The End of Credit Suisse!

Sign up for The Daily Upside using this link: bit.ly/3LWKfZx
After a weekend of intense negotiations, Swiss authorities brokered an emergency deal to sell Credit Suisse the troubled 167-year-old investment bank to its Swiss rival, UBS. A $54bil lifeline from the Swiss National Bank last week failed to stem the crisis facing Credit Suisse following Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse: its share price collapsed and the flight of deposits accelerated. The deal has prevented a globally important bank from failing.
Under the terms of the deal, Credit Suisse’s additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds were written down to zero while shareholders received $3.25bn. In today's video we discuss whether that is fair and who owned those bonds.

Maybe give them a 10 year maturity instead of 5 and you've got the perfect motivator to run the bank well in the long run - run the bank well and you'll get solid interest payments AND the principal eventually. Run it into the ground and the most you can get is a couple year's worth of interest payments.

I feel quite lucky making that decision but it will be shocking seeing CS disappear, and even then I am concerned about the potential UBS monopoly.

As always, I had been looking forward to this video on the shotgun marriage of UBS and CS. It is by far the most informative of any I've read or watched, especially the CS AT1 bond, which no other financial media has detailed as Patrick does. When you get close to 10% of annual return on a bond, you have no excuse to complain when you are wiped out as you chose to ignore the prospectus.

[@Jim-Tuner]

The bondholders should be expected to be wiped out in such circumstances, but it was the decision in this case to wipe out the bondholders while not wiping out the shareholders that was controversial.

[@GameplayerCanal]

​@@Jim-Tuner I really don't get it why... The Shereholders got screwed as well, the bank was spelled by a fraction of it's value, they lost money just not all of it like bondholders. And I can see why, the bondholders where receiving 10% a yr exactly because of the risk, while shareholders expect that the bank would grow, they both got it wrong, but at the end the bank was still valued 3bn (money that goes to the Shareholders) while the bond got downed to zero (exactly what they are made for)

[@Jim-Tuner]

@@GameplayerCanal I think in retrospect the objection was calling what in reality were structured products "bonds". They never really met the definition of what a bond is and should not have been marketed as such. Words should mean things. And what was sold here was in no sense bonds. People buy high-yield bonds all the time and there is a general understanding of how those risks work. These "bonds" were more like unsecured loans being made to the bank.

[@pettahify]

​@@GameplayerCanal Yeah, 10% is veeery nice, and as such, it comes at a price

[@ComradeOgilvy1984]

@@Jim-Tuner "These "bonds" were more like unsecured loans being made to the bank." A not unreasonable perspective, but unsecured loans are generally senior to the stockholders. So these "bonds" are specifically the least secure investment, less secure than unsecured.

By not paying the AT1's it is not a bailout, but by giving the Shareholders a 60% 💈, it is a bailout, they have also guaranteed 10 billion or so in loans to UBS but that seems a good trade off compared to continued support for Credit Suisse which would have been more costly with any further delays, so it's the shareholder issue that's the problem!?!

[@hemaccabe4292]

@@thomasherrin6798 My comment is not evaluating the soundness of the policy, though, in fact, I’m not in favor. Just the hypocrisy of the Swiss government trying to hide the truth, that this is a bailout. I appreciate your position, but disagree. Haircuts happen all the time in mergers. The lack of an opportunity to vote by the shareholders is another sign this was a bailout.

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

People just love claiming this or that is a "bailout", but this deal is not a "bailout" in any sense. If anyone thinks otherwise, go ahead and give a definition of this emotive, rubbery, never-defined expression. The essence of "bailout" as usually used, is having public funds being transferred to individuals or corporations. That has not occurred here. Nor does favoring one type of investor over another constitute "a bailout", not least because the terms of the bond specified it. Nor are loans or loan guarantees "bailouts", and for the same reason. Perhaps the OP could state what truth was hidden by FINMA?

[@paxdriver]

What boggles me is the logic here - bond holders only lose if the business is mismanaged, but shareholders are protected, yet only shareholders can impact or oversee the operations of the business. Even without a vite, shareholders have internal access and can represent themselves at general meetings but bond holders just sit outside and wait for the professionals to release the selectively redacted minutes at best.

@@gigikontra7023 It wasn't. It was always in the contract of the bond. Watch the video again.

A minute of silence on the untimely demise of Debit Suisse... Thereby robbing Patrick of a lifetime of comedy material 😂

She worked in risk management for Suisse. I forget what her job was at FTX? She has some kind of resume now.

I was thinking after seeing Wallstreet Millenial's video on Credit Squeeze a few days ago that FTX obviously chose the risk management person from the right bank: one fraught with illegal scandals and bad investments.

[@tanias4877]

Wow, just wow ... thanks again Patrick for your analysis. BTW, I prefer this lighting used for the episode. Happy days all 🙂

[@A_friend_of_Aristotle]

Thank you, Patrick, for a very informative lesson. I was starting to get worked up about the treatment of CS's bond holders, but now that I know that the terms and agreements reserved these rights for the company I feel better. It's also a good lesson for us all: read the terms and agreements. If you don't want to get spanked like the Credit Suisse AT1 bond holders have been spanked, don't sign the agreement that makes it clear that a good spanking is one of the things you are agreeing to! 🙂

[@justanoman6497]

The bond being wiped is fine in and of itself, given that's how it's written. A high yield high risk product is perfectly fine. I don't like that it's called bond though, as that's not what we typically consider bonds to be. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that it's only available to institutional investors who can and should look beyond the name, but it's still a bad name.

[@Huskrrrr]

This sounds eerily similar to the BoA acquisition of Merrill Edge.

[@c0ttage]

did boa become the largest bank in the us after that? genuinely asking at the very least, it wasn't a monopoly after

Employes bond options were zeroed. This morning in all Swiss newspapers. But only ones that were not yet paid out... So (for now) the already payed out ones that also contributed to high risk taking are not affected.

Is Kevin O'Leary about to start handling media for Credit Suisse execs?

What effect will the suddenly crashing AT1 bond prices have in other countries, particularly Asian banks? It can't be good.

[@conservativemike3768]

Bond holders can partially recoup their losses by converting CS offices into luxury timeshares.

[@540chevhell9]

My parents (not domiciled in Switerland which is CS's home base) both had CS accounts a few years ago with about $US 400,000 combined funds in them. A CS rep' came all the way from Switzerland to discuss with them and dozens of other CS account holders in my country that unless they had $US 1 million in their accounts, CS were going to have to close all these accounts. Their accounts were very soon closed. Thousands of offshore CS clients had their accounts closed because they had less than $US 1 million in them!! Well CS you are a bunch of muppets without a doubt. You shat on thousands of your clients and karma has come back to shat on you.

[@michaelimbesi2314]

But of course. Credit Suisse doesn’t want to launder money for just anybody, they want the whales :P

[@hadensmith3323]

Disturbing on many levels, but for me what hit home was tech, a field which I have worked in for about 16 years and have just - happily - left. What really was tragic about tech was its financialization. So many companies more concerned with either an IPO or an inflation of their stock price than they were with creating value and solving problems. It led to all kinds of toxicity on the small scale, and lots of wasted money and talent on the large scale. But now I have come to understand that the reason tech has become like this is that it's a place to park cheap money.

[@Largecow_Moobeast]

Yes, but will ubs begin selling flip flops? The market won’t settle till we know this.

[@leskaighin8903]

Did anyone read the small print before buying? "Some investors just choose to ignore it," an expensive oversight. Very surprised shareholders were not wiped out first though.

[@Kevin_Street]

Thank you for another really interesting video! You really help all of us with these explanations of financial events.

I bet UBS & Credit Suisse were peaking through the blinds at each other. 👀

[@mikebaker2436]

My dad worked for Wells Fargo when it absorbed Norwest. It is amazing how much of the scandals can be traced back to that merger. I feel like Credit Suisse is going to be a similar thing for UBS.

[@gualbertino]

Excellent content as always. Thank you, Patrick.

[@sbfcapnj]

Patrick, you should be given an award for outstanding public service. Seriously.

[@briankrebs7534]

So with UBS obtaining indemnity for the legal liabilities of Credit Suisse, does this merger leave their potential claimants of any damages no legal recourse in the jurisdiction in which this indemnity was granted?

[@none3763]

no. indemnity means the swiss govt pay the legal liabilities and not the new ubs/credit suisse. patrick said the deal is that ubs/suisse is liable for the first 5 billion, and the swiss taxpayers pick up the next 9 billion after that.

[@Finderskeepers.]

UBS only have an indemnity not Credit Suisse or any other broker , so any claims against Credit Suisse or brokers are payable ASSUMING a claim is accepted failing which a ruling by a court with jurisdiction, thats my understanding of the deal. Time will tell, the Swiss government could make a new law as they threatened and obviously claims are expected with 9bn in the budget, hence the indemnity.

[@briankrebs7534]

@@none3763 lol nice, they're not even playing the "okay I'll just pay the fine" game anymore. "You'll pay my fines..." Appreciate the answer.

[@TheCakeIsALie422]

Hey Patrick! Video rocks, thank you. Watching this, and thinking about SVB and Credit Suisse over the last few weeks has me wondering… How common is it for huge swaths of value, or debt, to disappear, or get wiped out in transactions like this? Specifically in situations where there was some… incompetence…. In the risk management department? My background is in fraud, waste, and abuse, and a large amount of money going up in smoke in times of financial distress usually flags something for us when we are investigating a company. But I don’t know a lot about banks! so I’m asking you 😅
