UBS Group has returned to the US dollar Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bond market for the first time since regulatory changes were paused.
The new AT1 issue comes against a backdrop of strong investor demand for higher risk bank capital instruments.
In parallel, UBS is continuing substantial job cuts across EMEA as part of its ongoing integration of Credit Suisse.
UBS Group (SWX:UBSG), trading at around CHF37.45, is in the spotlight again as it balances funding decisions with a large scale integration. The stock is up 42.5% over the past year and 194.0% over five years, while year to date performance is down 1.9%. This gives investors a mixed but eventful recent record to weigh against the latest news.
The return to the dollar AT1 market and the continued EMEA job reductions both indicate a company still reshaping its capital structure and cost base after the Credit Suisse acquisition. For you as an investor, these moves may influence how you assess UBS’s future funding flexibility, potential cost savings, and the risk profile associated with its capital stack.

Key Considerations
📊 Returning to the US dollar AT1 market alongside EMEA job cuts signals that management is willing to use higher risk capital while pushing for a leaner cost base.
📊 Monitor AT1 pricing versus peers, progress on Credit Suisse cost savings, and whether the P/E of about 15.8 remains in line with the Capital Markets industry average of about 16.0.
⚠️ One flagged risk is that 51% of liabilities come from higher risk funding sources, which makes the structure and cost of new AT1 issuance particularly important.
