UBS Forex ST

Does UBS just suck at everything? So if you get two offers, one from UBS, another from a boutique, you would always go with the boutique?

I understand that UBS is going through alot of struggles, but it is still a big firm with a big balance sheet and might offer analysts great training?

What are your thoughts?

I think the answer is no, they don't suck at everything.

Solid in M&A and institutional asset management. Fixed Income, obviously small player especially post October 2012, but still present despite what some newspapers write.

Their fixed Income capability is non-existent and, at times, even dysfunctional nowadays, if you ask me. With the exception of CHF, of course.

What do you base that on? Apart from the newspapers of course... .
