I think the Toronto team is still there?? Lol
Some jokers getting promoted there too
Why are ppl ms-ing me? Please look up the Toronto team, their profiles still say CS Toronto
CS Toronto has no senior bankers of note left
Bump
Very interested. Can someone from actual UBS or CS please comment?
Most have left to Santander
false, some have left to Santander, particularly some M&A, and HC seniors. HC at UBS was and will remain weak, so not the biggest difference, the FSG CS folks mostly went to WF, not Santander. Santander also had a lot of junior hires, but that doesn't matter at all for deal flow.
Edit : West Coast REGL people also joined, but still nowhere near most leaving to join Santander.
Tom Davidov and a lot of the West Coast REGL guys took off to Santander. Davidov was the west coast sponsors juggernaut.
Jon Levin, Stephanie Sze, Robin Rankin, Diron Jebejian
Stephanie Sze is not a rainmaker. She joined a couple years ago from Barclays and hasn't really done a remarkable job
This article provides a pretty good summary of the integrated UBS / CS investment bank: https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/ubs-rejigs-investment-bank-bid…
The new IB leadership is a blend of new folks from Barclays and Credit Suisse, as well as incumbents at UBS – should be interesting to see if / how things work out. edit Also worth mentioning Steve Pettigrew, co-head of software banking at BofA and joined UBS this past July. In summary, surprising inflow of senior bankers to a platform that explicitly de-prioritizes IB in favor of WM, especially under Ermotti.
Seemingly a large chunk of CS dealmakers are left then? 12/40 senior hires being CS is a lot, especially considering there were significant senior Barclays hiring. TMT seems like the group most strengthened by far, wonder what other groups are now good. Also not mentioned in this article but came up on a Google search, Richard Casavechia the former Global Chairman of Barclays was hired as Head of Americas for Global Banking.
If anyone here cares about Singapore/SEA, what I'm seeing is that UBS pretty much brought over everyone from CS IBD - not all that surprising given that CS was one of the strongest in Singapore and UBS... really wasn't.
Nope... more than half of the MDs have left to Deutsche/Jefferies...
Cause UBS is Hong Kong?
Know a hardo associate there who I'd imagine most juniors dislike him and think he's overcompensating.
I left for Evercore if anyone’s curious. Was a summer intern.
When did you intern at CS?
