UBS' shareholders structure can be found here.

UBS was formed through a merger of the Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation in June 1998. UBS is headquartered in Zurich and Basel, and is the world's largest manager of private wealth assets. The bank provides a range of financial services, including investment banking and asset management to corporate, private, and institutional clients.

On March 19th 2023, Swiss President Alain Berset and the Swiss central bank announced that the ailing Swiss bank Credit Suisse is taken over by competitor UBS. The acquisition involves an amount of CHF 3 billion.
