UBP to Cut 10% of Workforce This Year as Client Assets Decline
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 : PermalinkBloomberg – Union Bancaire Privee, the Swiss hedge-fund investor whose clients lost about $700 million with Bernard Madoff, plans to cut 10 percent of its workforce this year after assets under management declined.
“UBP should reduce its staff by 10 percent over the course of the year, from a headcount of 1,372 at the end of December, through redundancies, early retirements and not filling vacant positions,” said Jerome Koechlin, spokesman for the Geneva- based firm.
