ZURICH (Reuters) - Challenging market conditions could be set to improve, Credit Suisse Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam said on Wednesday.

"We are protecting returns during volatile markets to provide significant upside when conditions improve and there's good reason to believe that they are improving," Thiam said in a presentation for the Swiss bank's investor day.

Earlier, Credit Suisse pledged to cut another 1 billion Swiss francs ($991.5 million) in costs and pared back profit targets amid challenging markets which have made it harder for banks to make money.
