Switzerland remains the leading country in offshore wealth management, managing $2,174 billion for international clients, though its lead over the UK and US has diminished due to Credit Suisse's collapse, which caused $183 billion in outflows. While Switzerland retains its appeal for European and Middle Eastern clients, the stability of its banking market has been shaken, and the importance of local banking is rising globally.
Switzerland's appeal to wealthy clients is waning, with foreign assets under management dropping to $2.174 trillion in 2023 from $2.624 trillion in 2020, according to Deloitte. The fallout from Credit Suisse's collapse has eroded confidence, particularly among clients from Europe and the Middle East, while the country's traditional advantages are losing significance. Although Switzerland remains the top offshore wealth hub, its market share has decreased, with competitors like the U.S. and the U.K. closing the gap.
UBS has swiftly lowered interest rates on money market accounts following recent cuts by the Swiss National Bank, reducing rates for personal and business clients from 0.85% to 0.65%.

The bank's ability to quickly adapt its systems highlights the significant financial implications of these changes, retaining a notable interest rate difference calculated in billions.

The firm, managing €141 billion globally, is owned by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.
UBS has faced backlash from its employees after former Credit Suisse (CS) executives retained their higher salaries post-merger, leading to discontent among UBS staff. In response, UBS management has increased salaries for certain UBS employees by up to CHF 20,000, despite claims of a strict pay-for-performance policy. This move comes as UBS aims to save $13 billion by 2026, with a significant portion attributed to rising salary and bonus costs.
