UBS: appoints former BoE advisor
(CercleFinance.com) - UBS said on Friday that it has appointed Huw van Steenis, a former advisor to Mark Carney at the Bank of England, to head its sustainable finance committee, for which the banking group says it has many hopes.
This entity - which will include some of the Swiss investment bank's top executives - aims to capture growth opportunities in this market segment which is of growing importance to customers and investors, UBS says.
For the record, sustainable finance aims to generate not just a financial return, but also ecological and social returns over the longer term.
Huw van Steenis will also head the investor relations team, UBS said in a statement.
