The acquisition of Credit Suisse has been the defining event for UBS in recent years:
: A global "bulge bracket" player focused on advisory, research, and capital markets access for corporate and institutional clients.
: Offers investment capabilities across traditional and alternative asset classes for private clients, intermediaries, and institutional investors globally.
: The merger has solidified UBS as the only universal bank in Switzerland, holding roughly 35% of domestic deposits and 31% of corporate loans. UBS Global: UBS financial services around the globe
UBS operates through four primary business segments, plus a legacy wind-down unit following the Credit Suisse merger:
: The firm's flagship division and the world's largest truly global wealth manager, managing over $5 trillion in invested assets. It serves ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals worldwide.
: Provides a complete set of retail and commercial banking services in Switzerland, serving one in three Swiss households and 80% of Swiss banks.
: The merger is on track to be "substantially" complete by the end of 2026.
