Change to the Board of Trustees of the Pension Fund as of September 4, 2024

Anton Simonet is the new employer representative on the Board of Trustees of the Pension Fund and Pension Fund 2 of Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland).

Anton Simonet replaces André Helfenstein, who has served as a member of the Board of Trustees since April 2020.

Anton Simonet is Regional Vice Chairman Switzerland. He joined UBS in 2010 from Dresdner Bank, where he was initially responsible for the Middle East, Asia, Israel and Africa regions in Geneva. He then led the region and Wealth Management in Eastern Switzerland. From 2017 he was Head Wealth Management Switzerland and GFIM.

André Helfenstein deserves great thanks for his contributions to the Board of Trustees of the Pension Fund. During his more than four-year term of office, he helped guide the fortunes of the Board of Trustees and strengthened its expertise with his broad experience.

We would like to thank André Helfenstein for his commitment and welcome Anton Simonet to the Board of Trustees of the Pension Fund.
