P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Credit Suisse has dissolved its Investment Services & Products (ISP) segment, according to information released by the financial sector news site finews, and subsequently confirmed by a spokesperson for the bank. Credit Suisse thus continues a restructuring of its Private Banking & Wealth Management division, which is based on the integration of Asset Management into the private bank. The bank has not released information about the cost of the restructuring, nor potential consequences for employees, who were informed during the day on Thursday. But savings are part and parcel of the efficiency programme, it states. The bank would like to reduce its basic costs by CHF4.4bn by the end of 2015. Last November, Credit Suisse merged the Private Banking and Asset Management divisions into the Private Banking & Wealth Management (PBWM) division, led by Hans-Ulrich Meister and Robert Shafir. Some observers deduced that ISP, the division previously led by Shafir, may be dissolved. According to finews, the new composition of PBWN will include three segments: Product Management, Sales and Trading Services, and Investment Strategy and Research. The first of these, led by Alastair Cairns, will aim to select products according to the regional needs of clients. The second, Sales and Trading Services, will be led by Yves-Alain Sommerhalder, Lastly, Investment Strategy and Research will be led by Michael Strobaek. Three other areas will be the responsibility of Shafir: Core Investment, Alternative Investments and private banking in the Americas, which will be directed by Philip Vasan. This will be led by Meister, who manages all Private Banking divisions. But for organisational reasons, it will be supervised by Shafir, who is based in New York.
