The decline continues… they are getting worse each year and will become what the UBS IB has always been, simply a service for wealth management clients without significant origination capability. For full year 2024, they rank at or below 2024 1H for the main metrics below. There is no momentum and look for the slide to continue into 2025.

That’s all ancient history
Wow they were legit 20 years ago
They might be lower now
No, couldn’t be me
No, but primarily because they haven't fired all of the tech team yet.
Never trust bald men
the universal truth is that senior bankers make terrible businessmen. they think they are good businessmen because in deals they can command juniors at will and move valuations with simple clicks, but to actually nurture and run a business you need more than that.
No because bonus was disappointing
Spring cleaning anyone?

Nope
