About Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse is a Swiss bank that was founded 150 years ago in Zurich, Switzerland, and initially started as a lending and private banking business. Its headquarters are based in Zurich but investment banking businesses are effectively run from the major financial centers in London, New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

The bank divides itself in three global divisions: private banking, investment banking and asset management. In Europe, the investment banking division is effectively run from its Canary Wharf offices in London. The investment banking division is further split into “investment banking” (equity and debt underwriting, and M&A advisory), “global securities” (fixed income, equities, arbitrage, etc.) and “research”. The bank has offices is more than 50 countries with a strong presence in USA and Asia.

Credit Suisse is a part of the “bulge bracket” of investment banks. The firm was praised during the financial crisis for its prudent risk management and for not requiring any government support. In 2009, Credit Suisse was recognized as “Bank of the Year” by the International Financing Review and “Best Global Bank 2010” by Euromoney. Credit Suisse went through numerous mergers that made the bank grow outside its historical private banking roots. In 1988, it acquired First Boston Corporation, which was at the time one of the most prestigious investment bank in the USA, consistently ranked at the top of M&A league tables and led by Wall Street legends Bruce Wasserstein and Joe Perella. Importantly, in 2000, Credit Suisse acquired another leading US investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette (“DLJ” ) for $13bn, which had a strong dominance in high-yield fixed income securities (i.e. financial instruments that are held by institutions rated with low credit ratings)
