UBS wealth unit takes £33m hit on rogue trades

UBS has been forced to stump up £33m (€37m) after staff in its London-based wealth management division used client accounts to make unauthorised trades in precious metals and foreign exchange. The UK market regulator slammed UBS for its "inadequate systems and controls" in a wide-ranging critique of the business.

The Financial Services Authority fined UBS £8m, the third largest penalty in its history.
