Our business divisions
We serve our clients through three regionally focused divisions: Swiss Universal Bank, International Wealth Management, and Asia Pacific. These regional businesses are supported by two divisions specializing in investment banking capabilities: Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets.
