UBS AG, trading in the United States under the ticker OUBSF, is a global financial services firm headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.

UBS caters to a broad client base ranging from ultra-high-net-worth individuals to large institutions and corporate entities, offering tailored solutions in advisory, lending, trading, and custody services.
The modern UBS emerged in 1998 from the merger of Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Bank Corporation, though its roots date back to the mid-19th century. Following the financial crisis of 2008, UBS strengthened its capital base and refocused on wealth management and wealth management advisory services. Over the years, the firm has streamlined operations, invested in digital platforms and expanded its product suite to include sustainable investing and fintech-driven solutions.
With a presence in over 50 countries, UBS serves clients across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Its Wealth Management arm is recognized as one of the world’s largest, providing services such as portfolio management, estate planning, financing and alternative investments. The Asset Management division offers mutual funds, hedge funds, real estate and exchange-traded products to institutional investors, retail clients and intermediaries globally.
UBS is led by Chief Executive Officer Ralph Hamers and overseen by a Board of Directors chaired by Colm Kelleher. The firm places a strong emphasis on innovation, sustainability and risk management, integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles across its product offerings. Through strategic acquisitions, partnerships and digital investments, UBS continues to enhance its reach and service capabilities for a diverse, international clientele.
