Credit Suisse to prioritise wealth management profits

Chief executive Thomas Gottstein outlines the bank’s ‘ambitious and achievable growth agenda’

Credit Suisse has laid out plans to focus on increasing profit in its wealth management arm and investment bank, as part of a broad-based turnaround initiative to improve the Swiss lender’s fortunes.

In a 15 December investor update, the lender said it plans to boost wealth-related pre-tax profit from 4bn Swiss francs (£3.39bn) this year to between 5bn and 5.5bn CHF by 2023, representing annual growth of approximately 10%.
