Core Viewpoint - UBS has requested its employees to reduce the sales of complex foreign exchange derivatives, specifically the Range Target Profit Forward (RTPF) contracts, due to significant losses incurred by clients following the announcement of high tariffs by Trump, which caused substantial fluctuations in the US dollar [1][2].

The company has also initiated an internal review and risk assessment training, scrutinizing the sales practices of at least six client managers [3]. - Although UBS continues to sell RTPF products, the scale of sales has been significantly reduced, and there is now a stricter review process for product suitability [2][3].
