The chairman has already been at the bank for about eight years and has openly spoken about his own succession planning and tenure limits and of the need for the board to look at peers for inorganic growth. That deal - in theory at least - would marry Deutsche Bank's fixed-income focus with UBS's bigger equities business. It would also bring together UBS's wealth management prowess with Deutsche Bank's access to German entrepreneurs.
