Note 3 Net Interest and Trading Income
Note 3  Net Interest and Trading Income

Search only in Quarterly Reporting Q2 2007

Accounting standards require separate disclosure of net interest income and net trading income (see the tables on this and the next page). This required disclosure, however, does not take into account that net interest and trading income are generated by a range of different businesses. In many cases, a particular business can generate both net interest and trading income. Fixed income trading activity, for example, generates both trading profits and coupon income. UBS management therefore analyzes net interest and trading income according to the businesses that drive it. The second table below (labeled Breakdown by businesses) provides information that corresponds to this management view. Net income from trading businesses includes both interest and trading income generated by the Group's trading businesses and the Investment Bank's lending activities. Net income from interest margin businesses comprises interest income from the Group's loan portfolio. Net income from treasury and other activities reflects all income from the Group's centralized treasury function.

1 Please refer to the table "Net Interest and Trading Income" on the previous page for the Net income from trading businesses (for an explanation, read the corresponding introductory comment). 2 Includes cash & collateral trading and commodities.

Included in the Net trading income table are Net gains/(losses) of CHF (3,806) million for the quarter ended 30 June 2007, CHF (486) million for the quarter ended 31 March 2007, and CHF 2,902 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2006 related to Financial liabilities designated at fair value. Financial liabilities designated at fair value include the impact of UBS's own credit where market information indicates that it is reflected in the price at which UBS transacts with third parties. Products with UBS's own credit as a valuation input include certain structured debt instruments where either at inception or over their life, UBS receives cash flows that provide funding and thereby expose the counterparty to UBS credit risk. In all periods presented, for counterparties entering into products which are financial liabilities from UBS's perspective, the perception of UBS's credit risk has remained stable.
