UBS’s Iqbal Khan on shaking up world’s biggest wealth manager
The timing of Iqbal Khan’s arrival at UBS, the world’s biggest wealth manager, late last year could have been very unfortunate — the Covid-19 pandemic struck just three months after the high-flying Swiss private banker took up his new top job. Powering the increase was a 41 per cent gain in pre-tax profits to $1.2bn in the dominant global wealth management division, where Mr Khan was appointed co-head alongside UBS veteran Tom Naratil.

Credit Suisse warns over coronavirus uncertainties after Q1 earnings beat
Credit Suisse has bulked up on provisions for expected credit losses and cautioned over uncertainty during the coronavirus outbreak, even as it posted a 75% rise in first-quarter net profit on Thursday, far outpacing expectations. The first major European lender to report earnings since the pandemic upended markets and brought businesses and economies to a halt, Credit Suisse said it built up over one billion Swiss francs in reserves during the quarter to reflect the challenging environment and pressure on oil prices. "I'm actually taking a lot of comfort in how we have managed so far in this crisis... We are very cautious, we are very aware of the overall slowdown in the economy," said Thomas Gottstein, presenting the bank's results for the first time since taking over as chief executive from Tidjane Thiam in February.

Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse will postpone paying out part of their 2019 dividends until later this year after mounting pressure from authorities over lenders' payouts during the coronavirus epidemic. The two banks were the remaining major European lenders to resist requests to change their dividend policy.
