Internal charges and transfer pricing adjustments are reflected in the performance of each business. Revenue-sharing agreements are used to allocate external customer revenues to a Business Group on a reasonable basis. Transactions between Business Groups are conducted at internally agreed transfer prices or at arm's length. The presentation of the business segments below reflects UBS's organization structure and management responsibilities. UBS's financial businesses are organized on a worldwide basis into three Business Groups and the Corporate Center. Global Wealth Management & Business Banking consists of three segments: Wealth Management International & Switzerland, Wealth Management US and Business Banking Switzerland. The Business Groups Investment Bank and Global Asset Management constitute one segment each. In total, UBS now reports five business segments and Corporate Center. Corporate Center includes all corporate functions and elimination items, as well as remaining Industrial Holdings activities and is not considered a business segment.
