UBS Group AG Q2 2025 Financial Results and Regulatory Commentary

SEC Filing 6-K (0001610520-25-000084)

UBS Group AG reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, highlighting strong performance despite extreme volatility in global financial markets. The company achieved a first-half underlying return on CET1 capital of 13.3%, driven by robust client activity and the ongoing integration of Credit Suisse. Group invested assets reached a record $6.6 trillion. UBS also addressed the Swiss Federal Council's banking reform proposals, expressing support for most measures but strongly opposing the proposed capital requirements, which it deemed extreme and inconsistent with international best practices. UBS argued that these requirements would necessitate an additional $42 billion in capital, significantly impacting its competitive position and the Swiss economy. The company emphasized its commitment to transparency and accountability in contributing to the public debate on regulatory reforms.
