Asymmetric Balance

Hi just curious about this...

On the type I fly E190 when climbing away OEI in order to have a neutral aileron input the trapezoid (balance ball) needs to be not entirely central, i.e. lacking a bit of corrective rudder, why would this be? Is the aircraft 'slipping' in this case?

I assume this effect applies to all swept wing jet aircraft?
