UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti reportedly earned $15.9m (CHF14.4m) in 2023 after his surprise return at the helm of the Swiss banking giant, following its takeover of stricken rival Credit Suisse.

The bank announced in late March that Ermotti would return for a second spell as CEO, replacing Ralph Hamers from April 5 last year, as UBS undertook the mammoth task of integrating Credit Suisse’s business. Ermotti’s previous tenure ran from 2011 to 2020.

Hamers earned CHF12.6m Swiss francs in 2022 during his last full year as CEO, according to UBS’ annual report published on Thursday.
