UBS

UBS Group AG (NYSE:UBS) is a Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company founded in 1862 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. The bank was formed through various mergers and acquisitions over its 160-year history, with its current structure established in 2014 when UBS AG reorganized into UBS Group AG. In 2023, UBS completed one of the most significant transactions in modern banking history by acquiring Credit Suisse in an emergency rescue deal orchestrated by Swiss regulators. This acquisition dramatically expanded UBS's global footprint and transformed it into one of the world's largest wealth management and investment banking franchises, though it also brought substantial integration challenges and legacy risks that the bank continues to manage.
