“Our business momentum, our focus on fueling growth, on disciplined

“Our business momentum, our focus on fueling growth,
on disciplined execution and on delivering our full
ecosystem to clients – all of this led to another strong
quarter financially across all of our business divisions
and regions.
The market and economic backdrop were broadly positive
in the third quarter; although there has been some
uncertainty recently. Regardless of the backdrop, we have
continued and will continue to provide our clients with
valuable advice and quality execution, enabling them to
navigate volatility and capture opportunities.
We made tremendous progress last quarter in delivering
on our client promise by putting clients at the center of all
we do – whether it be by working across the firm to
provide new investment opportunities, further developing
targeted offerings based on client preferences so we can
offer a more personalized experience, or partnering
externally to develop the largest dedicated impact
investment Today, we are seeing the benefits of delivering our full
ecosystem to clients in a seamless way as One UBS. And
there is so much more we can and must do.
This will be key to the success of our strategy. And we’re
looking forward to presenting to you what this means for
clients and for shareholders with our strategic update on
1 February 2022.”
