Credit Suisse: what next for the crisis-hit bank? | FT Film

The Credit Suisse story is about how finance went wrong at one of Switzerland's most important institutions and one of the most important banks in Europe. It's a tale of high-profile scandals, from corporate espionage to cocaine smugglers and oligarchs. But what does the future hold for the venerable institution? Credit Suisse's new chairman, Financial Times reporters and banking industry experts explain it all. Read more at on.ft.com/3PrvpZe

The bank crisis isn't over yet, and experienced individuals know credit crises don't end quickly. Some find it amusing that some think it's resolved, but in reality, we're headed for a major economic downturn due to this credit contraction.

[@Peterl4290]

After the '08 financial crisis, I've learned not to trust corporations. Since 2020, I've been investing with a financial advisor and have had no major losses, so I'm not going back to relying solely on banks.

[@bobwright-90]

A common oversight is that banks operate solely in the service of yield. Personally, I am hesitant to keep substantial sums of money in a bank. Instead, I opt to invest under the guidance of experts, reap the advantages, and diligently save for my retirement.

That's grand! I believe the high-value gains are backed by years of study/experience in knowing what makes what tick. the portfolio-advisor that guides you is who though?

This bank crisis is so far from being over. Anyone who has been around for longer than 12 years, knows a credit crisis isn't over in two weeks. Makes me laugh seeing folks thinking this was all over so quickly. We are seeing a credit contraction that is gonna lead to a major contraction.

[@rogerwheelers4322]

It's often overlooked that banks are also corporate entities driven by greed. One of the contributing factors to current bank crisis is the banks' excessive leveraging of assets. However, on the advantageous aspect, economic downturns offer numerous prospects for ordinary individuals to create wealth from the ground up. Nevertheless, seeking guidance from an investment planner might be necessary if you desire a more assertive return.

CS in Japan in the aughts. The BOJ did surprise inspections of most of the banks. They were looking to punish banks for excessive jpy trading and were sanctioning banks for any compliance/regulatory exception no matter how small. The way they did the audit was the banks provided a floor map of the offices and the BOJ went through the rooms one by one, ticking them off as they went. So what CS did was they altered the floor map to leave out one room. Then they put all of their objectionable, non-compliant files in that room. They nearly got away with it but the BOJ noticed there was a locked door they never had been through. Just another example of their rogue behaviour …

It is advisable to steer clear of cons that appear improbable.

I worked at CS this summer - my manager was an absolute corporate psychopath. I reported him, but the investigation was swept under the carpet.

I also worked in CS a few years ago and had a great team and exemplary management. People I worked with deeply cared about quality and process. Your comment is superficial, you cannot judge an entire company of such size according to your very limited experience and visibility. It's obvious that not everybody is "good" or "bad", like everywhere in the world. Credit Suisse's top management made several big mistakes and now the company is going to pay for that. It will take a long time to recover, if ever. But those who will carry the most weight are the employees that probably did not deserve it. So I don't feel like commenting as Mr. Kiril Mihaylov did below with his shameful "let them sink", without thinking about all those who will lose their job.

The stock market is not going to recover or protect what you pay for stock any better than cash. With inflation, cash is falling in value vs cost of living. No company on the stock market is protected from risk bar the big non-tech stocks like the large consumer brands (which will also see a slowing demand and higher cost of production). Better to invest your cash under $250K so its protected by FDIC. US gilts at present are not going fall in value unless interest and inflation rates fall too fast.

The very top level management are going the right way but risk and compliance needs to be embedded in every day in every way. And that takes breaking up the mini empires running in CS. It may take a mass firing to get rid of those people.

This documentary only serves to confirm that wise old adage "never believe anything until it is officially denied". Turning to Deutsche Bank, this was once a solid, reliable and conservatively run bank. Things went wrong when it decided to embrace the Wall Street and City of London culture of casino investment banking.

After the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Credit Suisse built a big IT center in Raleigh, NC to decentralize itself from having all its US operation being in the NYC area. It was a major employer in Raleigh. I did not work there. In the 2020 pandemic recession, I looked back at Credit Suisse to see if they were hiring. They had a few jobs but not much of interest. I looked elsewhere. I was not aware of their corporate demise. Wow.

You give little blame to Urs Rohner, chairman for +10, vice-chairman for 2 and head of legal/compliance for 5 years. He didn't have any vision, sense of business and performed even poorly in the area of his expertise. Unfortunately he's a smooth talker and excellent networker, which kept him in power for far too long.

24:32 more prescient words were never spoken. 16th March 2023 their stock is down 30% and will require taxpayer money to be bailed out. but the swiss are rich so i guess they don't care their money is being used, even for such frivolity.

[@JerzyFeliksKlein]

To be honest, in the end it felt like a hit piece rather than an independent journalism. For the first 19 minutes they cover every scandal of recent years and then criticize the bank for not retaining their "talent" with ridiculous incentives. Clearly, that "top talent" was responsible for these scandals in the first place so the responsible thing for a bank is to get rid of them. Why would you criticize it if you don't want to simply paint a portrait of the bank as being a complete disaster? It almost feels like all the people interviewed shorted Credit Suisse and are trying to erode any confidence in the bank.

People hate banks and trully not care about a Swiss firm making it back. In fact, people are fed up with the lack of accountability and would pretty much prefer scandalous bank leaders and their teams to see the insides of a prison cell for a few decades.

[@pascoett]

As a Swiss I disapprove to have a system relevant bank with foreign CEO’s who haven’t a connection to our country and traditions. If us taxpayers once again have to help Credit Suisse we should demand of them a severe code of conduct. A bank doesn’t need to be in the news.

[@markov1917]

You are absolutely right. It seems that it has become a fashion to have a foreigner to be a CEO. Just look at US !!!

[@jaapspruitenburg6625]

I feel you. Banking should improve a country and not undermine a country's culture. Mainly if a bank is in the news it means trouble and the greedy culture overtook the sustainable mindset of long-term growth. In the end, they just place bets and if they win they take the win, and if they lose, the house can pay.

[@markp1333]

I mean if you are thinking from a tax standpoint you should just want a CEO who can return the money back to you and restore the company back to its glory days. It shouldn’t matter if they are Swiss, American, British or etc.

I think the problem is simpler than that. When the banks make a profit or even break even the bosses get a massive bonus. When the banks lose money the bosses have to give their bonuses back. Just kidding, they still get a bonus but slightly smaller.

Investing in Alibaba would be more than recless at the moment, when China freezes foreign stock withdrawals, banks refusing to cash out its local people, tanks and APCs protecting even municipal banks and people protesting at bank buidings to get their money.

@@fatalityin1 Fully agree. Current country is Russia. Foreign assets (stocks etc.) are blocked.

[@fatalityin1]

@@thomasgood3472 I am no monetary adviser in any regard, but you are in my opinion correct. Russia tries to annex Kherson between the first of September and the 11th of September (I don't need to tell anyone why that date may be important for Russia), but Russia already lost, even China had to abandon them. During September their stocks are going to be the lowest, if Putin does not decide to make it an all out war about what country is going to survive, but I don't think of Putin as maniac who would destroy all of Russia (this is the point I am not so sure about). But after Russia admitted their defeat the west is going to start new trade routes with Russia, because Russia as country has access to some few rare elements nobody else in the world can provide.
