Your compensation and benefits

Our compensation and benefits programs give you every incentive to excel. By rewarding your individual achievements and team contribution, we sustain and enhance our entrepreneurial, performance-oriented culture. We also encourage you in maintaining a good work-life balance, as this is important for the sustainability of your career success and the achievement of our business goals.

Compensation philosophy

UBS’s compensation policy is designed to help us to attract, retain and motivate talented individuals who can enable us to achieve our goals. We believe compensation should provide incentives that foster our entrepreneurial and performance-oriented culture and support our integrated business strategy. We follow four guiding principles:

Compensation philosophy

Compensation elements

Your base salary recognizes the experience, skills and knowledge that you bring to your role. We determine your salary level based on your rank or functional role, level of responsibility, individual skills and competencies and the wider market environment.

Annual incentive awards (bonuses) reflect the performance of the firm and its various businesses as well as your individual contribution. As incentive awards are discretionary, they can be highly variable from year to year.

In addition to your annual incentive award, you may be paid in UBS shares. Our highest performing employees and those with highest potential are eligible for discretionary stock option awards. Certain conditions apply. Most employees can take part in the Equity Plus stock option program, through which you can buy UBS shares at fair market value and generally receive two UBS options for each share purchased.

Benefits vary substantially from location to location, in line with local market practice.

Through this balanced approach, we ensure that you can realize the full value of your contribution to our shared success.
