Credit Suisse Group AG said it has named Burkhard Varnholt as
global chief investment officer and chairman of the investment
committee to succeed Michael Strobaek, who opted to pursue a new
opportunity outside Credit Suisse.
The troubled Swiss bank said Thursday that Mr. Varnholt, who has
served as deputy global chief investment officer and vice-chairman
of the investment committee since 2016, would replace Mr. Strobaek
from May 8.
Mr. Varnholt will report to Francesco De Ferrari, chief
executive of wealth management, and join the management committee
of the wealth management division.
Credit Suisse has seen years of financial and reputational
missteps that led to substantial customer outflows in recent
months. Those withdrawals accelerated when the collapse of Silicon
Valley Bank focused attention on the weakest links among global
banks.
UBS Group AG recently agreed to take over Credit Suisse for $3.2
billion, a move endorsed by Swiss regulators who sought to avert
further damage to the banking system.
