What UBS does

Switzerland's largest bank, providing global wealth management, investment banking, and asset management, after acquiring Credit Suisse.

Earns mostly from fees on money it manages for wealthy clients plus interest on their loans and deposits, with a smaller investment bank. It absorbed Credit Suisse in 2023 in a deal brokered by the Swiss government, and is still merging the two banks' clients and systems while Swiss regulators press for higher capital.

In one line: A Swiss Morgan Stanley/Merrill Lynch wealth-management giant.
