UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher stated that the bank should not face retrospective penalties for its role in the Credit Suisse takeover, emphasizing that intervening to stabilize the financial system should be rewarded. He argued that a private resolution for global systemically important banks is preferable to government-brokered deals, despite acknowledging that such resolutions can be complex. Kelleher also noted that integration efforts are progressing well, focusing on technology and client migration in Asia.
US sanctions enforcement is intensifying, pressuring Swiss banks like UBS to comply strictly with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (Ofac) regulations. Recent inquiries into former Credit Suisse Russian clients highlight the complexities of legal obligations and banking secrecy, as banks aim to avoid severe penalties while navigating a challenging relationship with US authorities. The situation raises concerns about the protection of potentially suspicious clients and the future of attorney-client privilege in Switzerland.
UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti highlighted the significant challenge of migrating Credit Suisse customers to UBS"s platform, particularly in Switzerland, starting next year. The integration process, which includes over a million client relationships, is expected to take around 18 months. Ermotti emphasized the importance of technological advancements, especially artificial intelligence, in navigating the banking sector"s challenges while urging authorities to avoid imposing overly restrictive regulations on the enlarged UBS.

UBS has identified a preferred buying range for gold during price declines, recommending a 5% allocation in balanced portfolios. Despite recent market optimism, the bank warns of high political uncertainty under the new US administration, emphasizing gold"s role as a hedge against potential risks, including a declining US dollar and rising budget deficits. Continued demand from central banks and flows into gold-backed ETFs are expected to support gold prices in the coming months.
