The story

Credit Suisse Brasil was historically one of the top investment banks in Brazil, with a strong equities, M&A advisory, private banking and Lombard-lending franchise built around ultra-wealthy Brazilian families and corporates. Following the emergency UBS acquisition of Credit Suisse Group in June 2023, the Brazilian entities (Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A. and the CCTVM broker-dealer) are being integrated into UBS's Brazil wealth-management and investment-banking platform. Headcount has already contracted materially (-27.9% YoY per LinkedIn data). The strategic identity is shifting from a standalone Brazilian franchise to the local execution arm of UBS's global wealth-management thesis.
