UBS confirms 20 staff quit its German private bank

The exodus is linked to disenchantment over the Swiss bank's failure to ring-fence part of the German private bank

UBS Friday confirmed roughly 20 staff have left its German private banking arm, reportedly for Hamburg-based Harald Quandt Trust.

A source told Dow Jones Newswires on Friday that the 20 private bankers' exit is linked to disenchantment over the Swiss bank's failure to ring-fence part or all of the German private bank into a separate corporation, thus allowing it more autonomy from Zurich.
