Julius Baer plays down trading incident as 'minor'

Julius Baer Friday played down an anonymous letter sent to Switzerland's banking regulator alerting the body to alleged irregularities in valuing fixed income trading positions.

"This is a minor incident and financially completely irrelevant," Julius Baer executive Hans de Gier said of the letter, seen by Dow Jones Newswires, at a press conference in Zurich.
