ZURICH, Nov 22 (Reuters) - UBS is one of the world’s safest large institutions, the Swiss bank's CEO said while speaking at a Swiss Risk Association event on Wednesday. "Even in the unlikely event of something going wrong at UBS, we have enough cushion before even speaking about a resolution of the bank and its very unlikely risk of a loss for the taxpayer," Sergio Ermotti said. Would UBS need to be rescued, Ermotti said a private buyer would continue to be preferable. The head of Switzerland's largest bank also advocated for certain regulatory improvements including strengthening the tools for early intervention by supervisors.

☆ Biggest test of Credit Suisse rescue yet to come, says UBS

London CNN —2024 will be the “pivotal” year in the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS, with the migration of IT systems presenting huge risks as the two megabanks merge operations across more than 50 countries, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti said Wednesday. Next year is “probably the most important year in terms of execution” of the deal, he told clients at a UBS (UBS) conference in London. “In a sense, that will allow us to create clarity.”Ermotti was brought back to helm UBS through its takeover of Credit Suisse within days of the government-orchestrated deal being announced in March. Ermotti said Wednesday that Credit Suisse’s keen focus on clients was both a strength and a weakness of the bank’s culture. “The biggest opportunity (is) allowing the people, the clients, and the product and service capability that Credit Suisse brings to be able to flourish within UBS and make UBS stronger,” Ermotti said.

☆ UBS boss Ermotti says 'incredible' bond demand is 'a signal to the Swiss banking system'

Sergio Ermotti, CEO of UBS gestures during a panel discussion at the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce in Zurich, Switzerland January 18, 2019. UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti says the "incredible" market demand for the bank's recent issuance of AT1 (additional tier one) bonds is a "signal to the Swiss banking system." The Swiss lender last week began selling the bonds — which were at the heart of controversy during its emergency rescue of Credit Suisse earlier this year — for the first time since the takeover. Ermotti told CNBC on Wednesday that he was "more than encouraged" by the massive oversubscription received for last week's return to the market. "The AT1 demand was incredible — 36 billion euros ($39.1 billion) of demand for what happened to be 3.5 billion [euros] of placements — and in my point of view, it was probably the highlight in a sense of the confidence is restoring not only for UBS, I would say also it is a signal to the Swiss financial system," Ermotti said.

The caller was UBS (UBS) chairman Colm Kelleher. “I was definitely not expecting the phone call,” Ermotti told CNN on the sidelines of a conference in Geneva last month. UBS paid 60% less than the beaten-down value of Credit Suisse shares just before its last-ditch rescue over a weekend. Even if Credit Suisse had none of that painful baggage, the sheer size of the two banks makes the merger an enormous undertaking. “The fact that UBS was asked to be part of the solution (to Credit Suisse), that was the ultimate success,” Ermotti told CNN.

☆ UBS CEO: AT1 sale a sign of confidence in Swiss financial system
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

ZURICH, Nov 9 (Reuters) - UBS's Chief Executive said the Swiss bank's ability to raise $3.5 billion from the issuance of its first Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bond sale since taking over Credit Suisse was a sign of confidence for UBS and the Swiss financial system. "People are slowly but surely recognising that that event in March was an idiosyncratic event," Sergio Ermotti said speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore on Thursday. The shotgun merger between the two banks had seen Credit Suisse's $17 billion of AT1 bonds wiped out. An AT1 rout that followed had raised concern about the future of an asset introduced after the 2008 financial crisis to act as shock absorbers if bank capital levels fell below a certain threshold. "People understand that the AT1 is a very important element of our capital stack and we have the credibility to continue to use it," Ermotti said.

ZURICH, Nov 7 (Reuters) - UBS Group (UBSG.S) posted a $785 million loss in the third quarter after expenses tied to the Swiss bank's takeover of Credit Suisse while signalling that its core wealth business is stabilising. Stripping out the impact of the takeover, UBS made an underlying profit of $844 million. With the takeover, UBS now oversees more than $5 trillion in assets. It has been working to recover from the exodus of client funds from Credit Suisse with above-market rates on deposits. It also continued to cut staff, which accounted for a big chunk of the more than 2 billion Swiss francs ($2.22 billion) of costs related to integration.

London CNN —UBS made a hefty loss in the first full quarter since it closed a deal to rescue its stricken rival Credit Suisse, even as the bank attracted billions of dollars in new deposits from customers. UBS (UBS) saw $22 billion of net new money flow into its global wealth management business, as it gained new clients and won back assets from those who had pulled funds immediately after the takeover. That figure includes flows into Credit Suisse’s wealth management unit, which turned positive for the first time in 18 months. Across the group as a whole, UBS attracted net new deposits of $33 billion, with two-thirds of that coming from legacy Credit Suisse clients. CEO Sergio Ermotti was brought back to helm UBS through its takeover of Credit Suisse within days of the Swiss government-orchestrated deal being announced.

But investors in his bank UBS (UBSG.S) still seem relatively cool on his Credit Suisse acquisition. Ermotti has reversed the client exodus that ultimately sank Credit Suisse. Yet there’s much to do before investors give UBS credit for that rosier future. Bloomberg reported in September that the U.S. Department of Justice had stepped up a probe into Credit Suisse and UBS over suspected Russian compliance failures. The group also booked a $2 billion expense related to the cost of integrating Credit Suisse, which it bought earlier this year.

The Zurich-based bank said underlying profit before taxes came in at $884 million in the first full quarter since the merger was completed in June. Government authorities in Bern shepherded through the deal with bank chiefs to stave off a collapse of Credit Suisse and avert a financial crisis.

UBS shares climbed on Tuesday morning after the Swiss banking giant resoundingly beat expectations for underlying profit. The bank recorded an underlying operating profit before tax of $844 million, well ahead of consensus expectations. Credit Suisse Wealth Management generated positive net new money inflows for the first time since the first quarter of 2022, contributing to inflows of $22 billion for UBS Global Wealth Management. Our clients have continued to place their trust and confidence in us, contributing to strong inflows across wealth management and our Swiss franchise," CEO Sergio Ermotti said in a statement. This is then slightly offset by heavier provisions," they noted, adding that the acceleration of Wealth Management net new money inflows in September was also "encouraging."

The good news for UBS and Morgan Stanley is that they are better placed than most to handle these pressures. The bank’s wealth-management business generated a 35% ROTE, while the division that houses investment banking and trading managed just 8%.

Some of the jobs lost could be people who left as part of Credit Suisse's own cost cutting plans before the takeover or who jumped ship as confidence in the lender collapsed. Further jobs could be lost, with UBS saying in August it planned to cut3,000 jobs in Switzerland alone at the enlarged bank.

That’s one lesson from the $3 billion slide in market value for his bank UBS (UBSG.S) on Wednesday. The report says that the DOJ is launching a full-scale investigation into Credit Suisse, which UBS now owns after a state-backed rescue in March. UBS has about $6 billion of provisions set aside for legal and regulatory bills, suggesting shareholders are well protected against Credit Suisse’s historic nasties. After Wednesday’s slide, UBS’s share price is almost exactly in line with its most recent tangible book value per share, compared with a roughly 30% premium back in early March. The implication is that investors are less excited about UBS’s prospects after incorporating Credit Suisse than they were about its standalone story.
