Credit Suisse's M&A revenues tumbled by 34% in the second quarter as the Swiss bank battled to stem an exodus of senior dealmakers.

The decline, to CHF112m during the three-month period, comes amid a deal boom that has seen European rivals including Deutsche Bank and UBS more than double revenues and Wall Street banks including JPMorgan haul in record fees.
