UBS Group (SWX:UBSG) is cutting up to 3,000 jobs in Switzerland as part of its integration of Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n

The bank plans a comparable number of new hires in India, shifting a meaningful portion of its global workforce footprint.<\/p>\n

UBS is expanding its wealth management presence across Asia, with a focus on Hong Kong and China as key growth regions.<\/p>\n

UBS, a global wealth and investment bank, is reshaping how and where it delivers services as it absorbs Credit Suisse and adjusts to competitive pressures in core markets.<\/p>\n

The ramp up in Asia wealth management hiring indicates that UBS is increasing its focus on client activity and asset growth potential across the region, while using India to support operations at scale. How effectively the bank executes on cost efficiencies in Switzerland and expansion in Asia may influence its longer term profitability profile and competitive position in global wealth management.<\/p>\n
