Comments made in December by Credit Suisse's Chairman that client outflows had stopped triggered a review by Finma. The regulator has issued its decision.

When Credit Suisse released its annual results in February showing that clients had further withdrawn funds, it led to reactions in the financial markets. [statement](https://www.credit-suisse.com/about-us-news/en/articles/media-releases/credit-suisse-informs-on-finma-review-202303.html) that it was informed by Finma of its decision not to open regulatory proceedings.

Credit Suisse, considered by investors as "the weakest link" in Swiss banking, saw its share price plunge Monday as markets were lashed by fears surrounding ...

That came against a backdrop of massive withdrawals of funds by its clients, including in the wealth management sector -- one of the activities on which the bank intends to refocus. Credit Suisse has already lost 81 percent of its value since it was rocked by the bankruptcy of the British financial firm Greensill in March 2021 -- the first in a series of scandals that have weakened the Zurich-based bank. The bank's stock has repeatedly convulsed as it undergoes a major restructuring effort, and the bank has continued to see its value drop. "In the US, the market is looking at which are the second weakest" banks, "and in Switzerland it is obvious that Credit Suisse is the weakest link," Andreas Venditti, an analyst at Swiss investment managers Vontobel, told AFP, explaining why Credit Suisse may have taken such a beating Monday. Shares in Switzerland's second biggest bank fell rapidly on the Swiss stock exchange, plummeting by as much as 14.6 percent on Monday to a record low of 2.115 Swiss francs. In Switzerland, Credit Suisse's main rival UBS saw its shares shed 7.66 percent to 17.71 francs a piece, dragging down the Swiss stock exchange's main SMI index by over one percent.

Credit Suisse shares sank to a new low Monday on fears about the ability of banks to hang onto deposits following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

It raised $4 billion in new shares last year to give it a bigger cushion to absorb ongoing quarterly losses.\n\nUnlike SVB, Credit Suisse has little in the way of held-to-maturity bonds on its books according to Jefferies analysts. The cost to insure its five-year debt rose to 450 basis points, meaning it would cost 450 euros to insure €10,000 of the bank's senior debt against default for a year, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data.\n\nCredit Suisse was already under pressure in recent months.

In a further reflection of investor concern about Credit Suisse's outlook, the price of some of its bonds fell sharply, with some at record lows.

«We decided that if we were going to onshore the business, we would differentiate ourselves by being a multi-asset class business that looked at both sides of the balance sheet. According to Marr, most of the Australian wealth market was very brokerage-oriented at the time Credit Suisse formed its onshore business with a focus on domestic equities. «In my view, you can’t serve the Australian market with just two or three people. This was due to the rare break from the negative correlation between stocks and bonds, a phenomenon we’ve not seen in our professional lifetimes,» Marr said. To respond to this demand, Credit Suisse is in the process of developing an Australian private equity offering with top local managers. «Rigorous deal selection and due diligence form a key part of our process,» Marr said.

But if this is how they handle a bagatelle issue, then it seems more than likely they will continue to misjudge, and even miss the larger, more significant ones. The SEC was more likely than not to have made the comment earlier. If it did, that would then be something to worry about. All reports are comprehensively reviewed by internal and external accountants, down to a final page-by-page turn where every number being printed is read out and comforted by the teams involved, or at least used to be. It was a fact clearly lost on the American regulator. As finews.asia has extensively reported, this was all a supposed example of zero tolerance by Credit Suisse’s new leadership after years of losses and debacles, most of which were of its own making.
