The chief risk officer of UBS, Maureen
Miskovic, has been replaced after less than a year in the position,
by her predecessor, Philip Lofts.
Lofts previously held the chief risk officer’s
position at UBS between 2008 and 2010.
The move comes as part of a major management
shuffle at UBS due to which the Swiss giant has expanded the roles
of its top wealth management executives.

CEO of wealth management Americas, Robert
McCann, will assume Loft’s position as the CEO of UBS Group
Americas, in addition to his current role.
