  • UBS CEO Speaks at the Deutsche Bank Global Financial Services Conference
    UBS CEO speaks at the Deutsche Bank Global Financial Services Conference Q&A discussion 30 May 2018 Speakers: Sergio P. Ermotti, UBS Group AG CEO and Kinner Lakhani, Deutsche Bank head of European banks research Kinner Lakhani: Okay, good morning everyone! Welcome again to Deutsche Bank’s 8th Global Financial Services Conference. My name is Kinner Lakhani, I run the European banks research effort, and it is a great pleasure to have with us today UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti. So I thought maybe I will kick off with a few questions, and then hopefully the audience can come in and ask whatever questions they have. So we have 45 minutes this morning, so thanks again Sergio, for joining us. I guess thinking about strategic developments over the last 12 months, we have probably had the largest wealth management merger since UBS SBC, albeit an internal merger between your wealth management and wealth management Americas business. So I wonder if you could maybe spend a few minutes to map out what you see in the short term, maybe more in the medium term, as the opportunities for the group, perhaps both from a strategic perspective, from a cost perspective, and from a revenue perspective. Sergio P. Ermotti: Yes, actually if you think about that, the decision was almost a natural evolution of what happened in the last few years with the U.S. businesses and the international businesses, reshaping themselves into the new paradigm, and in the last two years they have been starting to converge in terms of how they look at services, how they look at products.

  • Barclays Settles Two LIBOR Cases
    Banking litigation Update Barclays settles two LIBOR cases Barclays is reported to have settled two mis-selling claims involving allegations of LIBOR-rigging, including the Graiseley Properties case, which was about to go to trial. In an Update in December 2013, we discussed the status and implications of two cases concerning the alleged mis-selling of LIBOR-related derivatives products. The Court of Appeal had recently allowed the Graiseley and Unitech parties in ongoing proceedings against, respectively, Barclays Bank PLC and Deutsche Bank AG to amend their pleadings so as to incorporate allegations of LIBOR manipulation on the part of the banks. It has since been reported in the press that the Graiseley case was due to go to trial at the end of April 2014, and that high-profile figures including Bob Diamond and other former Barclays senior executives were due to be called as witnesses. Cross-examination was expected to include questioning on a number of potentially embarrassing documents that the bank had disclosed as part of the normal litigation process, and the trial was scheduled to last six weeks. As such, the case was likely to have attracted a good deal of attention from the media and investment communities. Further information However, it has recently been reported that Barclays has settled not only the If you would like further information Graiseley claim but also a further mis-selling claim involving allegations of on any issue raised in this update LIBOR manipulation, brought by a Portuguese construction and property group, please contact: Domingos da Silva Teixeira.
