UBS To Incur Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Penalties From Credit Suisse's Archegos Failures: Report

UBS Group AG UBS might face significant penalties for Credit Suisse's mishandling of Archegos Capital following the completion of the acquisition last week.

UBS faces hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties over Credit Suisse's mishandling of Archegos Capital after Swiss, U.S., and U.K. regulators completed their investigations into the affair, reported Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter.

The bank urged Switzerland's Finma, the U.S. Federal Reserve, and the U.K.'s Prudential Regulation Authority to publish their conclusions and announce any fines together at the end of July, mentioned the sources.
