UBS Group is downsizing its presence in The Bahamas after a detailed assessment of its international locations. The move will not affect the Bahamas-based entity UBS Trustees (Bahamas).
“Based [on] consideration of economic viability, UBS Group has decided to decommission the Bahamas subsidiary, UBS (Bahamas) Ltd,” the firm said in a statement.
Working with the Ministry of Financial Services of The Bahamas, UBS said the wind-down process is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, clients will be offered the option to transfer their
assets to other booking centers within the UBS Group or to their preferred
service provider, the firm said, adding: “A plan is in place for
affected employees, and a considerable number staff will be
offered employment in other roles and locations across UBS
Group.”
