Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam has ruled out further discussions with a prominent European activist hedge fund that had called for a break up of the Swiss Bank.

Thiam met with RBR Capital Advisors founder Rudolf Bohli in Zurich earlier this month to discuss the hedge fund’s demands. The Credit Suisse CEO said that meeting was “cordial” but added he had no intention of meeting with RBR again.
