Segment reporting

As of 1 January 2017, VP Bank amended its organisational structure by creating a new organisational unit “General Counsel & Chief Risk Officer”. As part of the process of implementation of the strategy 2020, the function of General Counsel was merged with that of the Chief Risk Officer and investment expertise was specifically reinforced. As already communicated in the 2016 Annual Report of VP Bank Group (page 15), the management structure consists, from this date on, of the six organisational units “Chief Executive Officer”, “Client Business”, “Investment Solutions”, “General Counsel & Chief Risk Officer”, “Chief Financial Officer” and “Chief Operating Officer”. 

For segment-reporting purposes, the organisational unit “Client Business” is divided into two business segments “Client Business Liechtenstein” and “Client Business International”. The unit “Investment Solutions” is managed, for segment-reporting purposes, in “Client Business Liechtenstein” and “Client Business International”. The four organisational units “Chief Executive Officer”, “Chief Financial Officer”, “Chief Operating Officer” and “General Counsel & Chief Risk Officer” are regrouped together, for segment reporting, under the business segment “Corporate Center”.
