ETRACS Alerian MLP Index ETN Class B ( (AMUB) ) just unveiled an update.

UBS AG reported its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, with total revenues rising to USD 27.5 billion from USD 23.8 billion a year earlier and net profit attributable to shareholders more than doubling to USD 4.7 billion. Return on equity improved to 10.5% year-to-date, while the cost/income ratio fell compared with 2025, indicating stronger profitability and operational efficiency.

The bank’s capital and liquidity metrics remained robust, with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 14.3% and a liquidity coverage ratio above 170%, underscoring its resilience as a Swiss systemically relevant bank. UBS AG also confirmed a change in its reporting approach from 2026, shifting to semi-annual IAS 34 interim reports and lighter first- and third-quarter disclosures to enhance efficiency without reducing transparency for investors.

Invested assets rose to USD 7.3 trillion by 30 June 2026, reflecting growth in its wealth and asset management franchises, while headcount declined to about 59,600 full-time equivalents, suggesting ongoing cost discipline. The interim report, dated 31 July 2026, aligns UBS AG’s disclosures with those of UBS Group AG and offers stakeholders more detailed insight into risk, capital and performance through alternative performance measures.
