UBS Issues “Capital Bonds”

UBS is set to issue $ 1 billion in bonds that will count as tier two subordinated notes under the terms of the Basel 3 regime.

The notes will be written down is UBS’s tier one capital ratio falls below 5 per cent.

The measure is designed to push UBS towards the 19 per cent capital ratios demanded by Swiss regulators by 2019.
