On 20 November, the Zurich-listed banking group said it was restructuring its wealth and asset management leadership, making executive board appointments that included putting private banking and asset management into a single division, coming at a time when Switzerland’s second-biggest bank has been looking to cut costs and streamline how it works.

The private banking and asset management divisions are being combined to form what the firm calls its Private Banking & Wealth Management Division. Hans-Ulrich Meister and Robert Shafir will partner in leading it, Credit Suisse said.
