The Benchmark – Episode 2: The Merger
In the second episode of The Benchmark, we discuss the shock merger of UBS and Credit Suisse: how might the deal work, and what are the implications for investment banking and wealth management? We also explore the wider banking crisis and what it means for bank capital and liquidity regulation. Fredrik Creutz, co-founder of fintech NowCM, joins us to discuss what recent events might mean for greater innovation in the market. The editorial team has also been evaluating what is going on in commercial real estate and whether this really is the next shoe to drop.
