UBS Group AG is a Swiss bank that helps wealthy individuals, companies, and governments manage their money. Its main businesses include wealth management, investment banking, and asset management — serving clients in over 50 countries. UBS is one of the largest wealth managers in the world, overseeing trillions of dollars in client assets.

UBS earns money through fees on assets it manages, commissions on trades, interest on loans, and advisory fees for deals like mergers and acquisitions. The company is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and operates heavily across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Its biggest competitive advantage is its long-standing relationships with ultra-wealthy clients, which are hard for rivals to break. A key growth driver is expanding its wealth management business in Asia, where rising wealth is creating new clients — but a major risk is its 2023 emergency takeover of Credit Suisse, which brought significant financial and operational challenges that are still being worked through.
