    UBS: Wealth Management BACHELOR THESIS (CASE STUDY) UBS: THE WAY TO BECOMING A GLOBAL PLAYER IN WEALTH MANAGEMENT "On which critical foundational factors are UBS and its leadership in Wealth Management built and with which major event is the current UBS crisis to be explained?" AUTHOR: ALAIN NTJAM OLTEN, AUGUST 9, 2013 SUPERVISOR: DR. KONDOVA GALIA INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT Alain Ntjam August 2013 1 UBS: Wealth Management Abstract Purpose: The objective of this bachelor thesis is to analyze in a case study manner, how the big Swiss bank UBS evolved and became a global player in wealth management. The guiding research question is: ‘On which critical foundational factors is UBS and its leadership in wealth management built, and with through which major event can the current UBS crisis be explained? Methodology and approach: The first analytical tool of this paper is the PEST analysis that aims to find out which environmental condition in the 1990s facilitated the UBS merger and how it came to the merger. The motives for its direction of growth will be analyzed to understand the bank's strategic intent in regards to wealth management and the bank's growth path. The next chapter seeks to understand the corporate ‘one firm strategy’ of UBS, how it relates to its organizational chart and which role the North American wealth management market plays within the organization. Further a comparison to Credit Suisse is made. The last chapter within the main part of the thesis attempts to sort out the significant activities of the value chain which creates or adds wealth management value for clients.

    White House Interview Program DATE: July 8, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: LLOYD CUTLER INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar With Nancy Kassop MK: May we tape? LC: Yes, but I’d like to have one understanding. I have been misquoted on more than one occasion. I’ll be happy to talk to you about what I think about the transition but I don’t want my name attached to any of it. MK: Okay. So we’ll come back to you for any quotes. We’re going to look at both aspects: the transition itself and then the operations of the office. Working on the theory that one of the things that would be important for people is to understand how an effective operation works, what should they be aiming toward? For example, what is a smooth-running counsel’s office? What are the kinds of relationships that should be established and that sort of thing? So, in addition to looking at the transition, we’re just hoping they’re looking toward effective governance. In your time in Washington, observing many administrations from various distances, you have a good sense of transitions, what works and what doesn’t work. One of the things we want to do is isolate what are the elements of success—just take a number, six elements, five elements—that you think are common to successful transitions. What makes them work? LC: Well, the most important thing to grasp first is how much a White House itself, especially as it starts off after a change in the party occupying the White House, resembles a city hall.

Ultimately the material goes into a presidential library; it will go into the [Jimmy] Carter Library. We’re working with the National Archives on it. The full interviews don’t come out publicly until 2001, when a new President comes in, and also you’ve had a chance to go over the transcript. GR: Okay. MK: It’s going to be used in various ways. It’s a group of presidency scholars and we’re doing profiles of seven offices. We’ve selected seven offices. And we’ll go back over time to the [Richard] Nixon administration, and profile what the functions have been, the responsibilities, different ways in which they’ve been organized.

INTRODUCTION Survivors of the Holocaust have repeatedly attempted, with little apparent success, to recover the assets their families deposited in Swiss banks prior to World War II. Considering the claimants' subsequent-yet understandable lack of documentation,- until now these survivors have had to rely solely on the banks' promises to expedite the return of these "dormant accounts" to their rightful owners.' Reliance on such promises, however, quickly evaporated with the public disclosure of one man's experience: Christoph Meili.4 A security guard for the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), Meili became an international figure early in 1997.
