Note 35 Significant Subsidiaries and Associates
Note 35  Significant Subsidiaries and Associates

The legal entity group structure of UBS is designed to support the Group's businesses within an efficient legal, tax, regulatory and funding framework. Neither the Business Groups of UBS (namely Investment Bank, Global Wealth Management & Business Banking and Global Asset Management) nor ­Corporate Center are replicated in their own individual legal entities, but rather they generally operate out of UBS AG (Parent Bank) through its Swiss and foreign branches.

The parent bank structure allows UBS to capitalize on the advantages offered by the use of one legal platform by all the Business Groups. It provides for the most cost-efficient and flexible structure and facilitates efficient allocation and use of capital, comprehensive risk management and control and straightforward funding processes.

Where, usually due to local legal, tax or regulatory rules or due to additional legal entities joining the UBS Group via acquisition, it is either not possible or not efficient to operate out of the Parent Bank, then local subsidiary companies host the businesses. The significant operating subsidiary companies in the Group are listed below:
