These litigation provisions have been incurred in respect of a number of cases where the Group has more proactively pursued settlements and primarily relate to legacy litigation matters from our investment banking business. Before deduction of the already announced approximately CHF 1.6 billion goodwill impairment for the Group, of which approximately CHF 1.5 billion in the Investment Bank division and approximately CHF 0.1 billion in the Asia Pacific division, this is expected to result in a reported pre-tax income/(loss) for the Group of approximately breakeven for the fourth quarter 2021. With regard to our underlying business results, as we indicated in our announcement of November 4, 2021, we have seen a reduction in transaction-based revenues in the Investment Bank and our wealth management businesses. This reflects the usual seasonal slowdown but, in addition, business activity reflects the reversion to more normal trading conditions after the exceptional environment that prevailed for most of 2020 and 2021. Combined with the reduction in our overall risk appetite, including our decision to substantially exit our prime services business, this has resulted in a loss for the fourth quarter 2021 in the Investment Bank division (before the goodwill impairment). In our wealth management businesses, there has been a significant slowdown in transaction activity in the International Wealth Management and Asia Pacific divisions, with the latter also reflecting client de-leveraging mainly due to the adverse market conditions in Asia. As a consequence, fourth-quarter 2021 net new assets for our wealth management businesses will be modestly negative, albeit more than offset by inflows in our Asset Management business. With regard to our capital position, our year-end 2021 Group CET1 ratio is expected to exceed our ambition of 14%, while our year-end 2021 Tier 1 leverage ratio is expected to exceed 6%. The financial results are still subject to detailed finalization and review. We will provide a full update on our fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 financial performance at our results announcement on Thursday, February 10, 2022.
