Just-In: UBS Opts For New CEO; Credit Suisse Takeover To Delay?

Published by

Credit Suisse Takeover: As the Credit Suisse takeover deal hits the delay, the UBS Group AG on Wednesday announced that they will be replacing Ralph Hamers as its CEO. The Investment banking company named Sergio Ermotti to replace the former chief just before the Credit Suisse acquisition deal.

Credit Suisse Deal In Trouble?

Sergio Ermotti, the veteran banker has served UBS as CEO for straight nine years. He stepped down from his position in 2020. However, Ralph Hamer, now former CEO will remain as an advisor till the transition period.

This development comes in when the reports of Swiss bank rivals are looking to capitalise on the turmoil. Reports suggest that the rivals are trying to poach clients and bankers of the collapsed bank. Weeks ago UBS accepted to acquire Credit Suisse in a $3.25 billion rescue deal. However, the takeover will be supported by Swiss Authorities. Read Crypto Market News Here…

UBS reportedly stated that as new challenges and priorities are emerging since the declaration of the Credit Suisse takeover, Ermotti’s prior experience would help them to restructure the bank. Sergio Ermotti is ideal to pursue the integration of Credit Suisse as he holds a deep understanding of the financial services industry globally, it added.

According to reports, several wealth managers are offering jobs to affected bankers. Financial Times named Julius Baer, Pictet, and Lombard Odier to be involved in this process. While one of the senior executives at a top five Swiss bank stated that UBS is just offering five years of insecurity in a highly competitive environment.

It is expected that Credit Suisse employees are anticipated job cuts when UBS integration takes place. A rival bank executive reportedly claimed that he knew a Suisse team of around 15 people who are looking for an exit.
