UBS CEO Ermotti Sees ‘Witch Hunt’ Amid First Brands Fallout

UBS CEO Ermotti Defends Bank Amid First Brands Fallout

UBS Group AG Chief Executive Officer Sergio Ermotti defended his bank against criticism over exposure to bankrupt auto parts supplier First Brands Group.

“There is a little bit of witch hunting,”

Ermotti said in a Bloomberg TV interview, adding that investors were aware of the higher-risk strategies. He noted that comparing banks and strategies is totally inappropriate.

The failures of subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings and First Brands have highlighted credit losses, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon warning of potential similar cases.
