About eight bankers have left the firm’s office, which also covers some of Sub-Saharan Africa, the people said, asking not to be named because the information is private. The bank plans to now cover its key corporate clients in the region out of London, they said. The investment bank is following a conservative approach and is in downsizing mode, said the people. UBS plans to keep some capabilities in the country, including research and trading, they said. Credit Suisse Group made a similar move, when it cut back on its investment banking capacity and exited SA in 2018.
