UBS - UBS/PaineWebber

Beginning in 1747 as the Union Bank of Switzerland, UBS is a global financial entity providing financial services to private, corporate and institutional clients. Headquartered in Switzerland, UBS is a member of the New York and other major stock and commodities exchanges throughout the world.

In 2000, PaineWebber Group Inc., an American stock brokerage firm, merged with UBS. At the time, PaineWebber was the fourth largest private client firm in the U.S. with 385 offices and over 8,000 brokers. The business was initially named UBS PaineWebber but was renamed in 2003 when all UBS business groups became simply "UBS." The acquisition made UBS the top wealth and asset management firm in the world until Bank of America took over that title in 2009. The UBS American headquarters are located in Stamford, CT, Weehawken, NJ, and New York City. UBS has offices in over 50 countries and employs more than 65,000 people.

A securities brokerage firm licensed by FINRA, UBS has a legal duty to supervise its brokers and its brokers' recommendations to clients to ensure compliance with and prevent violations of the rules of the security industry. When an individual broker is negligent or acts in an unlawful manner against the interests of the client and that client suffers damages as a result of such wrongdoing, the firm may be held liable for the investor's losses.
