UBS had 2 multi-billion-dollar clients pull their money out from its massive Americas wealth business, driving overall fourth-quarter outflows
wealth business in the Americas late last year, driving the lion's share of a global $4.7 billion in outflows from the bank's wealth management arm during the fourth quarter, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Those two Americas clients were "very low-margin accounts," Gardner said, suggesting they were not accounts that were immediately profitable to the business. He highlighted that full-year net new money of $31 billion was "particularly strong" into Asia-Pacific, a region where the wealth management unit hopes to expand.
UBS has long been a leader in managing money of the world's ultra-wealthy clients, and has more recently emerged as the firm's more stable business while its investment bank struggles.
