driven by growth-related higher headcount and higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower commission expenses.
Higher volumes of client trading activity made a positive contribution in the days immediately following the UK referendum on EU membership on June 23, 2016.
Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 216 million decreased 18% compared to 1Q16 and 41% compared to 2Q15.
Capital and leverage metrics
At the end of 2Q16, we reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 31.6 billion, an increase of CHF 4.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, primarily due to an increase in commercial lending. Leverage exposure was CHF 107.6 billion, reflecting an increase of CHF 3.7 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, driven by increased HQLA balances associated with funding requirements.

Results
Income before taxes of CHF 90 million decreased 25% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting higher operating expenses and as a result of a net release of provision for credit losses in 1Q16, partially offset by higher net revenues. Compared to 2Q15 income before taxes decreased 24%, primarily from higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher net revenues.
Net revenues
Net revenues of CHF 337 million increased 6% compared to 1Q16, mainly due to higher other revenues and higher net interest income, partially offset by lower transaction-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees. Other revenues in 1Q16 primarily reflected the reversal of gains on credit hedges in 1Q16 that were offset by a corresponding release of provision for credit losses. Net interest income increased 7% to CHF 143 million reflecting higher loan and deposit margins on higher average volumes. Transaction-based revenues decreased 3% to CHF 124 million due to the receipt of a dividend from an equity participation in 1Q16, partially offset by higher brokerage and product issuing fees and corporate advisory fees arising from integrated solutions. Recurring commissions and fees decreased 4% to CHF 70 million, primarily reflecting lower banking services fees and fees from discretionary mandates.
Compared to 2Q15, net revenues increased 10%, mainly reflecting an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in transaction-based revenues. Net interest income increased 38% reflecting higher loan and deposit margins on higher average volumes. Recurring commissions and fees increased 11%, primarily reflecting higher wealth structuring solution and investment product management fees. Transaction-based revenues decreased 11%, primarily reflecting lower brokerage and product issuing fees, partially offset by higher corporate advisory fees arising from integrated solutions.

expenses and higher compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses increased 35%, to CHF 77 million, mainly due to the higher allocated corporate function costs related to investments in infrastructure for risk, control and compliance functions to support business growth and meet increasing regulatory requirements. Compensation and benefits increased 7% to CHF 158 million, primarily driven by higher salary expenses reflecting growth-related higher headcount.
Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses increased 30%, mainly reflecting higher compensation and benefits and higher general and administrative expenses. Compensation and benefits increased 25% primarily driven by higher salary expenses reflecting growth-related higher headcount.

Results
Income before taxes of CHF 116 million decreased 19% compared to 1Q16, mainly due to slightly lower net revenues and higher restructuring expenses. Compared to 2Q15, income before taxes decreased 53%, mainly due to lower net revenues. Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 126 million decreased 13% compared to 1Q16 and 49% compared to 2Q15.
Net revenues
Net revenues of CHF 574 million were slightly lower compared to 1Q16, mainly reflecting lower fixed income sales and trading revenues, largely offset by higher equity sales and trading and underwriting and advisory revenues. Fixed income sales and trading revenues decreased 33% to CHF 167 million, mainly due to lower revenues from rates products. Equity sales and trading revenues increased 15% to CHF 340 million, reflecting higher revenues from prime services, systematic market making and equity derivatives due to improved market conditions, client activity and higher revenues from structured financing solutions, partially offset by lower revenues from cash equities reflecting subdued trading volumes. Equity derivatives results in 2Q16 included the positive impact of CHF 65 million resulting from a recalibration of the valuation model for certain hybrid instruments to reflect increased observability of pricing data and a more standardized approach across products. Underwriting and advisory revenues increased 39% to CHF 100 million, primarily reflecting higher advisory fees from M&A transactions and higher debt and equity underwriting revenues.
Compared to 2Q15, net revenues decreased 22%, mainly due to significantly lower equity sales and trading revenues, partially offset by higher fixed income sales and trading revenues. Equity sales and trading revenues decreased 39%, reflecting the absence of the strong market conditions experienced in 2Q15, primarily in derivatives and systematic market making. Equity derivatives results in 2Q16 included the impact of the recalibration of the valuation model for certain hybrid instruments. Cash equities revenues were lower due to subdued trading volumes. Fixed income sales and trading revenues increased 36%, primarily driven by rates and foreign exchange products. Underwriting and advisory revenues increased 22% due to higher advisory fees from M&A transactions and debt underwriting, partially offset by lower equity underwriting fees reflecting fewer initial public offerings (IPO) and related follow-on activities.

Global Markets
In 2Q16, Global Markets reported income before taxes of CHF 154 million and net revenues of CHF 1,630 million. Net revenues increased 31% compared to 1Q16, primarily due to higher revenues from our credit businesses.
Results Summary
2Q16 results
In 2Q16, Global Markets made significant progress on its accelerated restructuring towards achieving a more cost and capital efficient business with a reduced risk profile. The restructured business model operates under three business lines generating revenues from trading and underwriting: equities, credit and solutions. Equities includes cash equities, prime services, systematic market making and equity underwriting. Credit is comprised of our yield businesses, including global credit products, leveraged finance and investment grade underwriting and securitized products. Solutions combines our structured lending and derivatives capabilities across equity derivatives, global macro products and emerging markets.
In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 154 million and net revenues of CHF 1,630 million. Compared to 1Q16, net revenues increased 31%, mainly due to higher revenues from our credit businesses. Compared to 2Q15, net revenues declined 15%. Revenues from our equities businesses declined 10%, credit decreased 20% and solutions decreased 6%.
Higher volumes of client trading activity made a positive contribution in the days immediately following the UK referendum on EU membership on June 23, 2016.
Total operating expenses of CHF 1,493 million increased 5% compared to 1Q16, reflecting increased compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower restructuring costs of CHF 50 million in 2Q16. Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses declined 3%, reflecting improved operating efficiency, and due to lower compensation and benefits and litigation expenses. We reported an adjusted income before taxes of CHF 204 million in 2Q16, compared to an adjusted loss before taxes of CHF 98 million in 1Q16 and an adjusted income before taxes of CHF 445 million in 2Q15.

Capital and leverage metrics
We significantly reduced capital usage compared to both 1Q16 and 2Q15, and are operating within our end-2016 risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure targets. As of the end of 2Q16, we reported risk-weighted assets of USD 52.1 billion, below our end-2016 target of USD 60 billion. Risk-weighted assets decreased USD 7.1 billion compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting movements in risk levels. Leverage exposure was USD 286.5 billion, reflecting a decrease of USD 5.9 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, primarily reflecting business reductions. This compares to our end-2016 target of USD 290 billion.

Results
Equities
In 2Q16, equities revenues of CHF 536 million were stable compared to 1Q16, reflecting increased volatility surrounding the UK referendum. Systematic market making revenues increased, reflecting improved trading conditions. Prime services results improved, reflecting higher client financing activity and a seasonal increase in revenues as a result of the European dividend season. Equity underwriting revenues increased, reflecting an improvement in industry-wide issuance activity. In addition, cash equities trading revenues declined slightly, reflecting reduced trading volumes in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Compared to 2Q15, revenues declined 10%, reflecting lower capital usage, investor outflows from equity funds and increased volatility surrounding the United Kingdom referendum on withdrawal from the European Union, which negatively impacted underwriting activity. Prime services revenues declined due to reduced client activity and risk appetite and as a result of our reduced leverage exposure. Equity underwriting revenues declined in line with muted industry-wide activity across IPOs and follow-on offerings. Cash equities trading revenues declined, reflecting the negative impact of lower primary issuance activity. We had stable revenues in systematic market making, reflecting more favorable trading conditions and higher volatility surrounding the UK referendum.
Credit
In 2Q16, credit revenues of CHF 742 million increased 90% compared to 1Q16, reflecting a significant rebound in credit asset prices and lower volatility, which supported increased client activity. Securitized products trading revenues increased substantially, primarily reflecting strong client activity, notably in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trading. Underwriting revenues increased as well, reflecting higher industry-wide leveraged finance and investment grade issuance activity. In addition, global credit products trading revenues increased significantly, reflecting improved leveraged finance trading revenues in a strong primary issuance environment.
39
Compared to 2Q15, revenues decreased 20%, primarily due to significantly lower results in our securitized products business. This decrease was partially offset by strong results in global credit products. Securitized products trading revenues declined across all products primarily as we decreased risk in the portfolio by reducing inventory positions and due to lower capital usage compared to 2Q15. Higher global credit products trading revenues reflected increased leveraged finance and investment grade trading activity. Underwriting revenues were stable as improved industry-wide investment grade issuance activity was offset by lower leveraged finance issuance activity.
Solutions
In 2Q16, solutions revenues of CHF 409 million increased 19% compared to 1Q16, reflecting less volatile commodity prices and improved market conditions. Emerging markets revenues increased compared to a muted 1Q16 performance, reflecting higher trading and financing performance, most notably in Brazil. Equity derivatives revenues increased, reflecting higher corporate derivatives and convertibles results. These increases were partially offset by lower global macro products revenues, driven by reduced client activity in our rates business.
Compared to 2Q15, revenues decreased 6%, reflecting increased volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty surrounding the UK referendum, which resulted in lower client activity. We had lower revenues in global macro products due to reduced client activity in our rates business. The decline in global macro products was partially offset by higher foreign exchange revenues due to higher volatility. Emerging markets revenues were stable as improved trading performance in Brazil, compared to subdued 2Q15 results, offset lower structured products performance. Equity derivatives revenues were stable, as higher revenues in corporate derivatives offset subdued client activity in structured derivatives.
Provision for credit losses
Global markets recorded a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 17 million in 2Q16. This compares to a provision for credit losses of CHF 23 million in 1Q16 and a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 4 million in 2Q15, reflecting a stabilizing energy sector.
Total operating expenses
In 2Q16, total operating expenses of CHF 1,493 million increased 5%, compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting higher compensation and benefits and the changes to the methodology for the allocation of corporate function costs, partially offset by lower costs related to our risk, regulatory and compliance infrastructure and lower restructuring expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily driven by increased discretionary compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased, primarily reflecting higher indirect taxes. Adjusted total operating expenses increased 9%.
Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses declined 3%, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits and lower litigation provisions, partially offset by higher restructuring expenses. The decrease in compensation and benefits was due to lower deferred compensation expenses from prior-year awards, reflecting a lower deferral rate. General and administrative expenses declined, reflecting lower litigation provisions. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased 3%.

Investment Banking & Capital Markets
In 2Q16, Investment Banking & Capital Markets reported income before taxes of CHF 135 million and net revenues of CHF 543 million. Net revenues increased 40% compared to 1Q16 and declined 4% compared to 2Q15.
Results Summary
2Q16 results
In 2Q16, we reported income before taxes of CHF 135 million, a significant increase compared to a loss in 1Q16, primarily due to higher net revenues, lower restructuring expenses and no provision for credit losses. Net revenues of CHF 543 million increased 40% compared to 1Q16, primarily due to higher underwriting revenues and better performance from our corporate lending portfolio. Revenues from advisory and other fees of CHF 178 million decreased 21%, reflecting a strong performance in 1Q16. This decrease was offset by higher debt and equity underwriting revenues. Debt underwriting revenues of CHF 303 million increased 68% compared to 1Q16 and equity underwriting revenues of CHF 95 million increased 116%. Total operating expenses of CHF 408 million decreased 3% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting lower restructuring expenses.
Compared to 2Q15, income before taxes decreased 7% and net revenues declined 4%. Although revenues from advisory and other fees decreased 3% compared to 2Q15, our share of wallet increased in 2Q16. Debt underwriting revenues increased 18% and equity underwriting revenues declined 26% compared to 2Q15. Total operating expenses decreased 4% compared to 2Q15, primarily reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits.

Capital and leverage metrics
As of the end of 2Q16, risk-weighted assets were USD 17.0 billion, a decrease of USD 0.8 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, mainly driven by a reduction in underwriting volumes. Leverage exposure was USD 44.9 billion, reflecting a decrease of USD 1.4 billion compared to the end of 1Q16, as reduced commitment volumes offset increased HQLA balances associated with funding requirements.
Results
Advisory and other fees
In 2Q16, revenues from advisory and other fees of CHF 178 million decreased 21% compared to 1Q16, which was marked by a strong performance.
Revenues decreased 3% compared to 2Q15. The decrease was lower than the industry-wide decline in the overall fee pool, resulting in an increase in our share of wallet in M&A. Share of wallet refers to our share of the overall fee pool for the respective products.
Debt underwriting
In 2Q16, debt underwriting revenues of CHF 303 million increased 68% compared to 1Q16, driven by higher leveraged finance revenues and strong investment grade revenues from acquisition-related issuances.
Compared to 2Q15, revenues increased 18%, driven by higher derivatives financing, leveraged finance and investment grade revenues.
Equity underwriting
In 2Q16, revenues from equity underwriting of CHF 95 million increased 116% compared to 1Q16, driven by higher revenues from follow-on offerings and equity derivatives.
Compared to 2Q15, revenues decreased 26%, primarily due to lower industry-wide equity issuance activity.
Provision for credit losses
There was no provision for credit losses in 2Q16. In 1Q16, we recognized a CHF 29 million provision for credit losses, primarily relating to the energy sector.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses of CHF 408 million decreased 3% compared to 1Q16, primarily reflecting lower restructuring expenses. Compensation and benefits increased 7%, driven by higher salary and discretionary compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses of CHF 108 million increased 2%.
Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses decreased 4%, driven by a 6% decrease in compensation and benefits, reflecting a decline in deferred compensation expense from prior year awards as a result of lower deferral rates. This was partially offset by a 16% increase in general and administrative expenses, which was primarily driven by the changes to the methodology for the allocation of corporate function costs.

In 2Q16, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 759 million compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 1,253 million in 1Q16 and a loss before taxes of CHF 250 million in 2Q15.
The Strategic Resolution Unit reported negative net revenues of CHF 363 million in 2Q16, which included valuation adjustments in the legacy investment banking portfolio and legacy funding costs, partially offset by revenues from the legacy cross-border business and small markets. In 2Q16, there was a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 37 million. Total operating expenses were CHF 433 million in 2Q16, including CHF 230 million of general and administrative expenses and CHF 162 million of compensation and benefits.
Capital and leverage metrics
In 2Q16, reduced risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure reflected various initiatives, including the execution of a purchase and sale agreement on the entire credit derivative swap portfolio and the sale or restructure of the majority of cash credit assets during the quarter. As of the end of 2Q16, we reported risk-weighted assets of USD 58.0 billion, a decrease of USD 9.0 billion and USD 19.0 billion compared to the end of 1Q16 and 2Q15, respectively. Leverage exposure was USD 147.6 billion as of the end of 2Q16, reflecting a decrease of USD 19.3 billion and USD 55.4 billion compared to the end of 1Q16 and 2Q15, respectively.

Net revenues
The Strategic Resolution Unit reported negative net revenues of CHF 363 million in 2Q16 compared to negative net revenues of CHF 541 million in 1Q16 and net revenues of CHF 410 million in 2Q15. Compared to 1Q16, the movement was primarily driven by valuation adjustments in the legacy investment banking portfolio, partially offset by lower revenues from the restructuring of select onshore businesses, in particular the transfer of our US private banking business, which was announced in October 2015. Compared to 2Q15, the movement was primarily driven by lower net revenues relating to the legacy investment banking portfolio and lower revenues relating to the restructuring of select onshore businesses.
Provision for credit losses
In 2Q16, there was a release of the provision for credit losses of CHF 37 million compared to a provision for credit losses of CHF 115 million in 1Q16 and CHF 12 million in 2Q15. The improvement as compared to 1Q16 and 2Q15 was primarily related to the release of provisions for legacy corporate loans.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses of CHF 433 million decreased CHF 164 million compared to 1Q16, reflecting lower restructuring expenses and lower general and administrative expenses, in spite of higher litigation expenses. Compared to 2Q15, total operating expenses decreased CHF 215 million, primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits due to the transfer of our US private banking business. Total operating expenses in 2Q16 included costs of CHF 59 million to meet requirements related to the settlements with US authorities regarding US cross-border matters.

Corporate Center
Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. It also includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.
Results summary
In 2Q16, Corporate Center recorded losses before taxes of CHF 235 million compared to a gain before taxes of CHF 33 million in 1Q16 and CHF 263 million in 2Q15. We early adopted certain sections of ASU 2016-01 which require that changes in fair value relating to the instrument-specific credit risk of fair value option-elected financial liabilities be presented separately in accumulated other comprehensive income. Therefore, fair value gains or losses from movements in own credit spreads are no longer recorded in the Corporate Center beginning in 1Q16. Other revenues primarily reflected required elimination adjustments associated with trading in own shares. Compensation and benefits mainly reflect fair value adjustments on certain deferred compensation plans not allocated to the segments. General and administrative expenses primarily reflected costs associated with the evolution of our legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements.

Assets under management
As of the end of 2Q16, assets under management were CHF 1,218.4 billion, 3.2% higher compared to the end of 1Q16, primarily due to favorable market and foreign exchange-related movements and net new assets of CHF 12.1 billion.
Assets under management
Assets under management comprise assets that are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets.
Discretionary assets are assets for which the client fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the business in which the advice is provided as well as in the business in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by the Asset Management business of International Wealth Management for other businesses are reported in each applicable business and eliminated at the Group level.
Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.
Assets under management and net new assets include assets managed by consolidated entities, joint ventures and strategic participations. Assets from joint ventures and participations are counted in proportion to our share in the respective entity.
Net new assets
Net new assets include individual cash payments, delivery of securities and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments. Interest and dividend income credited to clients, commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are not included as they do not reflect success in acquiring assets under management.
Furthermore, changes due to foreign exchange-related and market movements as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of net new assets.

Liquidity and funding management
In 2Q16, we maintained a strong liquidity and funding position. The majority of our unsecured funding was generated from core customer deposits and long-term debt.
Overview
Securities for funding and capital purposes have historically been issued primarily by the Bank, our principal operating subsidiary and a US registrant. In response to regulatory reform, we have started pursuing a dual track issuance strategy with securities offered at the Group level. Proceeds from issuances are lent to operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed; the latter typically to meet capital requirements and the former as desired by management to support business initiatives and liquidity needs.
Our internal liquidity risk management framework is subject to review and monitoring by FINMA, other regulators and rating agencies.
> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on liquidity and funding management.
Regulatory framework
Basel III liquidity framework
In 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The Basel III framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR). As of January 1, 2013, Basel III was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. Our related disclosures are in accordance with our interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions and estimates. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our interpretations, assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this report.
The LCR, which is being phased in from January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019, addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The LCR aims to ensure that banks have unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) available to meet short-term liquidity needs under a severe stress scenario. The LCR is comprised of two components, the value of HQLA in stressed conditions and the total net cash outflows calculated according to specified scenario parameters. Under the BCBS requirements, the ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows is subject to an initial minimum requirement of 60%, which will increase by 10% per year until January 1, 2019.
The NSFR establishes criteria for a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity of a bank’s on- and off-balance sheet activities over a one-year horizon. The NSFR is a complementary measure to the LCR and is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The NSFR is defined as the ratio of available stable funding over the amount of required stable funding and, once in effect, should always be at least 100%. Following an observation period which began in 2012, the NSFR will become a minimum standard on January 1, 2018, at which time banks will be required to comply with disclosure requirements prescribed by the BCBS and implemented by national regulators.
Swiss liquidity requirements
In 2012, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a liquidity ordinance (Liquidity Ordinance) that implements Basel III liquidity requirements into Swiss law subject, in part, to further rule-making, including the final Basel III LCR rules adopted in 2014. As a result, all Swiss banks became subject to an initial 60% LCR requirement, with incremental increases by 10% per year until January 1, 2019. Systemically relevant banks like Credit Suisse became subject to an initial minimum LCR requirement of 100% beginning on January 1, 2015. Further, beginning in May 2015, FINMA required us to maintain a minimum LCR of 110% at all times.
Our liquidity principles and our liquidity risk management framework as agreed with FINMA are in line with the Basel III liquidity framework.
> Refer to “Treasury management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the Basel III liquidity framework and Swiss liquidity requirements.
Liquidity risk management framework
Our liquidity and funding policy is designed to ensure that funding is available to meet all obligations in times of stress, whether caused by market events or issues specific to Credit Suisse. We achieve this through a conservative asset/liability management strategy aimed at maintaining long-term funding, including stable deposits, in excess of illiquid assets. To address short-term liquidity stress, we maintain a liquidity pool, described below, that covers unexpected outflows in the event of severe market and idiosyncratic stress. Our liquidity risk parameters reflect various liquidity stress assumptions that we believe are conservative. We manage our liquidity profile at a sufficient level such that, in the event we are unable to access unsecured funding, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for a period of time in excess of our minimum limit. This includes potential currency mismatches, which are not deemed to be a major risk but are monitored and subject to limits, particularly in the significant currencies of euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Swiss franc and US dollar.

Liquidity metrics
Liquidity pool
Treasury manages a sizeable portfolio of liquid assets, comprised of HQLA as defined by FINMA. A portion of the liquidity pool is generated through reverse repurchase agreements with top-rated counterparties. We are mindful of potential credit risk and therefore focus our liquidity holdings strategy on cash held at central banks, highly rated government bonds and short-term reverse repurchase agreements. These government bonds are eligible as collateral for liquidity facilities with various central banks including the SNB, the Fed, the ECB and the Bank of England. Our direct exposure on these bonds is limited to highly liquid, top-rated sovereign entities or fully guaranteed agencies of sovereign entities. The liquidity pool may be used to meet the liquidity requirements of our operating companies.
For the purpose of the LCR disclosure as of the end of 2Q16, our liquidity pool managed by Treasury had an HQLA value of CHF 195.3 billion. The liquidity pool consisted of CHF 123.6 billion of cash held at major central banks, primarily the SNB, the Fed and the ECB, and CHF 71.7 billion market value of securities issued by governments and government agencies, primarily from the US, UK, France and Germany. In addition to the liquidity portfolio managed by Treasury, there is also a portfolio of unencumbered liquid assets managed by various businesses, primarily in the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions. These assets generally include high-grade bonds and highly liquid equity securities that form part of major indices. In coordination with the businesses, Treasury can access these assets to generate liquidity if required. As of the end of 2Q16, the portfolio that is not managed by Treasury had a market value of CHF 29.7 billion, consisting of CHF 4.7 billion of high-grade bonds and CHF 25.0 billion of highly liquid equity securities. Under our internal model, an average stress-level haircut of 20% is applied to these assets. The haircuts applied to these portfolios reflect our assessment of overall market risk at the time of measurement, potential monetization capacity taking into account increased haircuts, market volatility and the quality of the relevant securities.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio
For disclosure purposes our LCR is calculated using a three-month average. As of the end of 2Q16, our LCR average was 172%, representing HQLA of CHF 195.3 billion and net cash outflows of CHF 113.3 billion.
The increase in the LCR compared to 1Q16 was driven by the increase in HQLA, primarily from higher deposits at central banks and reduced net cash outflows. This continues the strengthening of the ratio since 1Q15 and reflects our efforts to ensure that Group entities meet applicable local liquidity requirements.
The decrease in net cash outflows mainly reflected lower secured wholesale funding and reductions in additional requirements related to credit and liquidity facilities. Unsecured wholesale funding remained steady, with a reduction in non-operational deposits that offset an increase in unsecured debt.
The decrease in secured wholesale funding also reflected lower secured lending activity, primarily related to reductions in non-HQLA transactions. The reduction in the credit and liquidity facility outflows reflected lower credit commitment balances for purposes of the LCR calculation across all counterparty types.
Cash outflows from other contractual funding obligations and other cash inflows both increased, primarily reflecting balances related to open and failed trades. However, the net impact was minimal due to the symmetrical treatment of these trades across outflows and inflows.
In connection with the implementation of Basel III, certain regulatory LCR disclosures for the Group, the Bank, the Bank parent company and Credit Suisse International are required. Further details on our LCR can be found on our website.
> Refer to www.credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for additional information.
Funding sources and uses
We fund our balance sheet primarily through core customer deposits, long-term debt, including structured notes, and shareholders’ equity. We monitor the funding sources, including their concentrations against certain limits, according to their counterparty, currency, tenor, geography and maturity, and whether they are secured or unsecured.
A substantial portion of our balance sheet is match funded and requires no unsecured funding. Match funded balance sheet items consist of assets and liabilities with close to equal liquidity durations and values so that the liquidity and funding generated or required by the positions are substantially equivalent.
Cash and due from banks and reverse repurchase agreements are highly liquid. A significant part of our assets, principally unencumbered trading assets that support the securities business, is comprised of securities inventories and collateralized receivables that fluctuate and are generally liquid. These liquid assets are available to settle short-term liabilities.
52
Loans, which comprise the largest component of our illiquid assets, are funded by our core customer deposits, with an excess coverage of 13% as of the end of 2Q16, compared to 11% as of the end of 1Q16, primarily reflecting a small increase in deposits. We fund other illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments as well as the haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, in which we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer.
Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 306 billion as of the end of 2Q16, compared to CHF 299 billion as of the end of 1Q16, reflecting a small increase in the customer deposit base in private banking and corporate & institutional banking businesses. Core customer deposits are from clients with whom we have a broad and longstanding relationship. Core customer deposits exclude deposits from banks and certificates of deposit. We place a priority on maintaining and growing customer deposits, as they have proven to be a stable and resilient source of funding even in difficult market conditions. Our core customer deposit funding is supplemented by the issuance of long-term debt.
> Refer to the chart “Balance sheet funding structure” and “Balance sheet” in Balance sheet, off-balance sheet and other contractual obligations for further information.
Debt issuances and redemptions
Our long-term debt includes senior and subordinated debt issued in US-registered offerings and medium-term note programs, euro market medium-term note programs, stand-alone offerings, structured note programs, covered bond programs, Australian dollar domestic medium-term note programs and a Samurai shelf registration statement in Japan. As a global bank, we have access to multiple markets worldwide and our major funding centers are New York, London, Zurich and Tokyo. Our covered bond funding is in the form of mortgage-backed loans funded by domestic covered bonds issued through Pfandbriefbank Schweizerischer Hypothekarinstitute, one of two institutions established by a 1930 act of the Swiss Parliament to centralize the issuance of covered bonds.
The following table provides information on long-term debt issuances, maturities and redemptions in 2Q16, excluding structured notes.

As of the end of 2Q16, we had outstanding long-term debt of CHF 200.2 billion, which included senior and subordinated instruments. We had CHF 60.4 billion and CHF 18.7 billion of structured notes and covered bonds outstanding, respectively, as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 55.0 billion and CHF 19.7 billion, respectively, as of the end of 1Q16.
> Refer to “Capital issuances and redemptions” in Capital management for information on capital issuances, including buffer and progressive capital notes.
As of the end of 2Q16, the weighted average maturity of long-term debt was 5.8 years (including certificates of deposit with a maturity of one year or longer, but excluding structured notes, and assuming callable securities are redeemed at final maturity, or in 2030 for instruments without a stated final maturity).
Short-term borrowings decreased to CHF 11.2 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 14.8 billion as of the end of 1Q16.
Credit ratings
In May 2016, Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term rating of Credit Suisse Group AG by one notch and affirmed Credit Suisse AG’s long-term rating while revising its outlook from positive to stable. The maximum impact of a simultaneous one, two or three-notch downgrade by all three major rating agencies in the Bank’s long-term debt ratings would result in additional collateral requirements or assumed termination payments under certain derivative instruments of CHF 0.9 billion, CHF 2.9 billion and CHF 3.5 billion, respectively, as of the end of 2Q16, and would not be material to our liquidity and funding planning. If the downgrade does not involve all three rating agencies, the impact may be smaller.
Potential cash outflows on these derivative contracts associated with a downgrade of our long-term debt credit ratings, such as the requirement to post additional collateral to the counterparty, the loss of re-hypothecation rights on any collateral received and impacts arising from additional termination events are monitored and taken into account in the calculation of our liquidity requirements. There are additional derivative related risks that do not relate to the downgrade of our long term debt credit ratings and which may impact our liquidity position, including risks relating to holdings of derivatives collateral or potential movements in the valuation of derivatives positions. The potential outflows resulting across all derivate product types are monitored as part of the LCR scenario parameters and internal liquidity reporting.

Capital management
As of the end of 2Q16, our CET1 ratio was 14.2% under Basel III and 11.8% on a look-through basis. Our risk-weighted assets were CHF 275.1 billion and our tier 1 capital was CHF 49.8 billion. Our BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 5.1% and 4.4% on a look-through basis.
Regulatory capital framework
Overview
Effective January 1, 2013, the Basel III framework was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder (Swiss Requirements). Together with the related implementing ordinances, the legislation includes capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency. Our related disclosures are in accordance with our current interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this report. Also, our capital metrics fluctuate during any reporting period in the ordinary course of business.
References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III capital requirements and Swiss Requirements. Phase-in reflects that, for the years 2014 – 2018, there will be a five-year (20% per annum) phase-in of goodwill, other intangible assets and other capital deductions (e.g., certain deferred tax assets) and the phase-out of an adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans and, for the years 2013 – 2022, there will be a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other regulatory adjustments and the phase-out of certain capital instruments.
> Refer to “Capital management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information.
BIS requirements
The BCBS, the standard setting committee within the BIS, issued the Basel III framework, with higher minimum capital requirements and conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. The framework was designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector and requires banks to hold more capital, mainly in the form of common equity. The new capital standards are being phased in from 2013 through 2018 and are fully effective January 1, 2019 for those countries that have adopted Basel III.
> Refer to the table “Basel III phase-in requirements for Credit Suisse” for capital requirements and applicable effective dates during the phase-in period.
Under Basel III, the minimum CET1 requirement is 4.5% of risk-weighted assets (RWA). In addition, a 2.5% CET1 capital conservation buffer is required to absorb losses in periods of financial and economic stress. Banks that do not maintain this buffer will be limited in their ability to pay dividends and make discretionary bonus payments and other earnings distributions.

Includes goodwill, other intangible assets and certain deferred tax assets.
A progressive buffer between 1% and 2.5% (with a possible additional 1% surcharge) of CET1, depending on a bank’s systemic importance, is an additional capital requirement for global systemically important banks (G-SIB). The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has identified Credit Suisse as a G-SIB and requires Credit Suisse to maintain a 1.5% progressive buffer.
In addition to the CET1 requirements, there is also a requirement for 1.5% additional tier 1 capital and 2% tier 2 capital. These requirements may also be met with CET1 capital. To qualify as additional tier 1 under Basel III, capital instruments must provide for principal loss absorption through a conversion into common equity or a write-down of principal feature. The trigger for such conversion or write-down must include a CET1 ratio of at least 5.125%.
Basel III further provides for a countercyclical buffer that could require banks to hold up to 2.5% of CET1 or other capital that would be available to fully absorb losses. This requirement is expected to be imposed by national regulators where credit growth is deemed to be excessive and leading to the build-up of system-wide risk.
Capital instruments that do not meet the strict criteria for inclusion in CET1 are excluded. Capital instruments that would no longer qualify as tier 1 or tier 2 capital will be phased out. In addition, instruments with an incentive to redeem prior to their stated maturity, if any, are phased out at their effective maturity date, generally the date of the first step-up coupon.
Banks are required to maintain a tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% beginning on January 1, 2018.
Swiss Requirements
The legislation implementing the Basel III framework in Switzerland in respect of capital requirements for systemically relevant banks goes beyond Basel III’s minimum standards, including requiring us, as a systemically relevant bank, to have the following minimum, buffer and progressive components.
> Refer to “Swiss Requirements” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management – Regulatory capital framework in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information.
> Refer to the chart “Swiss capital and leverage ratio phase-in requirements for Credit Suisse” for Swiss capital requirements and applicable effective dates during the phase-in period.
The minimum requirement of CET1 capital is 4.5% of RWA.
The buffer requirement is 8.5% and can be met with additional CET1 capital of 5.5% of RWA and a maximum of 3% of high-trigger capital instruments. High-trigger capital instruments must convert into common equity or be written off if the CET1 ratio falls below 7%.
The progressive component requirement is dependent on our size (leverage exposure) and the market share of our domestic systemically relevant business and is subject to potential capital rebates that may be granted by FINMA. Effective in 2016, FINMA set our progressive component requirement at 5.07% for 2019. The progressive component requirement may be met with CET1 capital or low-trigger capital instruments. In order to qualify, low-trigger capital instruments must convert into common equity or be written off if the CET1 ratio falls below a specified percentage, the lowest of which may be 5%. In addition, until the end of 2017, the progressive component requirement may also be met with high-trigger capital instruments. Both high- and low-trigger capital instruments must comply with the Basel III minimum requirements for tier 2 capital (including subordination, point-of-non-viability loss absorption and minimum maturity).
Similar to Basel III, the Swiss Requirements include a supplemental countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of RWA that can be activated during periods of excess credit growth. Effective September 2013, the buffer was activated and initially required banks to hold CET1 capital in the amount of 1% of their RWA pertaining to mortgages that finance residential property in Switzerland. In January 2014, upon the request of the SNB, the Swiss Federal Council increased the countercyclical buffer from 1% to 2%, effective June 30, 2014.
In 2013, FINMA introduced increased capital charges for mortgages that finance owner occupied residential property in Switzerland (mortgage multiplier) to be phased in through January 1, 2019. The mortgage multiplier applies for purposes of both BIS and FINMA requirements.
In December 2013, FINMA issued a decree (FINMA Decree) specifying capital adequacy requirements for the Bank, on a stand-alone basis (Bank parent company), and the Bank and the Group, each on a consolidated basis, as systemically relevant institutions.
> Refer to “Regulatory developments and proposals” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the FINMA Decree.
We must also comply with a leverage ratio applicable to Swiss systemically relevant banks (Swiss leverage ratio). This leverage ratio must be at least 24% of each of the respective minimum, buffer and progressive component requirements. Since the ratio is defined by reference to capital requirements subject to phase-in arrangements, the ratio will also be phased in.
55
Risk measurement models
Within the Basel framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, we implemented risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge, stressed Value-at-Risk (VaR), risks not in VaR and advanced credit valuation adjustment (CVA).
For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with 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. In 2Q16, our market risk capital multiplier remained at FINMA and BIS minimum levels and we did not experience an increase in market risk capital.
> Refer to “Market risk review” in Risk management for further information.
> Refer to “Risk measurement models” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management – Regulatory capital framework in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information.
Regulatory developments and proposals
In May 2016, the Swiss Federal Council amended the Capital Adequacy Ordinance (CAO) applicable to Swiss banks. The amendment recalibrates and expands the existing “Too Big to Fail” regime in Switzerland. Under the amended regime, systemically important banks operating internationally, such as Credit Suisse, will be subject to two different minimum requirements for loss-absorbing capacity: G-SIBs must hold sufficient capital that absorbs current operating losses to ensure continuity of service (going concern requirement) and they must issue sufficient debt instruments to fund restructuring without recourse to public resources (gone concern requirement). The going concern and the gone concern capital requirements are consistent with the FSB’s total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) standard. The amended CAO came into effect on July 1, 2016, subject to phase-in and grandfathering provisions for certain outstanding instruments, and has to be fully applied by January 1, 2020.
Going concern capital requirement
The going concern capital requirement applicable in 2020 for a G-SIB consists of (i) a base requirement of 12.86% of RWA and a 4.5% Swiss leverage ratio; and (ii) a surcharge, which reflects the G-SIB’s systemic importance and is subject to potential capital rebates that may be granted by FINMA. For Credit Suisse, this currently translates into a going concern capital requirement of 14.3% of RWA, of which the minimum CET1 component is 10%, with the remainder to be met with a maximum of 4.3% of high-trigger tier 1 capital instruments that would be converted into common equity or written down if the CET1 ratio falls below 7%. Under the going concern requirement, the Swiss leverage ratio must be 5%, of which the minimum CET1 component is 3.5%, with the remainder to be met with a maximum of 1.5% of high-trigger tier 1 capital instruments.
Additionally, Swiss banks with a certain size and a certain exposure outside of Switzerland, such as Credit Suisse, may be obliged to maintain a supplementary countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of RWA.
Gone concern capital requirement
The gone concern requirement of a G-SIB is equal to its total going concern capital requirement, that is in 2020, a minimum of 12.86% of RWA and a minimum 4.5% Swiss leverage ratio, plus any surcharges applicable to the relevant G-SIB, but not including any countercyclical buffers. Credit Suisse is currently subject to a gone concern requirement of 14.3% of RWA and a 5% Swiss leverage ratio.
The gone concern requirement should primarily be fulfilled with bail-in debt instruments that are designed to absorb losses after the write down or conversion of regulatory capital of a G-SIB in a restructuring scenario, but before the write down or conversion of other senior obligations of the G-SIB. Bail-in debt instruments do not feature capital triggers that may lead to a write-down and/or a conversion into equity outside of restructuring, but only begin to bear losses once the G-SIB is formally in restructuring and FINMA orders capital measures (i.e., a write-down and/or a conversion into equity) in the restructuring plan.
According to the amended CAO, bail-in debt instruments must fulfill certain criteria in order to qualify under the gone concern requirement, including FINMA approval. In addition to bail-in debt instruments, the gone concern requirement may further be fulfilled with other capital instruments, including CET1, additional tier 1 capital instruments or tier 2 capital instruments.
56
Grandfathering provisions
The CAO provides for a number of grandfathering provisions with regard to the qualification of previously issued additional tier 1 capital instruments and tier 2 capital instruments:
– Tier 2 capital instruments with a high trigger qualify as going concern capital until the earlier of (i) their maturity date or first call date; and (ii) December 31, 2019. Tier 2 capital instruments that no longer qualify as going concern capital pursuant to this provision qualify as gone concern capital until one year before their final maturity;
– Additional tier 1 capital instruments with a low trigger qualify as going concern capital until their first call date. Additional tier 1 capital instruments that no longer qualify as going concern capital pursuant to this provision qualify for the gone concern capital; and
– Tier 2 capital instruments with a low trigger qualify as going concern capital until the earlier of (i) their maturity date or first call date; and (ii) December 31, 2019. Tier 2 capital instruments that no longer qualify as going concern capital pursuant to this provision qualify as gone concern capital until one year before their final maturity.
Furthermore, to be eligible as gone concern capital, outstanding bail-in debt instruments issued before July 1, 2016 and bail-in debt instruments to be issued by a (Swiss or foreign) special purpose vehicle before January 1, 2017 must be approved by FINMA.
Both the going concern and the gone concern requirements are subject to a phase-in with gradually increasing requirements and have to be fully applied by January 1, 2020.
Interest rate risk in the banking book
In April 2016, the BCBS published revised standards for the measurement of interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). The revised IRRBB framework continues to outline a Pillar 2 supervisory review approach under the Basel framework but provides more guidance on the banks’ management process and requires additional disclosures as of year-end 2017.
issuances and redemptions
Share issuances
In 2Q16, the Group issued 133 million common shares in the amount of CHF 1,667 million in connection with a scrip dividend, deferred share-based compensation and earn-out payments relating to the acquisition of our interest in York Capital Management (York).
Capital redemptions
There were no capital redemptions in 2Q16.
Higher Trigger Capital Amount
The capital ratio write-down triggers for certain of our outstanding capital instruments take into account the fact that other outstanding capital instruments that contain relatively higher capital ratios as part of their trigger feature are expected to convert or be written down prior to the write down of such capital instruments. The amount of additional capital that is expected to be contributed by such conversion or write down is referred to as the Higher Trigger Capital Amount.
With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5.125%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 8.4 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio (i.e., the ratio of the Higher Trigger Capital Amount to the aggregate of all RWA of the Group) was 3.1%, both as of the end of 2Q16.
With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 13.6 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio was 4.9%, both as of the end of 2Q16.
> Refer to the table “BIS capital metrics – Group” for further information on the BIS statistics used to calculate such measures.
> Refer to “Higher Trigger Capital Amount” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management – Capital issuances and redemptions in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the Higher Trigger Capital Amount.

BIS capital metrics
Regulatory capital and ratios
Our CET1 ratio was 14.2% as of the end of 2Q16 compared to 13.6% as of the end of 1Q16, reflecting lower RWA and slightly higher CET1 capital. Our tier 1 ratio was 18.1% as of the end of 2Q16 compared to 17.3% as of the end of 1Q16. Our total capital ratio was 21.4% as of the end of 2Q16 compared to 20.5% as of the end of 1Q16.
CET1 capital was CHF 38.9 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 38.7 billion as of the end of 1Q16, mainly reflecting the issuance of common shares, a positive foreign exchange impact and net income attributable to shareholders, partially offset by the net effect of share-based compensation.
Additional tier 1 capital increased to CHF 10.8 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 10.5 billion as of the end of 1Q16, mainly reflecting the positive foreign exchange impact.
Tier 2 capital was CHF 9.1 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 8.9 billion as of the end of 1Q16, mainly reflecting the positive foreign exchange impact.
Total eligible capital was CHF 58.9 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to CHF 58.2 billion as of the end of 1Q16, reflecting the slight increases in CET1 capital, additional tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital.
As of the end of 2Q16, the look-through CET1 ratio was 11.8% compared to 11.4% as of the end of 1Q16. As of the end of 2Q16, the look-through total capital ratio was 18.4% compared to 17.6% as of the end of 1Q16.
Risk-weighted assets
Our balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures translate into RWA that are categorized as credit, market, operational and non-counterparty risk RWA. When assessing RWA, it is not the nominal size, but the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the RWA. Credit risk RWA reflect the capital requirements for the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of a deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty. Under Basel III, certain regulatory capital adjustments are dependent on the level of CET1 capital (thresholds). The amount above the threshold is deducted from CET1 capital and the amount below the threshold is risk weighted. RWA subject to such threshold adjustments are included in credit risk RWA. Market risk RWA reflect the capital requirements of potential changes in the fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements inherent in both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. Operational risk RWA reflect the capital requirements for the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Non-counterparty risk RWA primarily reflect the capital requirements for our premises and equipment.
RWA decreased 3% to CHF 275.1 billion as of the end of 2Q16 from CHF 283.9 billion as of the end of 1Q16, driven by a reduction in risk levels and methodology and policy changes in operational risk. This decrease was partially offset by increases resulting from the foreign exchange impact, methodology and policy changes and model and parameter updates in credit risk and market risk.
Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the decrease in credit risk was primarily driven by movements in risk levels, partially offset by methodology and policy changes and model and parameter updates. Movements in risk levels attributable to book size
59
resulted from reductions in commercial lending in Global Markets, Investment Banking & Capital Markets and the Strategic Resolution Unit, partially offset by an increase in Asia Pacific. There was also a reduction in banking book securitizations in Global Markets, Swiss Universal Bank, International Wealth Management and the Strategic Resolution Unit and a reduction in private equity investments in Global Markets and International Wealth Management. The decrease in risk levels attributable to book quality was related to credit spread changes for advanced CVA. Internal methodology and policy changes resulted primarily from an enhancement of the model applied to share-backed lending in Global Markets and Asia Pacific. External methodology and policy changes were related to the additional phase-in of the multiplier on residential and commercial income producing real estate within Swiss Universal Bank and the multiplier on certain investment banking corporate exposures across the Group.
Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the decrease in market risk was primarily driven by decreases in risk levels, partially offset by internal methodology and policy changes and model and parameter updates. The movement in risk levels was primarily related to a reduction in market risk levels and trading book securitization exposures in Global Markets and the Strategic Resolution Unit. Additional decreases in market risk levels in Swiss Universal Bank and International Wealth Management were partially offset by an increase in market risk in Asia Pacific. The increase in internal methodology and policy changes was mainly due to the application of a standardized approach to trading book securitizations, which was formerly under the ratings based approach. Increases in model and parameter updates were primarily due to market data updates for stressed spreads within Global Markets, Swiss Universal Bank, Asia Pacific and the Strategic Resolution Unit.
The decrease in operational risk was driven by internal methodology changes related to a new insurance policy applied in late 2Q16. FINMA approved the policy as part of the advanced measurement approach (AMA) model enhancements. The RWA impacts of this insurance policy were partially recognized in 2Q16, with the remainder expected to be recognized in 3Q16.

Leverage Metrics
Beginning in 1Q15, Credit Suisse adopted the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by the BCBS and implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Under the BIS framework, the leverage ratio measures tier 1 capital against the end of period exposure. BIS leverage amounts are calculated based on our interpretation of, and assumptions and estimates related to, the BIS requirements as implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our interpretations, assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown here. As used herein, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments.
The look-through leverage exposure was CHF 966.5 billion as of the end of 2Q16, stable compared to the end of 1Q16. The movement was primarily due to a decrease in adjustments for derivative financial instruments, reflecting a reduction in derivative transactions, and a decrease in adjustments for off-balance sheet exposures relating to commitments and the foreign exchange translation impact. The slight increase in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet reflected the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by lower operating activities.
> Refer to “Balance sheet and off-balance sheet” for further information on the reduction in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

Swiss regulatory capital and ratios
> Refer to “Swiss Requirements” in Regulatory capital framework for further information on Swiss regulatory requirements.
Swiss CET1 capital consists of BIS CET1 capital and certain Swiss regulatory adjustments. Swiss total eligible capital consists of Swiss CET1 capital, high-trigger capital instruments, low-trigger capital instruments, additional tier 1 and tier 2 instruments subject to phase-out and deductions from additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital.
As of the end of 2Q16, our Swiss CET1 capital and Swiss total capital ratios were 14.1% and 21.3%, respectively, compared to the Swiss capital ratio phase-in requirements of 8.12% and 14.55%, respectively.
On a look-through basis, our Swiss CET1 capital was CHF 31.9 billion and our Swiss CET1 ratio was 11.7% as of the end of 2Q16. Our Swiss total eligible capital was CHF 49.8 billion and our Swiss total capital ratio was 18.3% as of the end of 2Q16, each on a look-through basis.

Swiss Leverage Metrics
The leverage exposure used in the Swiss leverage ratio is measured on the same period-end basis as the leverage exposure for the BIS leverage ratio.
The Swiss leverage ratio is calculated as Swiss total eligible capital, including high- and low-trigger capital instruments, divided by leverage exposure.
As of the end of 2Q16, our Swiss leverage ratio was 6.0% compared to a requirement of 3.49%.
The Group’s look-through Swiss leverage ratio was 5.1% as of the end of 2Q16, compared to the current 4.34% requirement effective 2019, reflecting our progressive component requirement for 2016.

shareholders’ equity and share metrics
Total shareholders’ equity
Our total shareholders’ equity remained stable at CHF 45.0 billion as of the end of 2Q16 compared to the end of 1Q16. Total shareholders’ equity was positively impacted by foreign exchange-related movements on cumulative translation adjustments, the issuance of common shares in connection with earn-out payments relating to our acquisition of our interest in York, an increase in the share-based compensation obligation and net income attributable to shareholders. These movements were partially offset by transactions relating to the settlement of share-based compensation awards and dividends paid.

Risk management
In 2Q16, our available economic capital was stable, economic risk capital decreased 1%, overall position risk was stable and average risk management VaR in US dollars decreased 26%. Gross impaired loans increased CHF 92 million to CHF 2.3 billion on a gross loan portfolio of CHF 274.8 billion.
Overview and risk-related developments
Fundamental to our business is the prudent taking of risk in line with our strategic priorities. The primary objectives of risk management are to protect our financial strength and reputation, while ensuring that capital is well deployed to support business activities and grow shareholder value. Our risk management framework is based on transparency, management accountability and independent oversight.
> Refer to “Key risk developments”, “Risk management oversight”, “Risk appetite framework” and “Risk coverage and management” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information and additional details of our current risk management framework and activities, including definitions of certain terms and relevant metrics.
UK referendum
On June 23, 2016, voters in the UK voted to leave the European Union in a non-binding referendum. This caused significant volatility in the financial markets, including substantial declines in global stock prices and a steep devaluation of the British pound, as well as a political crisis in the UK. Among the significant global implications of the referendum is the increased uncertainty concerning a potentially more persistent and widespread imposition by central banks of negative interest rate policies. The Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank and several other monetary authorities in Europe have already introduced negative interest rates to address deflationary concerns and to prevent appreciation of their respective currencies. Going forward, it is possible the Fed may postpone a hike in interest rates, while the Bank of England may ease its monetary policy over the coming months to mitigate any potential slowdown in the UK economy.
We have been and continue monitoring developments closely and conducting various scenario analyses designed to capture factors, such as possible impacts of the referendum on UK gross domestic product, the British pound and negative interest rates to assess the potential effects on our earnings and capital position. We consider the immediate overall impact on Credit Suisse to have been manageable during this period from an exposure, earnings and liquidity perspective. We implemented a number of precautionary measures to ensure operational and infrastructure stability over the period around the referendum. In particular, we experienced substantial trading volumes in the days following the result of the referendum; however, we suffered no significant operational issues due to our active management of these volume increases.
Economic risk capital review
Economic risk capital is used as a consistent and comprehensive tool for capital management, limit monitoring and performance management. Economic risk capital is our core Group-wide risk management tool for measuring and reporting the combined impact from quantifiable risks such as market, credit, operational, pension, expense and model risks, each of which has an impact on our capital position.
Economic risk capital measures risks in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules and estimates the amount of capital needed to remain solvent and in business under extreme market, business and operating conditions over the period of one year, given our target financial strength (our long-term credit rating). Economic risk capital is set to a level needed to absorb unexpected losses at a confidence level of 99.97%. Our economic risk capital model is a set of methodologies used for measuring quantifiable risks associated with our business activities on a consistent basis. It is calculated separately for position risk (reflecting our exposure to market and credit risks), operational risk and other risks.
We regularly review our economic capital methodology in order to ensure that the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. In the event of methodology changes and dataset and model parameter updates, prior-period balances are restated in order to show meaningful trends.
> Refer to “Economic risk capital” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on economic risk capital and position risk.
In 2Q16, we have updated the divisional economic risk capital models and restated divisional economic risk capital to reflect the impact of the accelerated restructuring of the Global Markets business announced on March 23, 2016. We also enhanced the position risk methodology for risk management purposes. We modified the parameters we use in the modeling of our international lending & counterparty exposures to be more granular with respect to transaction ratings relating to regions, industries and products and updated the aggregation approach between international lending exposure and counterparty exposure. The net impact of these methodology enhancements on position risk for the Group as of the end of 1Q16 was a decrease of CHF 313 million, or 2.7%.
For economic risk capital used for capital management purposes, there were no further methodology changes in 2Q16. The net impact of the above methodology enhancements in position risk for the Group on economic risk capital used for capital
70
management purposes as of the end of 1Q16 was a decrease of CHF 480 million, or 1.4%.
Available economic capital trends
As of the end of 2Q16, our available economic capital for the Group was CHF 49.1 billion, a decrease of CHF 0.2 billion from the end of 1Q16. BIS look-through CET1 capital increased CHF 0.2 billion, mainly reflecting the issuance of common shares, a positive foreign exchange impact and net income attributable to shareholders for the period, partially offset by the net effect of share-based compensation. Economic adjustments decreased CHF 0.2 billion, mainly reflecting the release of dividend accruals with the payment of the 2015 dividend and the improved funding status of our US pension plan, partially offset by increased adjustments for low-trigger capital notes mainly due to a positive foreign exchange impact.

Economic risk capital trends
Compared to the end of 2015, our economic risk capital decreased CHF 1.6 billion, or 5%, to CHF 34.3 billion as of the end of 2Q16, driven by a 9% decrease in position risk in line with our risk reduction strategy. On a divisional level, economic risk capital decreased CHF 1.9 billion, or 16%, in Global Markets and CHF 1.8 billion, or 26%, in the Strategic Resolution Unit. These decreases were partially offset by increases of CHF 0.6 billion,
71
or 15%, in Asia Pacific, CHF 0.5 billion, or 13%, in Investment Banking & Capital Markets, CHF 0.3 billion, or 6%, in Swiss Universal Bank and CHF 0.3 billion, or 9%, in International Wealth Management.
Compared to the end of 1Q16, economic risk capital decreased CHF 0.5 million, or 1%. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, economic risk capital decreased 2%, mainly due to a decrease in other risks, partially offset by an increase in position risk. The decrease in other risks primarily reflected lower pension risk and a decrease in risks not included in the economic risk capital framework. Position risk changes mainly reflected higher emerging market country event risk from higher exposures in Latin America and higher private banking corporate & retail lending exposures, largely offset by reduced risk in equity trading & investments and real estate & structured assets and reduced counterparty risk in international lending & counterparty exposures.
For Swiss Universal Bank, economic risk capital increased 1% to CHF 5.6 billion from the end of 1Q16, mainly due to increased private banking corporate & retail lending exposures, partially offset by lower pension risk.
For International Wealth Management, economic risk capital increased 2% to CHF 3.8 billion from the end of 1Q16, mainly due to increased private banking corporate & retail lending and higher emerging market country event risk, partially offset by reduced international lending & counterparty exposures and lower pension risk.
For Asia Pacific, economic risk capital increased 8% to CHF 4.2 billion from the end of 1Q16. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, economic risk capital increased 7%, mainly due to higher international lending & counterparty exposures, partially offset by reduced derivatives exposures in equity trading & investments.
For Global Markets, economic risk capital decreased 1% to CHF 9.9 billion from the end of 1Q16. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, economic risk capital decreased 3%, primarily reflecting reduced CMBS exposures in real estate & structured assets and reduced counterparty risk in international lending & counterparty exposures, partially offset by higher emerging market country event risk from increased foreign exchange exposures in Latin America and increased expense risk.
For Investment Banking & Capital Markets, economic risk capital increased 1% to CHF 4.6 billion from the end of 1Q16. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, economic risk capital decreased 1%, mainly due to reduced counterparty risk in international lending & counterparty exposures and lower pension risk.
For the Strategic Resolution Unit, economic risk capital decreased 14% to CHF 5.2 billion from the end of 1Q16. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, economic risk capital decreased 15%, mainly due to lower risk in equity trading & investments, reduced counterparty risk in international lending & counterparty exposures, reduced expense risk and a decrease in risks not included in the economic risk capital framework.

Key position risk trends
Compared to the end of 2015, our position risk decreased CHF 1.3 billion, or 10%, to CHF 11.4 billion as of the end of 2Q16.
Compared to the end of 1Q16, position risk for risk management purposes was stable. Excluding the US dollar translation impact, position risk decreased 2%, mainly due to reduced risk in equity trading & investments due to lower equity exposures from derivatives in Asia and in the US, decreased risk in real estate & structured assets related to reduced CMBS exposures and reduced counterparty risk in international lending & counterparty exposures. These reductions were partially offset by increased foreign exchange exposures in Latin America in emerging markets country event risk and higher private banking corporate & retail lending exposures in Switzerland.
72
As part of our overall risk management, we hold a portfolio of hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements, similar to other trading securities, and may result in gains or losses which offset losses or gains on the portfolios they were designated to hedge. Due to the varying nature and structure of hedges, these gains or losses may not wholly offset the losses or gains on the portfolios.
Market risk review
Market risk is the risk of financial loss arising from movements in market prices. Market risks arise from both our trading and non-trading business activities. The classification of assets into trading book and banking book portfolios determines the approach for analyzing our market risk exposure. Market risk in the trading book is measured using VaR and market risk in our banking book is measured using sensitivity analysis on related market factors.
> Refer to “Market risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on market risk including our VaR methodology.
Trading book
Market risks from our trading book relate to our trading activities primarily in Global Markets, Asia Pacific and the Strategic Resolution Unit. We are active in most of the principal trading markets of the world, using the majority of common trading and hedging products, including derivatives such as swaps, futures, options and structured products. Some of the structured products are customized transactions using combinations of derivatives and are executed to meet specific client or proprietary needs. As a result of our broad participation in products and markets, our trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a range of risks and locations.
VaR is a risk measure which quantifies the potential loss on a given portfolio of financial instruments over a certain holding period that is expected to occur at a certain confidence level. VaR is an important tool in risk management and is used for measuring quantifiable risks from our activities exposed to market risk on a daily basis. In addition, VaR is one of the main risk measures for limit monitoring, financial reporting, calculation of regulatory capital and regulatory backtesting.
We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio. In 2Q16, we improved the methodology we use to capture the difference between a traded credit index and its single-name CDS constituents and enhanced the recognition of credit spread risk by using a more specific corporate bond time series in the US and in Europe. The cumulative impact of these updates on our VaR measures was immaterial and prior periods have not been restated.
We continue to receive regulatory approval for ongoing enhancements to our VaR methodology used for the calculation of regulatory capital, and the model is subject to regular reviews by regulators.
Information required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework related to risk is available on our website at www.credit-suisse.com/pillar3.
The tables entitled “Average one-day, 98% risk management VaR by division” and “One-day, 98% risk management VaR” show our trading-related market risk exposure, as measured by one-day, 98% risk management VaR in Swiss francs and US dollars. As we measure trading book VaR for internal risk management purposes using the US dollar as the base currency, the VaR figures were translated into Swiss francs using daily foreign exchange translation rates. VaR estimates are computed separately for each risk type and for the whole portfolio using the historical simulation methodology. The different risk types are grouped into five categories including interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange, commodities and equity.

As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit.
We measure VaR in US dollars, as a majority of our trading activities are conducted in US dollars.
Average risk management VaR decreased 26% to USD 34 million from 1Q16, mainly driven by lower credit spread risk, reflecting reduced exposures in distressed credit products across credit markets and RMBS and CMBS in the US and in Europe, as well as reduced equity exposures from derivatives in Asia. For the Strategic Resolution Unit, average risk management VaR decreased mainly due to reduced exposures in distressed credit products across credit markets. For Global Markets, the decrease in average risk management VaR was mainly driven by reduced exposures in distressed credit products and RMBS and CMBS in the US and in Europe. For Asia Pacific, the increase in average risk management VaR was primarily driven by increased interest rate exposures in Japan.
Period-end risk management VaR decreased 30% to USD 28 million from 1Q16, mainly driven by lower credit spread risk, reflecting reduced exposures in distressed credit products across credit markets and RMBS and CMBS in the US and in Europe, as well as reduced equity exposures from derivatives in Asia.
The chart entitled “Daily risk management VaR” shows the aggregated market risk in our trading book on a consolidated basis.

The histogram entitled “Actual daily trading revenues” compares the actual daily trading revenues for 2Q16 with those for 1Q16 and 4Q15. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. We had no trading loss days in 2Q16, compared to two trading loss days in 1Q16 and eight trading loss days in 4Q15.
VaR backtesting
Various techniques are used to assess the accuracy of the VaR methodology used for risk management and regulatory capital purposes. Backtesting is used to assess the accuracy of the regulatory VaR model. The purpose of the VaR backtesting process is to assess the accuracy and performance of our regulatory VaR model, to assess if our regulatory capital is sufficient to absorb actual losses, and to encourage developments to our VaR model. Backtesting involves comparing the results produced from the VaR model with the actual daily trading revenues and with a subset of the actual daily trading revenues for capital purposes. A backtesting exception occurs when a trading loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate. For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with 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 the subset of the actual daily trading revenues. In the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2Q16, we had three 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 2Q16, in line with BIS industry guidelines, the VaR model is deemed to be statistically valid.
> Refer to “Market risk” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on VaR backtesting.
> Refer to “Risk measurement models” in Capital management – Regulatory capital framework for further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements.
Banking book
Market risks from our banking book primarily relate to asset and liability mismatch exposures, equity participations and investments in bonds and money market instruments. Our businesses and the Corporate Center have non-trading portfolios that carry market risks, mainly related to changes in interest rates but also to changes in foreign exchange rates, equity prices and, to a lesser extent, commodity prices.
Interest rate risk on banking book positions is measured by estimating the impact resulting from a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves on the fair value of interest rate-sensitive banking book positions. The impact of a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves on the fair value of interest rate-sensitive banking book positions would have been an increase of CHF 4.5 million as of the end of 2Q16, compared to an increase of CHF 3.2 million as of the end of 1Q16.
Credit risk review
All transactions that are exposed to potential losses due to a counterparty failing to meet an obligation are subject to credit risk exposure measurement and management. The majority of our credit risk is concentrated in the private banking, corporate and institutional businesses and in the investment banking businesses.

Loans
Compared to the end of 1Q16, gross loans increased CHF 3.5 billion to CHF 274.8 billion as of the end of 2Q16, mainly driven by higher commercial and industrial loans, higher loans collateralized by securities and higher residential mortgages, partially offset by lower loans to financial institutions and lower loans to the real estate sector. The net increase of CHF 3.6 billion in commercial and industrial loans was driven by International Wealth Management, Asia Pacific, Swiss Universal Bank and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, partially offset by the Strategic Resolution Unit. The net increase of CHF 1.3 billion in loans collateralized by securities was driven by Asia Pacific and International Wealth Management, partially offset by the Strategic Resolution Unit and Investment Banking & Capital Markets. Residential mortgages increased CHF 0.8 billion, primarily in Swiss Universal Bank. Loans to financial institutions decreased CHF 1.7 billion, primarily in Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets, partially offset by International Wealth Management and the Strategic Resolution Unit. Loans to the real estate sector decreased CHF 0.6 billion, primarily in Global Markets. The US dollar translation impact on gross loans was positive across all divisions.
On a divisional level, increases in gross loans of CHF 2.9 billion in International Wealth Management, CHF 2.4 billion in Asia Pacific and CHF 1.7 billion in Swiss Universal Bank were partially offset by decreases of CHF 2.5 billion in Global Markets, CHF 0.6 billion in Investment Banking & Capital Markets and CHF 0.5 billion in the Strategic Resolution Unit.

Impaired loans
Compared to the end of 1Q16, gross impaired loans increased CHF 92 million to CHF 2.3 billion as of the end of 2Q16, mainly reflecting higher non-performing loans, driven by downgrades of potential problem loans and new impairments in the Strategic Resolution Unit and International Wealth Management. These increases in gross impaired loans were partially offset by repayments, upgrades to performing loans and write-offs.
On a divisional level, the increase in gross impaired loans compared to the end of 1Q16 was primarily driven by International Wealth Management, Swiss Universal Bank, the Strategic Resolution Unit and Asia Pacific. In International Wealth Management, gross impaired loans increased CHF 39 million, primarily driven by ship finance exposures in the dry bulk segment and a newly impaired lombard loan. In Swiss Universal Bank, gross impaired loans increased CHF 37 million, primarily driven by private and wealth management clients and small and medium-sized enterprises in Switzerland. In the Strategic Resolution Unit, gross impaired loans increased CHF 13 million, primarily driven by newly impaired ship finance and oil and gas-related exposures. The volume of new impairments in the energy sector slowed as crude oil prices improved significantly in 2Q16. In Asia Pacific, gross impaired loans increased CHF 12 million, including a newly impaired aviation lease exposure.

Selected European credit risk exposures
The scope of our disclosure of European credit risk exposure includes all countries of the EU which are rated below AA or its equivalent by at least one of the three major rating agencies and where our gross exposure exceeds our quantitative threshold of EUR 0.5 billion.
> Refer to “Selected European credit risk exposures” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk review and results in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on selected European credit risk exposures.
Monitoring of selected European credit risk exposures
Our credit risk exposure to these European countries is managed as part of our overall risk management process. The Group makes use of country limits and performs scenario analyses on a regular basis, which include analyses of our indirect sovereign credit risk exposures from our exposures to selected European financial institutions. This assessment of indirect sovereign credit risk exposures includes analysis of publicly available disclosures of counterparties’ exposures to the European countries within the defined scope of our disclosure. We monitor the concentration of collateral underpinning our over-the-counter (OTC) derivative and reverse repurchase agreement exposures through monthly reporting. We also monitor the impact of sovereign rating downgrades on collateral eligibility. Strict limits on sovereign collateral from G7 and non-G7 countries are monitored monthly. Similar disclosure is part of our regular risk reporting to regulators.
Development of selected European credit risk exposures
On a gross basis, before taking into account risk mitigation, our risk-based sovereign credit risk exposure to Cyprus, Croatia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain as of the end of 2Q16 was EUR 3,528 million, 9% lower compared to EUR 3,870 million as of the end of 1Q16. Our net exposure to these sovereigns was EUR 535 million, 46% lower compared to EUR 997 million as of the end of 1Q16. Our non-sovereign risk-based credit risk exposure in these countries as of the end of 2Q16 included net exposure to financial institutions of EUR 2,802 million and to corporates and other counterparties of EUR 1,192 million, 4% lower compared to EUR 2,913 million and 8% higher compared to EUR 1,106 million, respectively, as of the end of 1Q16.
> Refer to “Selected European credit risk exposures” in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk review and results in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the presentation of selected European credit risk exposures.
Sovereign debt rating developments
In 2Q16, the long-term sovereign debt ratings of the countries listed in the table were affected as follows: Moody’s increased Ireland’s rating from Baa1 to A3. The rating changes did not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position, result of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet
Total assets were CHF 821.2 billion, total liabilities were CHF 775.8 billion and total equity was CHF 45.3 billion. Total assets increased 1% and total liabilities increased 1% for the quarter, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by lower operating activities. The majority of our transactions are recorded on our balance sheet, however, we also enter into transactions that give rise to both on and off-balance sheet exposure.
Balance sheet
Total assets were CHF 821.2 billion as of the end of 2Q16, an increase of CHF 7.3 billion, or 1%, from the end of 1Q16, reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by lower operating activities. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets decreased CHF 3.6 billion.
Compared to the end of 1Q16, cash and due from banks increased CHF 19.8 billion, or 21%, mainly driven by higher cash positions at the Fed and the foreign exchange translation impact. Brokerage receivables increased CHF 6.6 billion, or 19%, mainly driven by an increase in failed settlements and the foreign exchange translation impact. Net loans increased CHF 3.6 billion, or 1%, mainly driven by higher commercial and industrial loans, higher loans collateralized by securities, higher residential mortgages and the foreign exchange translation impact, partially offset by lower loans to financial institutions and lower loans in the real estate sector. Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions decreased CHF 14.1 billion, or 10%, mainly driven by a decrease in reverse repurchase transactions with customers, a decrease in cash collateral on stock borrowing to customers and banks, partially offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. Trading assets decreased CHF 9.9 billion, or 5%, mainly due to lower debt and equity securities, partially offset by the foreign exchange translation impact. All other assets increased CHF 1.3 billion, or 1%, mainly reflecting an increase in other assets related to cash collateral on derivative instruments and the foreign exchange translation impact.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
to the Board of Directors of
Credit Suisse Group AG, Zurich
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse Group AG and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 24, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015.
> Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a description of the Group’s significant accounting policies.
Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The 1Q16 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, the 1Q16 consolidated balance sheets and the 2Q16, 1Q16 and 2Q15 consolidated statements of changes in equity have been added for convenience of the reader and are not a required presentation under US GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results for the entire year.
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2 Recently issued accounting standards
Recently adopted accounting standards
The following provides the most relevant recently adopted accounting standards.
> Refer to “Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a description of accounting standards adopted in 2015.
ASC Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (ASU 2014-12), an update to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 on January 1, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 810 – Consolidation
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (ASU 2015-02), an update to ASC Topic 810 – Consolidation. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 rescind the indefinite deferral for certain investment funds, which is included in ASU 2010-10, Consolidation (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments for Certain Investment Funds”. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 also require a re-evaluation as to whether certain legal entities require consolidation under the revised consolidation model, specifically as it relates to whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, the elimination of the presumption that a general partner controls a partnership, and the consolidation analysis of VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-13, “Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity” (ASU 2014-13), an update to ASC Topic 810 – Consolidation. ASU 2014-13 applies to reporting entities that are required to consolidate a collateralized financing entity (CFE) under the VIE guidance. These entities may elect to measure the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CFE at fair value using either ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements or an alternative provided in ASU 2014-13. When using the measurement alternative provided in this update, the reporting entity should measure both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CFE, using the most observable of (i) the fair value of the financial assets and (ii) the fair value of the financial liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2014-13 on January 1, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, “Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity” (ASU 2014-16), an update to ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments in ASU 2014-16 clarify that for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share, an entity (an issuer or an investor) should determine the nature of the host contract by
95
considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument, weighing each term and feature on the basis of relevant facts and circumstances. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 on January 1, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)” (ASU 2015-07), an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (NAV) per share practical expedient and change the scope of certain disclosure requirements to those investments for which an entity has elected using that practical expedient. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 on January 1, 2016 resulted in modified disclosures but did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 825 – Financial Instruments – Overall
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), an update to ASC Topic 825 – Financial Instruments – Overall. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption of the full standard is not permitted, however, certain sections of ASU 2016-01 relating to fair value option-elected financial liabilities can be early adopted in isolation. These amendments to ASU 2016-01 require the changes in fair value relating to instrument-specific credit risk of fair value option elected financial liabilities to be presented separately in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Group has early adopted these sections of the update on January 1, 2016. As a result of adoption, a reclassification of a gain from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income of CHF 475 million, net of tax, was recorded. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the remaining sections of ASU 2016-01 on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 835 – Interest
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (ASU 2015-03), an update to ASC Subtopic 835-30, “Interest – Imputation of Interest”. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 resulted in a reduction to both total assets and total liabilities of CHF 541 million, however, retrospective application was deemed immaterial and, as such, prior periods were not restated.
Standards to be adopted in future periods
ASC Topic 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (ASU 2014-15), an update to ASC Topic 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 provide guidance in US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are expected to reduce diversity in the timing and content of such disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. As these amendments relate only to disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have no impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), an update to ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis (including, but not limited to loans), net investments in leases recognized as lessor and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Group will now incorporate forward-looking information into its credit loss estimates. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users to better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. As the Group is an SEC filer, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early application will be permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09), an update to ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
96
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU outlines key steps that an entity should follow to achieve the core principle. ASU 2014-19, as amended by ASU 2015-14 “Deferral of the Effective Date”, ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, ASU 2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU 2016-11 “Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” and ASU 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, is effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its amendments on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (ASU 2016-09), an update to ASC Topic 718 – Compensation—Stock Compensation. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 provide simplification updates for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASC Topic 842 – Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02), creating ASC Topic 842 – Leases. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to present a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged compared to the current accounting guidance. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
3 Business developments
Implementation of our strategy
As announced on March 23, 2016, we have implemented additional measures and adjusted financial objectives beyond those announced on October 21, 2015 to further lower our cost base, accelerate the risk-weighted assets and leverage reduction initiatives in the restructuring of our Global Markets business and further strengthen our capital position.
The additional measures included exiting the distressed credit, European securitized products trading and long-term illiquid financing businesses and making other business reductions. The assets from these impacted businesses were transferred to the Strategic Resolution Unit in 2Q16.
As also announced, in 2Q16 the Group consolidated its foreign exchange sales and trading business from Global Markets into its trading operations within Swiss Universal Bank. The results of the sales and trading business continue to be split between Swiss Universal Bank and International Wealth Management.
A portion of the corporate loan portfolio managed by the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions was also transferred to the Strategic Resolution Unit in 2Q16. These transfers related to client lending relationship exits and exposure types that we do not consider consistent with the announced strategy.
In 2Q16, we also transferred from Global Markets to the Corporate Center a portfolio of positions containing tax risk to the Group that is managed by the Group’s corporate tax function.
As a result of the above strategic actions, prior period segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net income/(loss) or the total shareholders’ equity of the Group.
Funding and cost allocations
In the ongoing process of implementing the Group’s strategy across our six business divisions, in 2Q16 the Group retroactively recalibrated, with effect as of the beginning of 1Q16, its methodology to allocate funding costs across the Group to incorporate net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirements.
Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, human resources, legal, compliance, risk management and IT are provided by corporate functions, and the related costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures. In the ongoing process of implementing the Group’s strategy across our six business divisions, in 2Q16, the Group recalibrated its methodology for the allocation of these corporate function costs to the operating expenses of the divisions, including a retroactive adjustment for 1Q16 in 2Q16.

Weighted-average potential common shares relating to instruments that were not dilutive for the respective periods (and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation above) but could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future were 12.0 million, 7.5 million, 7.2 million, 9.8 million and 8.2 million for 2Q16, 1Q16, 2Q15, 6M16 and 6M15, respectively.

Due to the net losses in 1Q16 and 6M16, 2.3 million and 3.0 million, respectively, of weighted-average share options and warrants outstanding and 53.7 million and 48.4 million, respectively, of weighted-average share awards outstanding were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the effect would be antidilutive.

In accordance with US GAAP, the Group continually assesses whether or not there has been a triggering event requiring a review of goodwill. As of June 30, 2016, the Group’s market capitalization was below book value.
On March 23, 2016, the Group announced a number of strategy measures affecting its Global Markets and Strategic Resolution Unit segments, including business exits and other business reductions in Global Markets. During 2Q16, these strategy measures were implemented together with additional actions that also impacted the Group’s other business segments. The Group determined that these changes constituted triggering events. The Group’s reporting units were not changed as a result of this announcement and remain defined as follows: Swiss Universal Bank – Private Banking, Swiss Universal Bank – Corporate & Institutional Banking, International Wealth Management – Private Banking, International Wealth Management – Asset Management, Asia Pacific – Private Banking, Asia Pacific – Investment Banking, Global Markets, Investment Banking & Capital Markets and the Strategic Resolution Unit.
The carrying value of each reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment test is determined by considering the reporting units’ risk-weighted assets usage, leverage ratio exposure, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Any residual equity, after considering the total of these elements, is allocated to the reporting units on a pro-rata basis.
In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, the Group applied a combination of the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, consideration was given to price to projected earnings multiples or price to book value multiples for similarly traded companies and prices paid in recent transactions that have occurred in its industry or in related industries. Under the income approach, a discount rate was applied that reflects the risk and uncertainty related to the reporting unit’s projected cash flows, which are determined from the Group’s financial plan.
In determining the estimated fair value, the Group relied upon its updated five-year strategic business plan which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on its view of current and future economic conditions and regulatory changes.
Goodwill is tested for impairment before and immediately after a reorganization or restructuring of reporting units. As a result, the goodwill impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2016 under the old business structure and then again under the modified structure according to the announcement on March 23, 2016. The goodwill impairment analysis performed as of June 30, 2016 considered the impact from the additional actions in 2Q16 and the
111
Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of its reporting units with goodwill substantially exceeded their related carrying values and that no impairment was necessary.
The Group engaged the services of an independent valuation specialist to assist in the valuation of the Global Markets reporting unit as of March 31, 2016. The valuations were also performed using a combination of the market approach and income approach.
The results of the impairment evaluation of each reporting unit’s goodwill would be significantly impacted by adverse changes in the underlying parameters used in the valuation process. If actual outcomes adversely differ by a significant margin from its best estimates of the key economic assumptions and associated cash flows applied in the valuation of the reporting unit, the Group could potentially incur material impairment charges in the future.

22 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
The disclosures set out in the tables below include derivatives, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions that:
– are offset in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets; or
– are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement (enforceable master netting agreements), irrespective of whether they are offset in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.
Similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements.
Derivatives
The Group transacts bilateral OTC derivatives mainly under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements and Swiss Master Agreements for OTC derivative instruments. These agreements provide for the net settlement of all transactions under the agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination under the agreement. They allow the Group to offset balances from derivative assets and liabilities as well as the receivables and payables to related cash collateral transacted with the same counterparty. Collateral for OTC derivatives is received and provided in the form of cash and marketable securities. Such collateral may be subject to the standard industry terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex. The terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex provide that securities received or provided as collateral may be pledged or sold during the term of the transactions and must be returned upon maturity of the transaction. These terms also give each counterparty the right to terminate the related transactions upon the other counterparty’s failure to post collateral. Financial collateral received or pledged for OTC derivatives may also be subject to collateral agreements which restrict the use of financial collateral.
For derivatives transacted with exchanges (exchange-traded derivatives) and central clearing counterparties (OTC-cleared derivatives), positive and negative replacement values (NRV) and related cash collateral may be offset if the terms of the rules and regulations governing these exchanges and central clearing counterparties permit such netting and offset.
Where no such agreements exist, fair values are recorded on a gross basis.
Exchange-traded derivatives or OTC-cleared derivatives, that are fully margined and for which the daily margin payments constitute settlement of the outstanding exposure, are not included in the offsetting disclosures because they are not subject to offsetting due to the daily settlement. The daily margin payments, which are not settled until the next settlement cycle is conducted, are presented in brokerage receivables or brokerage payables. The notional amount for these daily settled derivatives is included in the fair value of derivative instruments table in “Note 26 – Derivatives and hedging activities”.
Under US GAAP, the Group elected to account for substantially all financial instruments with an embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract at fair value. There is an exception for certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value. However, these bifurcated embedded derivatives are generally not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and are not recorded as derivative instruments under trading assets and trading liabilities or other assets and other liabilities. Information on bifurcated embedded derivatives has therefore not been included in the offsetting disclosures.

The following table presents the gross amount of derivatives subject to enforceable master netting agreements by contract and transaction type, the amount of offsetting, the amount of derivatives not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions
Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are generally covered by global master repurchase agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreements are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under such agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they are with the same counterparty, have the same maturity date, settle through the same clearing institution and are subject to the same master netting agreement. The amounts offset are measured on the same basis as the underlying transaction (i.e., on an accrual basis or fair value basis).
Securities lending and borrowing transactions are generally executed under global master securities lending agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreement are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under these agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they meet the same right of offset criteria as for reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements. In general, most securities lending and borrowing transactions do not meet the criterion of having the same settlement date specified at inception of the transaction, and therefore they are not eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets. However, securities lending and borrowing transactions with explicit maturity dates may be eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets.
Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are collateralized principally by government securities, money market instruments and corporate bonds and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time. In the event of counterparty default, the reverse repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. As is the case in the Group’s normal course of business, substantially all of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged was sold or repledged as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In certain circumstances, financial collateral received may be restricted during the term of the agreement (e.g., in tri-party arrangements).
The following table presents the gross amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements, the amount of offsetting, the amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

The total amount reported in financial instruments (recognized financial assets and financial liabilities and non-cash financial collateral) and cash collateral is limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the consolidated balance sheets and therefore any over-collateralization of these positions is not included.
Net exposure is subject to further credit mitigation through the transfer of the exposure to other market counterparties by the use of credit default swaps (CDS) and credit insurance contracts. Therefore, the net exposure presented in the table above is not representative of the Group’s counterparty exposure.

23 Tax
The income tax expense of CHF 21 million recorded in 2Q16 mainly reflected the impact of the geographical mix of results.
The quarterly income tax expense includes the impact of the continuous reassessment of the estimated annual effective tax rate as well as the impact of items that need to be recorded in the specific interim period in which they occur.
Net deferred tax assets related to net operating losses, net deferred tax assets on temporary differences and net deferred tax liabilities are presented in the following manner. Nettable gross deferred tax liabilities are allocated on a pro-rata basis to gross deferred tax assets on net operating losses and gross deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This approach is aligned with the underlying treatment of netting gross deferred tax assets and liabilities under the Basel III framework. Valuation allowances have been allocated against such deferred tax assets on net operating losses first with any remainder allocated to such deferred tax assets on temporary differences. This presentation is considered the most appropriate disclosure given the underlying nature of the gross deferred tax balances.
As of June 30, 2016, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 4.7 billion which are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Group would need to accrue and pay taxes on these undistributed earnings if such earnings were repatriated. No deferred tax liability was recorded in respect of those amounts as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.
The Group is currently subject to ongoing tax audits, inquiries and litigation with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including Brazil, the Netherlands, the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of completion is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease between zero and CHF 7 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.
The Group remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Japan – 2012; Switzerland – 2011; Brazil – 2010; the US – 2010; the UK – 2009; and the Netherlands – 2005.

Disclosures relating to contingent credit risk
Certain of the Group’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require it to maintain a specified credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the ratings fall below the level specified in the contract, the counterparties to the agreements could request payment of additional collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. Certain of the derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Group or the counterparty, at the existing mark-to-market replacement value of the derivative contract.
The following table provides the Group’s current net exposure from contingent credit risk relating to derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and SPEs that include credit support agreements, the related collateral posted and the additional collateral required in a one-notch, two-notch and a three-notch downgrade event, respectively. The table also includes derivative contracts with contingent credit risk features without credit support agreements that have accelerated termination event conditions. The current net exposure for derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and contracts with accelerated termination event conditions is the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that were in a net liability position. For SPEs, the current net exposure is the contractual amount that is used to determine the collateral payable in the event of a downgrade. The contractual amount could include both the NRV and a percentage of the notional value of the derivative.

Credit protection sold/purchased
The following tables do not include all credit derivatives and differ from the credit derivatives in the “Fair value of derivative instruments” tables. This is due to the exclusion of certain credit derivative instruments under US GAAP, which defines a credit derivative as a derivative instrument (a) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (b) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract.
Certain cash collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and other derivative instruments were excluded as they do not fall within the scope of US GAAP rules. Total return swaps (TRS) of CHF 8.8 billion and CHF 7.8 billion as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15, respectively, were also excluded because a TRS does not expose the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. A TRS only provides protection against a loss in asset value and not against additional amounts as a result of specific credit events.

Credit protection sold
Credit protection sold is the maximum potential payout, which is based on the notional value of derivatives and represents the amount of future payments that the Group would be required to make as a result of credit risk-related events.
Credit protection purchased
Credit protection purchased represents those instruments where the underlying reference instrument is identical to the reference instrument of the credit protection sold.
Other protection purchased
In the normal course of business, the Group purchases protection to offset the risk of credit protection sold that may have similar, but not identical, reference instruments and may use similar, but not identical, products, which reduces the total credit derivative exposure. Other protection purchased is based on the notional value of the instruments.
Fair value of credit protection sold
The fair values of the credit protection sold give an indication of the amount of payment risk, as the negative fair values increase when the potential payment under the derivative contracts becomes more probable.
The following table reconciles the notional amount of credit derivatives included in the table “Fair value of derivative instruments” to the table “Credit protection sold/purchased”.

27 Guarantees and commitments
Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, guarantees are provided that contingently obligate Credit Suisse to make payments to third parties if the counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement. The total gross amount disclosed within the Guarantees table reflects the maximum potential payment under the guarantees. The carrying value represents the higher of the initial fair value (generally the related fee received or receivable) less cumulative amortization and the Group’s current best estimate of payments that will be required under existing guarantee arrangements.
Guarantees provided by the Group are classified as follows: credit guarantees and similar instruments, performance guarantees and similar instruments, derivatives and other guarantees. The Group no longer provides guarantees for securities lending indemnifications.
> Refer to “Guarantees” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a detailed description of guarantees.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guarantee an amount of up to CHF 6 billion. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by FINMA or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA’s estimate for the Group’s banking subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Group’s share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 is CHF 0.6 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees. For the period July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the Group’s share in this deposit insurance guarantee program based on FINMA’s estimate will be unchanged at CHF 0.6 billion.
Representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold
In connection with the former Investment Banking division’s sale of US residential mortgage loans, the Group has provided certain representations and warranties relating to the loans sold. The Group has provided these representations and warranties relating to sales of loans to: the US government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; institutional investors, primarily banks; and non-agency, or private label, securitizations. The loans sold are primarily loans that the Group has purchased from other parties. The scope of representations and warranties, if any, depends on the transaction, but can include: ownership of the mortgage loans and legal capacity to sell the loans; loan-to-value ratios and other characteristics of the property, the borrower and the loan; validity of the liens securing the loans and absence of delinquent taxes or related liens; conformity to underwriting standards and completeness of documentation; and origination in compliance with law. If it is determined that representations and warranties were breached, the Group may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether the Group will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent to which claims are made; the validity of such claims made within the statute of limitations (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether the Group can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to the Group and made representations and warranties to the Group; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.
During the first six months of 2016, the Group received repurchase claims for residential mortgage loans that were not significant, and loans repurchased during this period and related losses were not significant. The balance of outstanding repurchase claims as of the end of 2Q16 was not significant.
Repurchase claims on residential mortgage loans sold that are subject to arbitration or litigation proceedings, or become so during the reporting period, are not included in this Guarantees and commitments disclosure but are addressed in litigation and related loss contingencies and provisions. The Group is involved in litigation relating to representations and warranties on residential mortgages sold.
> Refer to “Note 31 – Litigation” for further information.
128
Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications
The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees include disposal-related contingencies in connection with the sale of assets or businesses, and other indemnifications. These guarantees are not reflected in the “Guarantees” table.
> Refer to “Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a description of these guarantees.
Other commitments
Other commitments of the Group are classified as follows: irrevocable commitments under documentary credits, irrevocable loan commitments, forward reverse repurchase agreements and other commitments.
> Refer to “Other commitments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 33 – Guarantees and commitments in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a description of these commitments.

28 Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities
In the normal course of business, the Group enters into transactions with, and makes use of, special purpose entities (SPEs). An SPE is an entity in the form of a trust or other legal structure designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it and is generally structured to isolate the SPE’s assets from creditors of other entities, including the Group. The principal uses of SPEs are to assist the Group and its clients in securitizing financial assets and creating investment products. The Group also uses SPEs for other client-driven activity, such as to facilitate financings, and Group tax or regulatory purposes.
Transfers of financial assets
Securitizations
The majority of the Group’s securitization activities involve mortgages and mortgage-related securities and are predominantly transacted using SPEs. In a typical securitization, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE’s issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial paper (CP) and other notes of indebtedness. These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and not reflected on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, unless either the Group sold the assets to the entity and the accounting requirements for sale were not met or the Group consolidates the SPE.
The Group purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization and sells these mortgage loans to SPEs. These SPEs issue CMBS, RMBS and asset-backed securities (ABS) that are collateralized by the assets transferred to the SPE and that pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities or ABS typically have recourse to the assets in the SPEs, unless a third-party guarantee has been received to further enhance the creditworthiness of the assets. The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is typically an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.
The Group also transacts in re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities. Typically, certificates issued out of an existing securitization vehicle are sold into a newly created and separate securitization vehicle. Often, these re-securitizations are initiated in order to repackage an existing security to give the investor a higher rated tranche.
The Group also uses SPEs for other asset-backed financings relating to client-driven activity and for Group tax or regulatory purposes. Types of structures included in this category include managed CLOs, CLOs, leveraged finance, repack and other types of transactions, including life insurance structures, emerging market structures set up for financing, loan participation or loan origination purposes, and other alternative structures created for the purpose of investing in venture capital-like investments. CLOs are collateralized by loans transferred to the CLO vehicle and pay a return based on the returns on the loans. Leveraged finance structures are used to assist in the syndication of certain loans held by the Group, while repack structures are designed to give a client collateralized exposure to specific cash flows or credit risk backed by collateral purchased from the Group. In these asset-backed
129
financing structures investors typically only have recourse to the collateral of the SPE and do not have recourse to the Group’s assets.
When the Group transfers assets into an SPE, it must assess whether that transfer is accounted for as a sale of the assets. Transfers of assets may not meet sale requirements if the assets have not been legally isolated from the Group and/or if the Group’s continuing involvement is deemed to give it effective control over the assets. If the transfer is not deemed a sale, it is instead accounted for as a secured borrowing, with the transferred assets as collateral.
Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend, in part, on the carrying values of mortgages and loans involved in the transfer and are allocated between the assets sold and any beneficial interests retained according to the relative fair values at the date of sale.
The Group does not retain material servicing responsibilities from securitization activities.
The following table provides the gains or losses and proceeds from the transfer of assets relating to 6M16 and 6M15 securitizations of financial assets that qualify for sale accounting and subsequent derecognition, along with the cash flows between the Group and the SPEs used in any securitizations in which the Group still has continuing involvement, regardless of when the securitization occurred.

Continuing involvement in transferred financial assets
The Group may have continuing involvement in the financial assets that are transferred to an SPE which may take several forms, including, but not limited to, servicing, recourse and guarantee arrangements, agreements to purchase or redeem transferred assets, derivative instruments, pledges of collateral and beneficial interests in the transferred assets.
> Refer to “Transfer of financial assets” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 34 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a detailed description of continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.
The following table provides the outstanding principal balance of assets to which the Group continued to be exposed after the transfer of the financial assets to any SPE and the total assets of the SPE as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15, regardless of when the transfer of assets occurred.

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

Prepayment speed assumption (PSA) is an industry standard prepayment speed metric used for projecting prepayments over the life of a residential mortgage loan. PSA utilizes the constant prepayment rate (CPR) assumptions. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes a prepayment rate of 0.2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans in the first month. This increases by 0.2 percentage points thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan, leveling off to a CPR of 6% per annum beginning in the 30th month and each month thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan. 100 PSA equals 6 CPR.
2
To deter prepayment, commercial mortgage loans typically have prepayment protection in the form of prepayment lockouts and yield maintenances.

The rate was based on the weighted-average yield on the beneficial interests.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and do not reflect economic hedging activities. Changes in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the beneficial interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In practice, changes in one assumption may result in changes in other assumptions (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Transfers of financial assets accounted for as a sale
US GAAP requires the disclosure of a transaction accounted for as a sale that comprises both of the following: a transfer of financial assets to a transferee and an agreement entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer with the transferee that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. In the ordinary course of business, the Group transfers a financial asset accounted for as a sale and, in some instances, enters into an agreement in contemplation of that initial transfer with the same counterparty to retain substantially all of the economics of that transferred financial asset. As of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15, the Group had agreements in the form of TRS on equity securities and longevity swaps on life insurance policies.
The following table presents information about the transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales with agreements that result in the Group retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred assets at the date of sale and remain outstanding as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15, respectively, gross cash proceeds received for assets derecognized at the date of sale and the fair values of transferred assets and the aforementioned agreements as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings
For securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, US GAAP requires the disclosure of the collateral pledged and the associated risks to which a transferor continues to be exposed after the transfer. This provides an understanding of the nature and risks of short-term collateralized financing obtained through these types of transactions.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions represent collateralized financing transactions used to earn net interest income, increase liquidity or facilitate trading activities. These transactions are collateralized principally by government debt securities, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, equity securities and other collateral and have terms ranging from on demand to a longer period of time.
In the event of the Group’s default or a decline in fair value of collateral pledged, the repurchase agreement or security lending transaction provides the counterparty with the right to liquidate the collateral held or request additional collateral.
The following tables provide the gross obligation relating to securities sold under repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and obligation to return securities received as collateral by the class of collateral pledged and by remaining contractual maturity as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15.

Variable interest entities
As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in various transactions that include entities that are considered VIEs and are grouped into three primary categories: CDO/CLOs, CP conduits and financial intermediation.
> Refer to “Variable interest entities” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 34 – Transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for a detailed description of VIEs, CDOs, CP conduit or financial intermediation.
Collateralized debt obligations
The Group engages in CDO/CLO transactions to meet client and investor needs, earn fees and sell financial assets. The Group may act as underwriter, placement agent or asset manager and may warehouse assets prior to the closing of a transaction.
Commercial paper conduit
In 4Q15, the Group decided to stop issuing CP from an existing asset-backed CP conduit, Alpine Securitization Corp. (old Alpine), and all outstanding CP was fully repaid as of the end of 4Q15. As of the end of 2Q16, old Alpine did not have any third-party assets.
In 2Q16, the Group established Alpine Securitization Ltd (Alpine), a multi-seller asset-backed CP conduit used for client and Group financing purposes. The Group acts as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for Alpine. Alpine discloses to CP investors certain portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to rating agencies for public ratings. This CP conduit purchases assets such as loans and receivables or enters into reverse repurchase agreements and finances such activities through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. The CP conduit can enter into liquidity facilities with third-party entities pursuant to which it may purchase assets from these entities to provide them with liquidity and credit support. The financing transactions are structured to provide credit support to the CP conduit in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Alpine is a separate legal entity that is wholly owned by the Group. However, its assets are available to satisfy only the claims of its creditors. In addition, the Group, as administrator and liquidity facility provider, has significant exposure to and power over the activities of Alpine. Alpine is considered a VIE for accounting purposes and the Group is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates this entity.
As of the end of 2Q16, Alpine did not have any CP outstanding, was rated A-1(sf) by Standard & Poor’s and P-1(sf) by Moody’s and had exposures in servicer advance receivables and credit card receivables.
The Group’s commitment to this CP conduit consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to purchase assets from the CP conduit in certain circumstances, including a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduit cannot refinance its obligations or, in some cases, a default of an underlying asset. The asset-specific credit enhancements provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.
The Group’s economic risks associated with the CP conduit are included in the Group’s risk management framework including counterparty, economic risk capital and scenario analysis.
Financial intermediation
The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients.
Financial intermediation consists of securitizations, funds, loans and other vehicles.
Consolidated VIEs
The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. The Group consolidates all VIEs related to financial intermediation for which it was the primary beneficiary.
The consolidated VIEs tables provide the carrying amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of the end of 2Q16 and 4Q15.

– Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value.
Concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or when there are similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.
> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the Group’s concentrations of credit risk.
Fair value measurement

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that have been classified within level 3. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within level 3 presented in the table above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
The Group employs various economic hedging techniques in order to manage risks, including risks in level 3 positions. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified in levels 1 and/or 2. The realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities in level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains and losses arising on economic hedging instruments classified in levels 1 and/or 2.
Transfers in and out of level 3
Transfers into level 3 assets during 6M16 were CHF 2,874 million, primarily from trading assets and loans. The transfers were primarily in the corporate credit and emerging markets businesses due to limited observability of pricing data and reduced pricing information from external providers. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 6M16 were CHF 3,147 million, primarily in trading assets and loans held-for-sale. The transfers out of level 3 assets were primarily in the corporate credit, emerging markets and prime services businesses due to increased availability of pricing information.
Transfers into level 3 assets during 2Q16 were CHF 1,484 million, primarily from trading assets. The transfers were primarily in the corporate credit and emerging markets businesses due to limited observability of pricing data and reduced pricing information from external providers. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 2Q16 were CHF 1,289 million, primarily in trading assets. The transfers out of level 3 assets were primarily in the global credit, emerging markets and prime services businesses due to increased availability of pricing information.
Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques
Overview
The Group has implemented and maintains a valuation control framework, which is supported by policies and procedures that define the principles for controlling the valuation of the Group’s financial instruments.
> Refer to “Note 35 – Financial instruments” in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 for further information on the Group’s valuation control framework.
The following information on the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the various financial instruments, and the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in significant unobservable inputs, should be read in conjunction with the tables “Quantitative information about level 3 assets at fair value” and “Quantitative information about level 3 liabilities at fair value”.
Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions
Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are measured at fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flows are discounted using observable market interest rate repurchase/resale curves for the applicable maturity and underlying collateral of the instruments. As such, the significant majority of both securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Structured resale and repurchase agreements include embedded derivatives, which are measured using the same techniques as described below for stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships. If the value of the embedded derivative is determined using significant unobservable inputs, those structured resale and repurchase agreements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable input is funding spread.
Securities purchased under resale agreements are usually fully collateralized or over collateralized by government securities, money market instruments, corporate bonds, or other debt instruments. In the event of counterparty default, the collateral service agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held.
Debt securities
Foreign governments and corporates
Government debt securities typically have quoted prices in active markets and are categorized as level 1 instruments. For debt securities for which market prices are not available, valuations are
146
based on yields reflecting credit rating, historical performance, delinquencies, loss severity, the maturity of the security, recent transactions in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment. Those securities where the price or model inputs are observable in the market are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those securities where prices are not observable and significant model inputs are unobservable are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Corporate bonds are priced to reflect current market levels either through recent market transactions or broker or dealer quotes. Where a market price for the particular security is not directly available, valuations are obtained based on yields reflected by other instruments in the specific or similar entity’s capital structure and adjusting for differences in seniority and maturity, benchmarking to a comparable security where market data is available (taking into consideration differences in credit, liquidity and maturity), or through the application of cash flow modeling techniques utilizing observable inputs, such as current interest rate curves and observable CDS spreads. Significant unobservable inputs may include price and correlation. For securities using market comparable price, the differentiation between level 2 and level 3 is based upon the relative significance of any yield adjustments as well as the accuracy of the comparison characteristics (i.e., the observable comparable security may be in the same country but a different industry and may have a different seniority level – the lower the comparability the more likely the security will be level 3).
CMBS, RMBS and CDO securities
Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO may be available through quoted prices, which are often based on the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and to and from customers. Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO for which there are significant unobservable inputs are valued using capitalization rate and discount rate. Price may not be observable for fair value measurement purposes for many reasons, such as the length of time since the last executed transaction for the related security, use of a price from a similar instrument, or use of a price from an indicative quote. Fair values determined by market comparable price may include discounted cash flow models using the inputs prepayment rate, default rate, loss severity, discount rate and credit spread. Prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness.
For most structured debt securities, determination of fair value requires subjective assessment depending on liquidity, ownership concentration, and the current economic and competitive environment. Valuation is determined based on the Front Office’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset. Collateralized bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Valuation models are used to value both cash and synthetic CDOs.
Equity securities
The majority of the Group’s positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available and are therefore categorized as level 1 instruments. Level 2 and level 3 equities include fund-linked products, convertible bonds or equity securities with restrictions that are not traded in active markets. Significant unobservable inputs may include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple.
Derivatives
Derivatives held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives measured using observable exchange prices are included in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For exchange-traded derivatives where the volume of trading is low, the observable exchange prices may not be considered executable at the reporting date. These derivatives are valued in the same manner as similar observable OTC derivatives and are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If the similar OTC derivative used for valuing the exchange-traded derivative is not observable, the exchange-traded derivative is included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models. Both model types use various observable and unobservable inputs in order to determine fair value. The inputs include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument. The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required inputs are observable in the marketplace, while more complex derivatives may use unobservable inputs that rely on specific proprietary modeling assumptions. Where observable inputs (prices from exchanges, dealers, brokers or market consensus data providers) are not available, attempts are made to infer values from observable prices through model calibration (spot and forward rates, mean reversion, benchmark interest rate curves and volatility inputs for commonly traded option products). For inputs that cannot be derived from other sources, estimates from historical data may be made. OTC derivatives where the majority of the value is derived from market observable inputs are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those where the majority of the value is derived from unobservable inputs are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivatives includes an adjustment for the cost of funding uncollateralized OTC derivatives.
Interest rate derivatives
OTC vanilla interest rate products, such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, and caps and floors are valued by discounting the anticipated future cash flows. The future cash flows and discounting are derived from market standard yield curves and industry standard volatility inputs. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used to value exchange-traded futures and options
147
and can be used in yield curve construction. For more complex products, inputs include, but are not limited to correlation, volatility skew, prepayment rate, basis spread, gap risk and funding spread.
Foreign exchange derivatives
Foreign exchange derivatives include vanilla products such as spot, forward and option contracts where the anticipated discounted future cash flows are determined from foreign exchange forward curves and industry standard optionality modeling techniques. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used for futures and option prices. For more complex products inputs include, but are not limited to prepayment rate and correlation.
Equity and index-related derivatives
Equity derivatives include a variety of products ranging from vanilla options and swaps to exotic structures with bespoke payoff profiles. The main inputs in the valuation of equity derivatives may include volatility, buyback probability, gap risk and correlation.
Generally, the interrelationship between the volatility and correlation is positively correlated.
Credit derivatives
Credit derivatives include index and single name CDS in addition to more complex structured credit products. Vanilla products are valued using industry standard models and inputs that are generally market observable including credit spread and recovery rate.
Complex structured credit derivatives are valued using proprietary models requiring unobservable inputs such as recovery rate, credit spread and correlation. These inputs are generally implied from available market observable data. Fair values determined by price may include discounted cash flow models using the inputs prepayment rate, default rate, loss severity and discount rate.
Other trading assets
Other trading assets primarily include RMBS loans and life settlement and premium finance instruments. Life settlement and premium finance instruments are valued using proprietary models with several inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of the fair value for life settlement and premium finance instruments is the estimate of market implied life expectancy, while for RMBS loans it is market comparable price.
For life settlement and premium finance instruments, individual life expectancy rates are typically obtained by multiplying a base mortality curve for the general insured population provided by a professional actuarial organization together with an individual-specific multiplier. Individual-specific multipliers are determined based on data from third-party life expectancy data providers, which examine the insured individual’s medical conditions, family history and other factors to arrive at a life expectancy estimate.
For RMBS loans, the use of market comparable price varies depending upon each specific loan. For some loans, similar to unobservable RMBS securities, prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness. For other RMBS loans, the loans are categorized by specific characteristics, such as loan-to-value ratio, average account balance, loan type (single or multi-family), lien, seasoning, coupon, FICO score, locality, delinquency status, cash flow velocity, roll rates, loan purpose, occupancy, servicers advance agreement type, modification status, Federal Housing Administration insurance, property value and documentation quality. Loans with unobservable prices are put into consistent buckets which are then compared to market observable comparable prices in order to assess the reasonableness of those unobservable prices.
Other investments
Private equity, hedge funds and other equity investments
Other equity investments principally includes equity investments in the form of a) direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds, b) equity-method investments where the Group has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee, and c) direct investments in non-marketable equity securities.
Direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds are measured at fair value based on their published NAVs as permitted by ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. In some cases, NAVs may be adjusted where there is sufficient evidence that the NAV published by the investment manager is not in line with the fund’s observable market data, it is probable that the investment will be sold for an amount other than NAV or there exist other circumstances that would require an adjustment to the published NAV. Although rarely adjusted, significant judgment is involved in making any adjustments to the published NAVs. The investments for which the fair value is measured using the net asset value practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.
Direct investments in non-marketable equity securities consist of both real estate investments and non-real estate investments. Equity-method investments and direct investments in non-marketable equity securities are initially measured at their transaction price, as this is the best estimate of fair value. Thereafter, these investments are individually measured at fair value based upon a number of factors that include any recent rounds of financing involving third-party investors, comparable company transactions, multiple analyses of cash flows or book values, or discounted cash flow analyses. The availability of information used in these modeling techniques is often limited and involves significant judgment in evaluating these different factors over time. As a result, these investments are included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Life finance instruments
Life finance instruments include Single Premium Immediate Annuities (SPIA) and other premium finance instruments. Life finance instruments are valued in a similar manner as described for life settlement and premium finance instruments under the other trading assets section above.
148
Loans
The Group’s loan portfolio which is measured at fair value primarily consists of commercial and industrial loans and loans to financial institutions. Within these categories, loans measured at fair value include commercial loans, real estate loans, corporate loans, leverage finance loans and emerging market loans. Fair value is based on recent transactions and quoted prices, where available. Where recent transactions and quoted prices are not available, fair value may be determined by relative value benchmarking (which includes pricing based upon another position in the same capital structure, other comparable loan issues, generic industry credit spreads, implied credit spreads derived from CDS for the specific borrower, and enterprise valuations) or calculated based on the exit price of the collateral, based on current market conditions.
Both the funded and unfunded portion of revolving credit lines on the corporate lending portfolio are valued using a loan pricing model, which requires estimates of significant inputs including credit spreads, recovery rates, credit conversion factors, and weighted average life of the loan. Significant unobservable inputs may include credit spread and price.
The Group’s other assets and liabilities include mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities and assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The fair value of mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities is determined on a whole-loan basis and is consistent with the valuation of RMBS loans discussed in “Other trading assets” above. Whole-loan valuations are calculated based on the exit price reflecting the current market conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP are determined based on the quoted prices for securitized bonds, where available, or on cash flow analyses for securitized bonds, when quoted prices are not available. The fair value of the consolidated financial assets of RMBS and CMBS securitization vehicles, which qualify as collateralized financing entities, are measured on the basis of the more observable fair value of the VIEs financial liabilities.
Accrual based loans in the Group’s private, corporate and institutional banking businesses, for which an estimated fair value is disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below, include consumer loans relating to mortgages, loans collateralized by securities or consumer finance, as well as corporate and institutional loans relating to real estate, commercial and industrial loans, and loans to financial institutions, governments and public institutions. Fair values for these loans are determined by using a discounted cash flow model. Future cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates which are derived from observable market interest rates for the applicable maturity and currency and from counterparty-related credit spreads.
Deposits
Accrual based deposits with a stated maturity, for which an estimated fair value is disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below, are generally fair valued by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group’s credit spreads. The estimated fair value of accrual accounted deposits without a stated maturity approximates the carrying amount; however, the value does not include an estimate of the value attributed to the long-term relationships with its customers that in the aggregate adds significant value to the Group’s stable deposit base.
Short-term borrowings and long-term debt
The Group’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt include structured notes (hybrid financial instruments that are both bifurcatable and non-bifurcatable) and vanilla debt. The fair value of structured notes is based on quoted prices, where available. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group’s credit spreads, the value of derivatives embedded in the debt and the residual term of the issuance based on call options. Derivatives structured into the issued debt are valued consistently with the Group’s stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships as discussed above. The fair value of structured debt is heavily influenced by the combined call options and performance of the underlying derivative returns. Significant unobservable inputs for long-term debt include buyback probability, gap risk, correlation, volatility, credit spread, mean reversion and price.
Generally, the interrelationships between volatility, correlation, gap risk and credit spread inputs are positively correlated.
Other liabilities
Failed sales
These liabilities represent the financing of assets that did not achieve sale accounting treatment under US GAAP. Failed sales are valued in a manner consistent with the related underlying financial instruments.
Short-term financial instruments
Certain short-term financial instruments are not carried at fair value on the balance sheet, but a fair value has been disclosed in the table “Carrying value and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value” below. These instruments include: cash and due from banks, cash collateral receivables and payables and other receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business. For these financial instruments, the carrying value approximates the fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization, as well as the minimal credit risk inherent in these instruments.
Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in significant unobservable inputs
For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of EBITDA multiple, market implied life expectancy (for life finance instruments), buyback probability, correlation, price, volatility, volatility skew or funding spread, in general, an increase in the significant
149
unobservable input would increase the fair value. For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of market implied life expectancy (for life settlement and premium finance instruments), capitalization rate, discount rate, prepayment rate, gap risk, recovery rate or credit spread, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would decrease the fair value.
For level 3 liabilities, in general, an increase in the related significant unobservable inputs would have the inverse impact on fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable input mean reversion would increase the fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable input basis spread would decrease the fair value.
Interrelationships between significant unobservable inputs
Except as noted above, there are no material interrelationships between the significant unobservable inputs for the financial instruments. As the significant unobservable inputs move independently, generally an increase or decrease in one significant unobservable input will have no impact on the other significant unobservable inputs.
Quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques
The following tables provide the representative range of minimum and maximum values and the associated weighted averages of each significant unobservable input for level 3 assets and liabilities by the related valuation technique most significant to the related financial instrument.

Qualitative discussion of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs
The following sections provide further information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs included in the tables above. The level of aggregation and diversity within the financial instruments disclosed in the tables above results in certain ranges of significant inputs being wide and unevenly distributed across asset and liability categories.
Discount rate
The discount rate is the rate of interest used to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows of a financial instrument. There are multiple factors that will impact the discount rate for any given financial instrument including the coupon on the instrument, the term and the underlying risk of the expected cash flows. Two instruments of similar term and expected cash flows may have significantly different discount rates because the coupons on the instruments are different.
155
Default rate and loss severity
For financial instruments backed by residential real estate or other assets, diversity in the portfolio is reflected in a wide range for loss severity due to varying levels of default. The lower end of the range represents high performing or government guaranteed collateral with a low probability of default or guaranteed timely payment of principal and interest, while the higher end of the range relates to collateral with a greater risk of default.
Credit spread and recovery rate
For financial instruments where credit spread is the significant unobservable input, the wide range represents positions with varying levels of risk. The lower end of the credit spread range typically represents shorter-dated instruments and/or those with better perceived credit risk. The higher end of the range typically comprises longer-dated financial instruments or those referencing non-performing, distressed or impaired reference credits. Similarly, the spread between the reference credit and an index can vary significantly based on the risk of the instrument. The spread will be positive for instruments that have a higher risk of default than the index (which is based on a weighted average of its components) and negative for instruments that have a lower risk of default than the index.
Similarly, recovery rates can vary significantly depending upon the specific assets and terms of each transaction. Transactions with higher seniority or more valuable collateral will have higher recovery rates, while those transactions which are more subordinated or with less valuable collateral will have lower recovery rates.
Correlation
There are many different types of correlation inputs, including credit correlation, cross-asset correlation (such as equity-interest rate correlation), and same-asset correlation (such as interest rate-interest rate correlation). Correlation inputs are generally used to value hybrid and exotic instruments. Due to the complex and unique nature of these instruments, the ranges for correlation inputs can vary widely across portfolios.
Prepayment rate
Prepayment rates may vary from collateral pool to collateral pool, and are driven by a variety of collateral-specific factors, including the type and location of the underlying borrower, the remaining tenor of the obligation and the level and type (e.g., fixed or floating) of interest rate being paid by the borrower.
Volatility and volatility skew
Volatility and its skew are both impacted by the underlying risk, term and strike price of the derivative. In the case of interest rate derivatives, volatility may vary significantly between different underlying currencies and expiration dates on the options. Similarly, in the case of equity derivatives, the volatility attributed to a structure may vary depending upon the underlying reference name on the derivative.
Market implied life expectancy
Market implied life expectancy is the primary significant unobservable input on such products as life settlement, premium finance and SPIA, and represents the estimated mortality rate for the underlying insured for each contract. This estimate may vary depending upon multiple factors including the age and specific health characteristics of the insured.
Price
Bond equivalent price is a primary significant unobservable input for multiple products. Where market prices are not available for an instrument, benchmarking may be utilized to identify comparable issues (same industry and similar product mixes) while adjustments are considered for differences in deal terms and performance.
Buyback probability
Buyback probability is the probability assigned to structured notes being unwound prior to their legal maturity.
Gap risk
Gap risk is the primary significant unobservable input for fund-linked Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance products and structures where the payoff may be sensitive to discontinuity in the hedging portfolio.
Mean reversion
Mean reversion is the primary significant unobservable input for callable constant maturity swap (CMS) spread exotics and represents the idea that prices and returns eventually move back towards the historical average.
Funding spread
Funding spread is the primary significant unobservable input for special purpose vehicle funding facilities. Synthetic funding curves which represent the assets pledged as collateral are used to value structured financing transactions. The curves provide an estimate of where secured funding can be sourced and are expressed as a basis point spread in relation to the referenced benchmark rate.
Capitalization rate
Capitalization rate is the primary significant unobservable input for CMBS loans and is used to estimate the potential return on investment. This is done by dividing the yearly income by the total value of the property.
Basis spread
Basis spread is the primary significant unobservable input for non-callable constant maturity treasury-CMS products and is used to determine interest rate risk as a result of differing lending and borrowing rates.
156
EBITDA multiple
EBITDA multiple is a primary significant unobservable input for some equity deals which are benchmarked using industry comparables. The EBITDA multiple may be preferred over other measures because it is normalized for differences between the accounting policies of similar companies.
Fair value measurements of investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share
Investments in funds held in trading assets and liabilities primarily include positions held in equity funds of funds as an economic hedge for structured notes and derivatives issued to clients that reference the same underlying risk and liquidity terms of the fund. A majority of these funds have limitations imposed on the amount of withdrawals from the fund during the redemption period due to illiquidity of the investments. In other instances, the withdrawal amounts may vary depending on the redemption notice period and are usually larger for the longer redemption notice periods. In addition, penalties may apply if redemption is within a certain time period from initial investment.
Investment in funds held in other investments principally involves private securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds. Several of these investments have redemption restrictions subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the fund and/or redemption is permitted without restriction, but is limited to a certain percentage of total assets or only after a certain date.
Furthermore, for those investments held in both trading assets and other investments that are nonredeemable, the underlying assets of such funds are expected to be liquidated over the life of the fund, which is generally up to 10 years.
The following table pertains to investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share or its equivalent, primarily private equity and hedge funds. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and are measured at fair value using NAV.

Nonrecurring fair value changes
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. The Group typically uses nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in a manner that reflects their highest and best use. Nonrecurring measurements are completed as of period’s end unless otherwise stated.

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

Changes in fair value related to credit risk are due to the change in the Group's own credit spreads. Other changes in fair value are attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, as well as movements in the reference price or index for structured notes. Changes in fair value on Credit Suisse vanilla debt and on debit valuation adjustments on structured notes related to credit risk were CHF (8) million and CHF 301 million in 6M15, respectively.
The following table provides additional information regarding the gains and losses attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk on fair value option elected liabilities which are recorded through AOCI. The table includes both the amount of change during the period and cumulatively that is attributable to the changes in instrument-specific credit risk. In addition it includes the gains and losses related to instrument-specific credit risk that was previously recorded in AOCI that have been transferred during the period to net income.

31 Litigation
The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Group’s material proceedings, related provisions and estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions are described in Note 39 – Litigation in V – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2015 and updated in subsequent quarterly reports (including those discussed below). Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts.
The Group accrues loss contingency litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection with certain proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group also accrues litigation provisions for the estimated fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers in relation to such proceedings, including in cases for which it has not accrued a loss contingency provision. The Group accrues these fee and expense litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection therewith when such fees and expenses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its legal proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of its litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management’s judgment and the advice of counsel. The establishment of additional provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such proceedings warrant.
The specific matters described include (a) proceedings where the Group has accrued a loss contingency provision, given that it is probable that a loss may be incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable; and (b) proceedings where the Group has not accrued such a loss contingency provision for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that any related losses are not reasonably estimable. The description of certain of the matters includes a statement that the Group has established a loss contingency provision and discloses the amount of such provision; for the other matters no such statement is made. With respect to the matters for which no such statement is made, either (a) the Group has not established a loss contingency provision, in which case the matter is treated as a contingent liability under the applicable accounting standard, or (b) the Group has established such a provision but believes that disclosure of that fact would violate confidentiality obligations to which the Group is subject or otherwise compromise attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other protections against disclosure or compromise the Group’s management of the matter. The future outflow of funds in respect of any matter for which the Group has accrued loss contingency provisions cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information, and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that is reflected on the Group’s balance sheet.
It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of the Group’s legal proceedings. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar matters, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings.
161
Factual and legal determinations, many of which are complex, must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding.
Most matters pending against the Group seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent the Group’s reasonably possible losses. For certain of the proceedings discussed the Group has disclosed the amount of damages claimed and certain other quantifiable information that is publicly available.
The Group’s aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. The Group’s estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for the proceedings discussed in Note 39 referenced above and updated in quarterly reports (including below) for which the Group believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF 2.1 billion.
In 2Q16, the Group recorded net litigation provisions of CHF 86 million. After taking into account its litigation provisions, the Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of its legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, including those brought by regulators or other governmental authorities, the ultimate cost to the Group of resolving such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to its operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
Enron-related litigation
On June 2, 2016, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order granting plaintiffs' motion to remand the Silvercreek Management Inc. v. Citigroup, Inc., et al. case to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) for further proceedings.
Mortgage-related matters
The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff losses to date or anticipated future litigation exposure. Rather, unless otherwise stated, these amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as alleged in these actions and do not include any reduction in principal amounts since issuance.
Class action litigations
On May 10, 2016, the SDNY granted its final approval of a settlement of USD 110 million relating to the New Jersey Carpenters Health Fund v. Home Equity Mortgage Trust 2006-5 class action and entered a final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice in respect of this matter.
Individual investor actions
On May 4, 2016, the Washington state court presiding in the action brought by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle granted Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) and its affiliates’ motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing with prejudice all claims related to certain RMBS, thus reducing the RMBS at issue against CSS LLC and its affiliates in the Seattle action from approximately USD 249 million to approximately USD 104 million. The July 2016 trial date for CSS LLC and its affiliates has been removed from the calendar, and a new trial date for a date in or after October 2016 is yet to be set.
On June 1, 2016, following a settlement, a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice was filed with the US District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, which was entered by the court on June 8, 2016, discontinuing the action brought by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver for Colonial Bank relating to approximately USD 34 million of the RMBS at issue against CSS LLC (approximately 12% of the USD 283 million at issue against all defendants in the operative pleading).
On June 8, 2016, following a settlement, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, presiding in the appeal of the action brought by the FDIC as receiver for Colonial Bank in the US District Court for the Central District of California (CDC), granted the stipulation withdrawing FDIC’s appeal of the CDC's dismissal with prejudice of all claims against CSS LLC, relating to approximately USD 12 million of the RMBS at issue (approximately 5% of the USD 259 million at issue against all defendants in the operative pleading). Thus, the entire action is dismissed with prejudice.
On June 13, 2016, the California state court presiding in the actions brought by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco dismissed with prejudice certain claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates, reducing the RMBS at issue against CSS LLC and its affiliates in the San Francisco actions from approximately USD 1.7 billion to approximately USD 1.6 billion (approximately 17% of the USD 9.5 billion at issue against all defendants in the operative pleadings, reduced to reflect dismissal of actions relating to certain certificates). On June 14, 2016, the court entered an order postponing the trial from August 2016 to October 2016.
Refco-related litigation
On June 15, 2016, following a settlement, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit), presiding in the appeal of the action brought by the Joint Official Liquidators of various SPhinX Funds and the trustee of the SPhinX Trust in the SDNY, granted the stipulation withdrawing the appeal, with prejudice, as to CSS LLC and another defendant in the action. Thus, the entire action against CSS LLC is dismissed with prejudice.
Rates-related matters
On May 11, 2016, the SDNY preliminarily approved plaintiffs’ settlement agreements with Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, and six other financial institutions in the consolidated civil class action lawsuit relating to the alleged manipulation of the ISDAFIX rate for US dollars. The settlement provides for dismissal of the case with
162
prejudice and a settlement payment of USD 50 million by Credit Suisse. The settlements remain subject to final court approval.
On May 19, 2016, affiliates of Credit Suisse Group AG, along with several other financial institutions, filed a motion to dismiss a putative class action in the SDNY. The plaintiffs allege that the defendant financial institutions conspired to manipulate certain foreign exchange rates in violation of the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
On May 23, 2016, in the multi-district litigation concerning US Dollar LIBOR, the Second Circuit reversed the decision of the SDNY dismissing plaintiffs’ Sherman Antitrust Act claims and remanded the claims to the SDNY for additional briefing on the issue of whether such claims have been adequately alleged.
Additional putative class action complaints and another individual lawsuit were filed against Credit Suisse Group AG and affiliates, along with other financial institutions, relating to interest rate swaps (IRS). Similar to previously filed complaints, plaintiffs allege that dealer defendants conspired with trading platforms to prevent the development of IRS exchanges. The second individual lawsuit was brought by Javelin Capital Markets LLC, a swap execution facility, and an affiliate, which claim to have suffered lost profits as a result of defendants’ alleged conspiracy. All IRS actions, including the two individual actions, have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation in the SDNY. Plaintiffs have not yet filed a consolidated complaint.
On July 1, 2016, Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse Group AG, along with other financial institutions, were named in a putative class action brought in the SDNY, alleging manipulation of the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate and Singapore Swap Offer Rate.
Credit Suisse Group AG and affiliates, along with other financial institutions and individuals, have been named in several putative class action complaints filed in the SDNY relating to supranational, sub-sovereign, and agency (SSA) bonds. The complaints generally allege that defendants conspired to fix the prices of SSA bonds sold to and purchased from investors in the secondary market.
ATA litigation
On July 12, 2016, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse AG, alleging claims under the United States Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). Credit Suisse AG plans to move to dismiss this version of the complaint on essentially the same grounds set forth in its previous motions to dismiss the earlier complaints.
Mossack Fonseca matter
Credit Suisse, along with many financial institutions, has received inquiries from governmental and regulatory authorities concerning banking relationships between financial institutions, their clients and the Panama-based law firm of Mossack Fonseca. Credit Suisse is conducting a review of these issues and has been cooperating with the authorities.
32 Subsidiary guarantee information
Certain wholly-owned finance subsidiaries of the Group, including Credit Suisse Group Funding (Guernsey) Limited, which is a Guernsey incorporated non-cellular company limited by shares, have issued securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Group. There are various legal and regulatory requirements, including the satisfaction of a solvency test under Guernsey law for the Guernsey subsidiary, applicable to some of the Group’s subsidiaries that may limit their ability to pay dividends or distributions and make loans and advances to the Group.
On March 26, 2007, the Group and the Bank issued full, unconditional and several guarantees of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc.’s outstanding SEC-registered debt securities. In accordance with the guarantees, if Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. fails to make any timely payment under the agreements governing such debt securities, the holders of the debt securities may demand payment from either the Group or the Bank, without first proceeding against Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. The guarantee from the Group is subordinated to senior liabilities. Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
As part of an announced program to evolve the Group’s legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements and US Federal Reserve regulation on establishing Intermediate Holding Companies in the US for non-US banks, legal entities are re-parented as subsidiaries of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. Prior periods are restated to conform to the current presentation to reflect the impact of such transactions.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information
This report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:
– our plans, objectives or goals;
– our future economic performance or prospects;
– the potential effect on our future performance of certain contingencies; and
– assumptions underlying any such statements.
Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
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, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:
– the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;
– market volatility and interest rate fluctuations and developments affecting interest rate levels;
– the strength of the global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries in which we conduct our operations, in particular the risk of continued slow economic recovery or downturn in the US or other developed countries in 2016 and beyond;
– the direct and indirect impacts of deterioration or slow recovery in residential and commercial real estate markets;
– adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of us, sovereign issuers, structured credit products or other credit-related exposures;
– the ability to achieve our strategic objectives, including improved performance, reduced risks, lower costs and more efficient use of capital;
– 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;
– actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices and possible resulting changes to our business organization, practices and policies in countries in which we conduct our operations;
– the effects of changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices in countries in which we conduct our operations;
– competition or changes in our competitive position in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;
– the ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;
– the ability to maintain our reputation and promote our brand;
– the ability to increase market share and control expenses;
– technological changes;
– the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users;
– acquisitions, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully, and divestitures, including the ability to sell non-core assets;
– the adverse resolution of litigation, regulatory proceedings and other contingencies;
– the ability to achieve our cost efficiency goals and cost targets; and
– our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
 
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, including the information set forth in “Risk factors” in I – Information on the company in our Annual Report 2015.
