Zurich — Credit Suisse says it will take a 4.4-billion Swiss franc hit from dealings with Archegos Capital Management, prompting it to overhaul the leadership of its investment bank and risk division.
The scandal-hit bank now expects to post a loss for the first quarter of about 900-million Swiss francs. It is also suspending its share buyback plans and cutting its dividend by two thirds.
