UBS Americas

UBS Americas now generates roughly $12 billion in annual revenue, catapulting it into the top-8 US investment banks after the transformative 2023 acquisition of Credit Suisse for $3.25 billion. That deal doubled the firm's scale overnight, absorbing Credit Suisse's substantial US investment banking and wealth management operations and creating the world's largest wealth manager with $5.7 trillion in invested assets. This revenue figure is nearly four times that of #10 Lazard, which manages about $3 billion, and places UBS firmly ahead of the typical top-10 firm in terms of asset gathering. The integration has driven a 35% increase in fee income from advisory and underwriting since the merger closed, propelling the combined Americas franchise to a leading position in US investment banking fee rankings—outperforming all but seven rivals by total revenue.
