UBS Liquidates $2B Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund Amid Market Slump: Report

Author: Lekha Gupta | August 15, 2024 09:00am

UBS Group AG (NYSE:UBS) reportedly placed a real estate fund from its former competitor Credit Suisse, valued at over $2 billion, into “orderly liquidation.”

UBS stated that the Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International had total net assets of 1.88 billion Swiss francs ($2.17 billion) as of June, reported Reuters.

The fund’s value had significantly declined throughout 2023, according to earlier reports from the bank. UBS stated that 36% of the fund’s total units in circulation in 2022 had been redeemed by the end of 2023, per the report.

UBS noted that meeting the outstanding 2023 redemptions would require selling the portfolio’s most liquid assets at an “inopportune time” in the real estate market.

UBS added that this would negatively affect remaining investors, reduce the portfolio’s attractiveness, and likely lead to further redemptions, the report further added.

Yesterday, UBS  reported second-quarter FY24 sales of $11.9 billion, up 25% Y/Y, beating the consensus of $11.3 billion and  EPS of $0.34, beating the consensus of $0.12.

According to Benzinga Pro, UBS has gained around 27% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Avantis International Equity ETF (NYSE:AVDE) and American Century ETF Trust Avantis Responsible International Equity ETF (NYSE:AVSD).

Price Action: UBS shares are down 2.33% at $30.17 premarket at the last check Thursday.
