UBS(US:UBS) Hua Er Jie Jian Wen·2025-07-29 07:26Core 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]. Group 1: Product Overview - RTPF is a structured foreign exchange product designed for high-net-worth clients, where clients agree to exchange currencies at a fixed rate as long as the exchange rate remains within a specified range. If the rate moves outside this range, clients may face substantial losses [2]. - The product is inherently high-risk and should only be sold to professional investors. However, some clients, lacking the necessary expertise, have invested using collateral from their properties, exposing them to significant risks [2]. Group 2: Company Response - Following the losses, UBS has halted the promotion of RTPF to most clients and has compensated over 100 clients to mitigate reputational damage. 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].
