    Pro­vid­ing that the re­al­i­sa­tion of fu­ture tax ben­e­fits is con­sid­ered prob­a­ble, these must be treated as an as­set. The off­set of de­ferred tax as­sets and li­a­bil­i­ties is only pos­si­ble if they are due to/​from the same tax­ing au­thor­ity.

 

De­ferred taxes arise be­cause of tim­ing dif­fer­ences be­tween the IFRS fi­nan­cial state­ments and the statu­tory ac­counts as a re­sult of dif­fer­ing val­u­a­tion poli­cies.

     In­ter­est re­ceiv­able on non-per­form­ing loans in 2013 was CHF 0.495 mil­lion (2012: CHF 0.724 mil­lion).

 

Non-per­form­ing loans

A loan is clas­si­fied as non-per­form­ing as soon as the cap­i­tal re­pay­ments and/​or in­ter­est pay­ments con­trac­tu­ally stip­u­lated are out­stand­ing for 90 days or more. Such loans are not to be clas­si­fied as value-im­paired if it can be as­sumed that they are still cov­ered by ex­ist­ing col­lat­eral.

     Prin­ci­pally struc­tured credit notes (credit-linked notes and credit-de­fault notes).

 

The fair value of non-ex­change-listed fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments is de­ter­mined ex­clu­sively on the ba­sis of traders’ quo­ta­tions or ex­ter­nal pric­ing mod­els based upon prices and in­ter­est rates of a su­per­vised, ac­tive and liq­uid mar­ket. Man­age­ment is con­vinced that the prices ar­rived at by these tech­niques con­sti­tute the most ap­pro­pri­ate value for the bal­ance sheet as of the date of the trans­ac­tions, as well as for the re­lated reval­u­a­tion en­tries in the in­come state­ment.

There are no other cap­i­talised in­tan­gi­ble as­sets on the con­sol­i­dated bal­ance sheet of VP Bank Group with an un­lim­ited es­ti­mated use­ful life.

Re­view of im­pair­ment in value of good­will

The ex­ist­ing good­will of CHF 10.810 mil­lion arises from the ac­qui­si­tion of VP Bank (Lux­em­bourg) S.A. in 2001 and is al­lo­cated to the cash-gen­er­at­ing unit Client Busi­ness In­ter­na­tional. Since 1 Jan­u­ary 2005, this good­will amount has no longer been sub­ject to amor­ti­sa­tion, but rather to an an­nual im­pair­ment test. 

For the pur­poses of the im­pair­ment test car­ried out in 2013, the re­al­is­able amount was based upon the fair value (Level 3), mi­nus sell­ing costs. The level of the im­plicit pre­mium (74 ba­sis points) for client as­sets was com­puted on the ba­sis of stock ex­change quotes for en­ter­prises which fo­cus on the busi­ness of as­set man­age­ment, as well as ac­qui­si­tion prices paid on the oc­ca­sion of cor­po­rate merg­ers, and was used to de­ter­mine the re­cov­er­able amount. The re­cov­er­able amount ex­ceeded the book value to such an ex­tent that a de­cline in the value of the good­will could be viewed as im­prob­a­ble. For this rea­son, a sup­ple­men­tary com­pu­ta­tion of the re­cov­er­able amount based upon the value in use was dis­pensed with.

Debt se­cu­ri­ties is­sued are recorded at fair value plus trans­ac­tion costs upon ini­tial recog­ni­tion. Fair value cor­re­sponds to the con­sid­er­a­tion re­ceived. Sub­se­quently, they are re-mea­sured at amor­tised cost. In this process, the ef­fec­tive in­ter­est method (2.73 per cent) is ap­plied in or­der to amor­tise the dif­fer­ence be­tween the is­suance price and re­demp­tion value over the du­ra­tion of the deben­tures.

As of 31 De­cem­ber 2013, gen­eral and ad­min­is­tra­tive ex­penses in­clude CHF 7.489 mil­lion of op­er­at­ing lease costs (prior year: CHF 6.472 mil­lion).

 

34 Litigation

Within the nor­mal course of busi­ness, VP Bank Group is in­volved in var­i­ous le­gal pro­ceed­ings. It raises pro­vi­sions for on­go­ing and threat­ened lit­i­ga­tion when­ever, in the opin­ion of man­age­ment, pay­ments or losses by Group com­pa­nies are prob­a­ble and their amount can be es­ti­mated. If no out­flow of re­sources is prob­a­ble or the amount of the li­a­bil­i­ties can­not be re­li­ably es­ti­mated, a con­tin­gent li­a­bil­ity is to be dis­closed. All pro­vi­sions are recorded in the item “Other pro­vi­sions” in the con­sol­i­dated bal­ance sheet (note 28).

Fair value of fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments

The fol­low­ing table shows the fair val­ues of fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments based on the val­u­a­tion meth­ods and as­sump­tions set out be­low. This table is pre­sented be­cause not all fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments are dis­closed at their fair val­ues in the con­sol­i­dated fi­nan­cial state­ments. The fair value equates to the price at the date of mea­sure­ment which could be re­alised from the sale of the as­set, or which must be set­tled for the trans­fer of the li­a­bil­ity, in an or­derly trans­ac­tion be­tween mar­ket par­tic­i­pants.

 The fol­low­ing val­u­a­tion meth­ods are used to de­ter­mine the fair value of on-bal­ance-sheet fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments:

 Cash and cash equiv­a­lents, money-mar­ket pa­per

For the bal­ance-sheet-items “Cash and cash equiv­a­lents” and “Re­ceiv­ables aris­ing from money-mar­ket pa­per”, which do not have a pub­lished mar­ket value on a recog­nised stock ex­change or on a rep­re­sen­ta­tive mar­ket, the fair value cor­re­sponds to the amount payable at the bal­ance-sheet date.

 Due from/​to banks and cus­tomers, medium-term notes, deben­ture is­sues

In de­ter­min­ing the fair value of amounts due from/​to banks, due from/​to cus­tomers (in­clud­ing mort­gage re­ceiv­ables and due to cus­tomers in the form of sav­ings and de­posits), as well as of medium-term notes and deben­ture is­sues with a fixed ma­tu­rity or a re­fi­nanc­ing pro­file, the net pre­sent value method is ap­plied (dis­count­ing of mon­e­tary flows with swap rates cor­re­spond­ing to the re­spec­tive term). For prod­ucts whose in­ter­est or pay­ment flows can­not be de­ter­mined in ad­vance, repli­cat­ing port­fo­lios are used.

 Trad­ing port­fo­lios, trad­ing port­fo­lios pledged as se­cu­rity, fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments at fair value

Fair value cor­re­sponds to mar­ket value for the ma­jor­ity of these fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments. The fair value of non-ex­change-listed fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments (in par­tic­u­lar for struc­tured credit loans) is de­ter­mined only on the ba­sis of ex­ter­nal traders’ prices or pric­ing mod­els which are based on prices and in­ter­est rates in an ob­serv­able, ac­tive and liq­uid mar­ket.

 De­riv­a­tive fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments

For the ma­jor­ity of the pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive re­place­ment val­ues (see note 18), the fair value equates to the mar­ket value. The fair value for de­riv­a­tive in­stru­ments with­out mar­ket value is de­ter­mined us­ing uni­form mod­els. These val­u­a­tion mod­els take ac­count of the rel­e­vant pa­ra­me­ters such as con­tract spec­i­fi­ca­tions, the mar­ket price of the un­der­ly­ing se­cu­rity, the yield curve and volatil­ity.

 Val­u­a­tion meth­ods for fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments

The fair value of listed se­cu­ri­ties held for trad­ing pur­poses or as fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments, as well as that of listed de­riv­a­tives and other fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments with a price es­tab­lished in an ac­tive mar­ket, is de­ter­mined on the ba­sis of cur­rent mar­ket value (Level 1). Val­u­a­tion meth­ods or pric­ing mod­els are used to de­ter­mine the fair value of fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments if no di­rect mar­ket prices are avail­able. If pos­si­ble, the un­der­ly­ing as­sump­tions are based on ob­served mar­ket prices or other mar­ket in­di­ca­tors as at the bal­ance-sheet date (Level 2). For most of the de­riv­a­tives traded over the counter, as well as for other fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments that are not traded in an ac­tive mar­ket, fair value is de­ter­mined by means of val­u­a­tion meth­ods or pric­ing mod­els. Among the most fre­quently ap­plied of those meth­ods and mod­els are cash-value-based for­ward pric­ing and swap mod­els, as well as op­tions pric­ing mod­els such as the Black-Sc­holes model or de­riva­tions thereof. The fair val­ues ar­rived at on the ba­sis of these meth­ods and mod­els are in­flu­enced to a sig­nif­i­cant de­gree by the choice of the spe­cific val­u­a­tion model and the un­der­ly­ing as­sump­tions ap­plied, for ex­am­ple the amounts and time se­quence of fu­ture cash flows, dis­count rates, volatil­i­ties and/​or credit risks. If nei­ther cur­rent mar­ket prices nor val­u­a­tion meth­ods/​mod­els based on ob­serv­able mar­ket data can be drawn on for the pur­pose of de­ter­min­ing fair value, then val­u­a­tion meth­ods or pric­ing mod­els sup­ported by re­al­is­tic as­sump­tions de­rived from ac­tual mar­ket data are used (Level 3).

In the fi­nan­cial year 2013, po­si­tions with a fair value of CHF 0.0 mil­lion (2012: CHF 0.0 mil­lion) were re­clas­si­fied from Level 1 (quoted mar­ket prices) to Level 2 (val­u­a­tion meth­ods based on mar­ket data) and po­si­tions with a fair value of CHF 0.0 mil­lion (2012: CHF 0.0 mil­lion) were re­clas­si­fied from Level 2 to Level 3 (val­u­a­tion meth­ods, based on re­al­is­tic mar­ket-data-re­lated as­sump­tions). 

The re­clas­si­fi­ca­tions are made as of the end of the re­port­ing pe­riod in the case of changes in the avail­abil­ity of mar­ket prices (mar­ket liq­uid­ity).

No de­ferred day 1 profit or loss (dif­fer­ence be­tween the trans­ac­tion price and the fair value cal­cu­lated on the trans­ac­tion day) was re­ported for Level 3 po­si­tions as of 31 De­cem­ber 2013 or 31 De­cem­ber 2012. 

Sen­si­tiv­ity of fair val­ues of Level-3 fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments:

Changes in the net as­set val­ues of in­vest­ment funds lead to cor­re­spond­ing changes in the fair val­ues of these fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments. A re­al­is­tic change in the ba­sic as­sump­tions or es­ti­mated val­ues has no ma­te­r­ial im­pact of the state­ment of in­come and of other com­pre­hen­sive in­come as well as the share­hold­ers‘ eq­uity of VP Bank Group.

Net­ting Agree­ments

In or­der to re­duce the credit risks in con­nec­tion with fi­nan­cial de­riv­a­tives, re­pur­chase and re­verse re­pur­chase as well as se­cu­ri­ties-lend­ing and -bor­row­ing trans­ac­tions, VP Bank Group en­ters into global off­set agree­ments or sim­i­lar arrange­ments (net­ting agree­ments) with its coun­ter­par­ties. These in­clude ISDA Mas­ter Net­ting Agree­ments, Global Mas­ter Se­cu­ri­ties Lend­ing Agree­ments and Global Mas­ter Repo Agree­ments. Us­ing net­ting agree­ments, VP Bank Group can pro­tect it­self against losses aris­ing from pos­si­ble in­sol­vency pro­ceed­ings or other cir­cum­stances in which the coun­ter­party is un­able to meet its oblig­a­tions. In such cases, net­ting agree­ments fore­see the im­me­di­ate off­set and/​or set­tle­ment of all fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments falling un­der the re­lated agree­ment. A right of off­set, in prin­ci­ple, ex­ists only when­ever a de­fault in pay­ment or other cir­cum­stances oc­cur which are not ex­pected in the or­di­nary course of busi­ness. Fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments falling un­der a net­ting agree­ment do not meet the set-off re­quire­ments for bal­ance-sheet pur­poses, which is why the re­lated fi­nan­cial in­stru­ments are not net­ted in the bal­ance sheet.

41 Retirement pension plans

Ben­e­fits af­ter ter­mi­na­tion of em­ploy­ment 

The Group main­tains a num­ber of pen­sion plans in the Prin­ci­pal­ity of Liecht­en­stein and abroad for em­ploy­ees meet­ing the cri­te­ria for ad­mis­sion to the pen­sion plans. Amongst these are both de­fined-ben­e­fit and de­fined-con­tri­bu­tion plans which in­sure most em­ploy­ees against the ef­fects of death, in­va­lid­ity and re­tire­ment.

De­fined-con­tri­bu­tion pen­sion plans 

The Group of­fers de­fined-con­tri­bu­tion pen­sion plans to those em­ploy­ees who meet the ap­pro­pri­ate ad­mis­sion cri­te­ria. The com­pany is ob­lig­ated to trans­fer a pre­de­ter­mined per­cent­age of the an­nual salary to the pen­sion plans. For cer­tain plans, the em­ploy­ees are also ob­lig­ated to make con­tri­bu­tions. These con­tri­bu­tions are de­ducted by the em­ployer from the salary typ­i­cally each month and also passed on to the pen­sion plans. Apart from the pay­ment of con­tri­bu­tions and the trans­fer of em­ployee con­tri­bu­tions, there are presently no fur­ther oblig­a­tions in­cum­bent on the em­ployer. 

The em­ployee con­tri­bu­tions to con­tri­bu­tion-de­fined pen­sion plans (ex­clud­ing dis­con­tin­ued op­er­a­tions) for 2013 amounted to CHF 0.602 mil­lion (prior year: CHF 0.968 mil­lion). 

De­fined-ben­e­fit pen­sion plans

The Group fi­nances de­fined-ben­e­fit pen­sion plans for em­ploy­ees who meet the ad­mis­sion cri­te­ria. The most sig­nif­i­cant of such plans are lo­cated in the Prin­ci­pal­ity of Liecht­en­stein and Switzer­land. 

For em­ploy­ees in the Prin­ci­pal­ity of Liecht­en­stein and Switzer­land, the Group op­er­ates sev­eral pen­sion plans with fixed, pre­de­fined ad­mis­sion cri­te­ria. The largest of the plans are op­er­ated us­ing an au­tonomous foun­da­tion, the re­main­ing plans are han­dled us­ing col­lec­tive foun­da­tions of in­sur­ance com­pa­nies. In these foun­da­tions, the as­sets avail­able to meet the pen­sion oblig­a­tions are seg­re­gated out. 

For the pen­sion plans which are op­er­ated us­ing col­lec­tive foun­da­tions, there are pen­sion com­mis­sions which com­prise an equal num­ber of rep­re­sen­tatives. 

The Coun­cil of the Foun­da­tion of the au­tonomous pen­sion plan is also made up of an equal num­ber of em­ployer and em­ployee rep­re­sen­ta­tives. On the ba­sis of the Law and the Rules of the Pen­sion Fund, the Foun­da­tion Coun­cil is ob­lig­ated to act solely in the in­ter­ests of the Foun­da­tion and of the bene­fi­cia­ries (cur­rent ac­tively in­sured em­ploy­ees and pen­sion­ers). Thus, in this plan, the em­ployer can­not him­self de­ter­mine pen­sion ben­e­fits and their fi­nanc­ing, but res­o­lu­tions are taken on an equal rep­re­sen­ta­tion ba­sis. The Coun­cil of the Foun­da­tion is re­spon­si­ble for set­ting the in­vest­ment strat­egy, for changes to the Rules of the Pen­sion Fund and in par­tic­u­lar also for de­ter­min­ing how pen­sion ben­e­fits are to be fi­nanced. 

Re­tire­ment ben­e­fits in this plan are based upon the bal­ance of ac­cu­mu­lated cap­i­tal sav­ings. An­nual sav­ings cred­its and in­ter­est (no neg­a­tive in­ter­est is pos­si­ble) are added to the em­ployee‘s cap­i­tal sav­ings ac­count. Upon re­tire­ment, the in­sured per­son has the op­tion be­tween a life­time pen­sion which in­cludes a re­ver­sion­ary spouse‘s pen­sion, or the pay­ment of a cap­i­tal sum. In ad­di­tion to re­tire­ment ben­e­fits, em­ployee ben­e­fits also in­clude an in­va­lid­ity pen­sion and a part­ner pen­sion. These are com­puted as a per­cent­age of the in­sured an­nual salary. An in­sured per­son can also pur­chase ad­di­tional ben­e­fits to im­prove his/​her pen­sion sit­u­a­tion up to a max­i­mum al­lowed un­der the pen­sion rules. 

Upon ter­mi­na­tion of em­ploy­ment, the ac­cu­mu­lated sav­ings cap­i­tal is trans­ferred to the pen­sion plan of the new em­ployer or to a vested ben­e­fits scheme. This form of em­ploy­ment ben­e­fit can lead to a sit­u­a­tion where pen­sion pay­ments may vary sig­nif­i­cantly be­tween the var­i­ous years. 

The min­i­mum pro­vi­sions of the Law on Oc­cu­pa­tional Pen­sion Plans and its Im­ple­ment­ing Pro­vi­sions (BPVG) are to be ob­served in de­ter­min­ing em­ployee ben­e­fits. The min­i­mum in­sur­able salary and the min­i­mum sav­ings cred­its are laid down in the BPVG.

As a re­sult of the form of the pen­sion plan and the le­gal pro­vi­sions of the BPVG, the em­ployer is ex­posed to ac­tu­ar­ial risks, the most sig­nif­i­cant of which are in­vest­ment risk, in­ter­est-rate risk, in­va­lid­ity risk and longevity risk. The em­ployee and em­ployer con­tri­bu­tions are laid down by the Coun­cils of the Foun­da­tions. In this con­nec­tion, the em­ployer must bear, at a min­i­mum, half of all con­tri­bu­tions. In the event of a fund­ing deficit, re­struc­tur­ing con­tri­bu­tions to elim­i­nate the fund­ing deficit may be de­manded both from the em­ployer and em­ploy­ees. 

The lat­est ac­tu­ar­ial val­u­a­tion of the pre­sent value of the de­fined-ben­e­fit oblig­a­tions and ser­vice costs was car­ried out as of 31 De­cem­ber 2013 by in­de­pen­dent ac­tu­ar­ies us­ing the Pro­jected Unit Credit Method. The fair value of plan as­sets as of 31 De­cem­ber 2013 was de­ter­mined based upon in­for­ma­tion avail­able at the time of prepa­ra­tion of the an­nual fi­nan­cial state­ments.

In the case of the au­tonomous pen­sion plan, the Foun­da­tion Coun­cil is­sues in­vest­ment guide­lines for the in­vest­ment of the plan’s as­sets which con­tain the tac­ti­cal as­set al­lo­ca­tion and the bench­marks for com­par­ing the re­sults with those of the gen­eral in­vest­ment uni­verse. The plan as­sets are well di­ver­si­fied and, in ad­di­tion, the le­gal pro­vi­sions of the BPVG are to be ob­served.

The plan as­sets of col­lec­tive pen­sion foun­da­tions are in­vested in in­sur­ance poli­cies with in­sur­ance com­pa­nies.

The Coun­cil of the Foun­da­tion re­views on an on­go­ing ba­sis whether the in­vest­ment strat­egy cho­sen is ap­pro­pri­ate to cover the pen­sion ben­e­fits and whether the risk bud­get cor­re­sponds to the de­mo­graphic struc­ture. Com­pli­ance with in­vest­ment guide­lines and the in­vest­ment per­for­mance of in­vest­ment ad­vi­sors is also sub­ject to on­go­ing re­view.

43 Employee stock-ownership plan

The stock-own­er­ship plan en­ables em­ploy­ees to sub­scribe an­nu­ally to a de­fined num­ber of bearer shares of Ver­wal­tungs- und Pri­vat-Bank Ak­tien­gesellschaft, Vaduz, at a pref­er­en­tial price sub­ject to a four-year re­stric­tion on sell­ing. Upon ex­pi­ra­tion of the sales re­stric­tion pe­riod, or at the time of res­ig­na­tion from VP Bank Group, the re­lated shares be­come freely avail­able. As the em­ploy­ees are there­fore ul­ti­mately able to take up the shares at any time and in full, the ex­pense aris­ing from the em­ployee par­tic­i­pa­tion plans is recorded in full at the time of their re­spec­tive al­lo­ca­tion. The num­ber of bearer shares that can be sub­scribed to de­pends upon the years of ser­vice, rank and man­age­ment level. 

The pur­chase price is de­ter­mined an­nu­ally in re­la­tion to the mar­ket value of the bearer shares on the Swiss Ex­change (ex-div­i­dend). The shares is­sued in this man­ner de­rive ei­ther from share­hold­ings of VP Bank Group or must be pur­chased for this pur­pose over the ex­change. The ex­pense thereby in­curred is charged di­rectly to per­son­nel costs. 

Dur­ing 2013, 10,324 shares were is­sued at a pref­er­en­tial price (2012: 9,396 shares). Share is­sue ex­penses in 2013 were CHF 0.7 mil­lion (2012: CHF 0.7 mil­lion). 

There is no profit-shar­ing plan for the Board of Di­rec­tors. Its mem­bers, how­ever, re­ceive a part of their re­mu­ner­a­tion/​bonuses in the form of eq­uity shares which are not sub­ject to any lock-up pe­riod (note 40). A profit-shar­ing plan ex­ists for Group Man­age­ment and other man­age­ment mem­bers (note 44). VP Bank has de­fined wait­ing pe­ri­ods for the Board of Di­rec­tors, Group Man­age­ment and se­lected ex­ec­u­tives and em­ploy­ees, dur­ing which it is for­bid­den to trade in the shares of VP Bank.

 

44 Management profit-sharing plan

A long-term, value-ori­ented com­pen­sa­tion model ap­plies to the Group Ex­ec­u­tive Man­age­ment and sec­ond-level man­age­ment mem­bers of VP Bank. Un­der this model, the com­pen­sa­tion paid to mem­bers of se­nior man­age­ment con­sists of the fol­low­ing: 

  1. A fixed base salary that is con­trac­tu­ally agreed be­tween the Com­mit­tee of the Board of Di­rec­tors (in its func­tion as Nom­i­na­tion & Com­pen­sa­tion Com­mit­tee) and the mem­bers of Group Ex­ec­u­tive Man­age­ment. In ad­di­tion to the base salary, VP Bank will pay pro­por­tion­ate con­tri­bu­tions to man­age­ment in­sur­ance and the pen­sion fund.
  2. A vari­able per­for­mance-re­lated por­tion (Short-Term In­cen­tive Plan, STI) which de­pends on the an­nual value cre­ation of VP Bank Group. It is al­lo­cated on the ba­sis of qual­i­ta­tive in­di­vid­ual cri­te­ria and fi­nan­cial Group tar­gets. The fi­nan­cial Group tar­gets are weighted by some two-thirds. The STI is paid an­nu­ally in cash.
  3. A long-term vari­able man­age­ment eq­uity-share plan (Long-Term In­cen­tive Plan, LTI) set­tled in the form of bearer shares of VP Bank. The ba­sic prin­ciples thereof are the fo­cus on value cre­ation (eco­nomic profit) and the long-term com­mit­ment of man­age­ment to a vari­able salary com­po­nent in the form of shares. The num­ber of shares which are vested af­ter a pe­riod of three years is di­rectly de­pen­dent on the trend of the eco­nomic profit of VP Bank Group. This lat­ter takes ac­count of cap­i­tal- and risk-re­lated costs. Tar­gets are set on the ba­sis of an ex­ter­nal per­spec­tive. The start­ing point in this con­nec­tion is the tar­get yield on the mar­ket value. Thus, de­pend­ing on the fi­nan­cial trend, a greater or lesser num­ber of shares are al­lo­cated. The fac­tor ranges from a min­i­mum of 0.5 and a max­i­mum of 2.0. The ba­sis for cal­cu­lat­ing ex­penses for man­age­ment stock par­tic­i­pa­tion con­sists of the num­ber of shares, the goal-achieve­ment fac­tor and the cur­rent price of the stock at the time the goals were set. The share price is de­ter­mined by ref­er­ence to the av­er­age clos­ing price of the three pre­ced­ing months of the bearer shares quoted on the SWX for the re­spec­tive grant date. The mon­e­tary ben­e­fit set­tled in shares at the end of the plan is also de­pen­dent on the stock price of the VP Bank bearer shares. The bearer shares re­quired to ser­vice the LTI eq­uity-share plan are ei­ther taken from the port­fo­lio of trea­sury shares of VP Bank Group or are pur­chased on the stock ex­change.

The Board of Di­rec­tors lays down each year the plan­ning pa­ra­me­ters of the LTI for the fol­low­ing three years as well as the level of the STI. In the 2013–2015 pro­gramme, a tar­get bonus (LTI and STI) of be­tween 65 and 100 per cent of the fixed base salary is cal­cu­lated pro­vided that the an­nual and three-year goals are at­tained.

45 Discontinued operations

In the sum­mer of 2012, the Board of Di­rec­tors of VP Bank Group re­solved to fo­cus strate­gi­cally on the mid­dle pri­vate-bank­ing seg­ment as well as the busi­ness with in­ter­me­di­aries. Mar­ket-de­vel­op­ment ac­tiv­i­ties, the whole dis­tri­b­u­tion and all sup­port­ing units were redi­rected on tar­get clients in de­fined mar­kets in Eu­rope and Asia. The pri­mary goal is to grow as a group in a prof­itable man­ner. Mar­kets, client seg­ments as well as prod­ucts and ser­vices were all sub­jected to in-depth analy­sis.

Dur­ing the process of strate­gic redi­rec­tion, the Board of Di­rec­tors de­cided to dis­pose of the Group‘s own trust and fidu­ciary com­pa­nies. The sub­sidiary com­pany IGT In­terges­tions Trust reg. in Vaduz was dis­posed of by VP Bank Group as part of a man­age­ment buy­out; all em­ploy­ees were trans­ferred to the ex­ist­ing com­pany. 

VP Bank Group also sim­pli­fied the struc­tures of its um­brella hold­ing com­pany VP Bank and Trust Com­pany (BVI) Lim­ited in Tor­tola on the British Vir­gin Is­lands, which was a joint ven­ture with the Liecht­en­stein-based All­ge­meines Treu­un­ternehmen (ATU), Vaduz. VP Bank Group ac­quired the en­tire cap­i­tal of VP Bank (BVI) Lim­ited (note 46), and the re­main­ing par­tic­i­pa­tions were trans­ferred to ATU.

Cal­cu­la­tion method

All client as­sets that are man­aged or held for in­vest­ment pur­poses for which in­vest­ment-ad­vi­sory and as­set-man­age­ment ser­vices are pro­vided are con­sid­ered as client as­sets un­der man­age­ment. In prin­ci­ple, all amounts owed to clients, fidu­ciary de­posits and all as­sets in se­cu­rity de­posits with a value are in­cluded therein. The cal­cu­la­tion is made on the ba­sis of the pro­vi­sions of the Liecht­en­stein Bank­ing Or­di­nance (Note 3, Point 88a, FL-BankV) and the in­ter­nal guide­lines of VP Bank Group.

As­sets in self-ad­min­is­tered in­vest­ment funds

This item con­tains the as­sets of all ad­min­is­tered in­vest­ment funds of VP Bank Group.

As­sets in dis­cre­tionary as­set-man­age­ment ac­counts

The as­sets in dis­cre­tionary as­set-man­age­ment ac­counts en­com­pass se­cu­ri­ties, un­cer­tifi­cated se­cu­ri­ties, pre­cious met­als, fidu­ciary de­posits placed with third par­ties val­ued at mar­ket value and client de­posits. The data in­clude both as­sets de­posited with Group com­pa­nies and with third par­ties which are the ob­ject of a dis­cre­tionary as­set-man­age­ment agree­ment with a Group com­pany.

Other client as­sets un­der man­age­ment

Other client as­sets un­der man­age­ment en­com­pass se­cu­ri­ties, un­cer­tifi­cated se­cu­ri­ties, pre­cious met­als, fidu­ciary de­posits placed with third par­ties val­ued at mar­ket value and client de­posits. The data en­com­pass as­sets which are the ob­ject of an ad­min­is­tra­tion or ad­vi­sory man­date.

Amounts counted twice

This item en­com­passes unit shares in self-ad­min­is­tered in­vest­ment funds which are in client port­fo­lios sub­ject to a dis­cre­tionary as­set-man­age­ment agree­ment and other se­cu­rity de­posits of clients.

Net new money in­flows/​out­flows

This item com­prises the ac­qui­si­tion of new clients, lost clients and in­flows or out­flows from ex­ist­ing clients. Per­for­mance-re­lated changes in as­sets such as share price move­ments, in­ter­est and div­i­dend pay­ments, as well as in­ter­est charged to clients, are not con­sid­ered as in­flows and out­flows. Ac­qui­si­tion-re­lated changes in as­sets are pre­sented sep­a­rately.

Cus­tody as­sets

As­sets held ex­clu­sively for the pur­poses of trad­ing and cus­tody for which the in­volve­ment of VP Bank Group is lim­ited to cus­to­dian and col­lec­tion ac­tiv­i­ties.
