Credit Suisse slumps in third quarter

By Spear's

Third quarter earnings at Credit Suisse’s private banking unit have fallen by almost 40 percent compared to the same period a year ago.

Third quarter earnings at Credit Suisse’s private banking unit have fallen by almost 40 percent compared to the same period a year ago as the bank struggles with the impact of the credit crunch and a one-off SwFr 310 million charge to settle auction-rate securities (ARS).
