June 4 (Reuters) - UBS Group AG (UBSG.S) is looking to retain more than 100 Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN.S) investment bankers across Asia, as the Swiss banking giant plans to shore up talent in markets where its rival has a stronger presence, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday.
Bloomberg said that Switzerland's biggest bank's retention target of more than 100 bankers did not include China.
It has held talks with a few bankers in China, but the final number being kept will depend on discussions with regulators, the report added.
UBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report, while Credit Suisse declined to comment.
Reuters last month reported that hundreds of Credit Suisse employees are resigning each week in a sign of uncertainty gripping the lender while it is being taken over by its larger rival.
