UBS fined nearly $400 mn over Credit Suisse's relationship with Archegos

Swiss banking giant UBS will pay nearly USD 400 million in fines to US, Swiss and UK banking authorities for the management failures of Credit Suisse, which UBS bought in June, related to how Credit Suisse handled its relationship with collapsed hedge fund Archegos Capital Management. Archegos failed in 2021, costing Wall Street banks billions of dollars in losses, and Credit Suisse took the brunt of the losses. The Swiss bank took more than USD 5 billion in losses from Archegos' failure, which over a period of two years, ultimately led to the fire sale of Credit Suisse to UBS in June. Credit Suisse management was found to give Archegos special treatment through its prime brokerage division, which caused the bank to take on undue risk when Archegos purchased a highly concentrated position in ViacomCBS. The firm's manager, Bill Hwang, is scheduled to face fraud charges for the collapse of Archegos in October. Credit Suisse failed to adequately manage the risk posed by Archegos despit

Fair-trade regulator Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Thursday cleared the proposed merger of Credit Suisse Group AG with UBS Group AG. Both Credit Suisse Group AG (Credit Suisse) and UBS Group AG (UBS) are multinational investment banks and financial services companies founded and based in Switzerland. The transaction entails UBS' proposed acquisition of Credit Suisse by way of an absorption merger with UBS being the surviving legal entity, according to CCI. Post transaction, all Credit Suisse's assets, liabilities, and contracts will be transferred to UBS in their entirety. The proposed transaction has been necessitated due to Credit Suisse's financial difficulties, CCI said. Deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices in the marketplace.
