		Ospel also highlighted the favourable allocation of shares during initial public offerings to clients and senior executives of firms involved – another boom-era practice now under investigation.

		It was a surprise, then, to meet Marcel Ospel, the 54-year-old chairman of UBS AG (formerly the Union Bank of Switzerland), the largest of the country's 356 banks, who breaks the mould of his profession.
		Ospel recently welcomed me into his private office, on Zurich's fabled Bahnhoffstrasse, and I could see immediately that within the discreet Swiss banking fraternity, he belongs to a category of one.
		Swiss banks, says Ospel, should not have to determine whether foreign depositors are complying with the tax laws of their own countries.

		Ospel said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday that corporate culture was "an integral part of a successful strategy" and one of his aims, if approved as chairman, would be to "ensure that life is breathed into our principles."
		Ospel downplayed any suggestion the decision to appoint Arnold, 50, a British citizen, was a radical departure even though no modern Swiss bank has appointed a foreigner to such a senior post.
		Ospel will step into the shoes of Alex Krauer, who came on to head UBS in 1998 after former Chairman Mathis Cabiallavetta left in the wake of losses tied to the group's exposure to U.S. hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management.

		It proved a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth at UBS for the bank's chairman, Marcel Ospel, who waved goodbye to executive board president Luqman Arnold last Sunday.
		Observers at the bank said Ospel has now reasserted his dominance at the bank, since 44-year-old Wuffli is thought more likely than Arnold to accept a junior role.
		Wuffli was chosen by Ospel to reverse a slide at the company's institutional fund business, which includes Brinson Partners in Chicago and Phillips and Drew in London.

		Ospel's stance toward both acquisitions and the bank's use of its balance sheet enabled UBS to emerge from the bear markets of 2001 and 2002 largely unscathed.
		Ospel says he also saw the Swiss banking market as ripe for consolidation and thought he'd found the perfect fit in the old Union Bank of Switzerland, created in 1912 through the merger of two regional Swiss banks.
		Ospel negotiated financial commitments to Swissair without initially getting the support of UBS's group executive board, which is made up of executives who run the bank on a day-to-day basis, according to people familiar with the situation.

		Marcel Ospel, chairman of UBS, and Lukas Mühlemann, chairman of Credit Suisse, sweated in front of television cameras as they tried vainly to explain that Swissair had brought this on itself, by messily declaring a debt moratorium.
		A petty distinction, perhaps, since Mr Ospel was flanked by the bank's legal counsel and chief credit officer when he made the commitment.
		Mr Ospel may look enviously down Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse at Credit Suisse, where Mr Mühlemann is chairman and chief executive of a holding company, not a bank.

		Ospel fügte hinzu, er habe für 2001 über 7 Mio.
		Ospel wandte sich gemäss Redetext gegen die Offenlegung individueller Bezüge, weil sie laut den internationalen Erfahrungen zu einer Inflation der Kompensationen führe, die Teamkultur im Betrieb zerstören könne und einem ungerechtfertigten Eingriff in die Privatsphäre gleichkäme. Ein Blick auf die internationalen Lohnstrukturen zeigt, dass das Einkommen Ospels zwar noch keinen Spitzenwert darstellt.
		Über diese Einkommensquelle gab Ospel nichts bekannt; die UBS passt grundsätzlich keine Ausübungspreise von Optionen nachträglich an.Der Vergleich von Ospels Salär mit den Einkommen schweizerischer Normalbürger gibt eine Grössenordnung an, wie stark die Schere zwischen Spitzen- und Durchschnittslöhnen auch in der Schweiz aufgegangen ist.
