UBS sees departure of five private bankers

Four client advisers at UBS’s Swiss Financial Advisers unit and one relationship manager in acquisitions unit of the bank’s wealth management business have left.

A spokeswoman for UBS confirmed the departures and said they have since been replaced.

Earlier reports suggested that the five were joining Clariden Leu, a Credit Suisse subsidiary. This has since been denied by a spokesman from Clariden Leu.

Swiss Financial Advisers provides financial advice to US tax payers interested in setting up an account in Switzerland and is compliant with the US Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the spokeswoman said.

Relocation, relocation, relocation

Banks have never been shy of firing staff at the merest whiff of a downturn. First the fat, then the muscle and finally the bone. In the past, cuts have been so deep that firms have found it hard to benefit when the markets rebounded, paying over the odds to restaff at speed. Such wild oscillations in staffing numbers are known as “doing a Merrill”.
