UBS Dictionary of Banking – 2009 edition

Dear Readers

This updated edition of the «UBS Dictionary of Banking» contains definitions of over 2,400 terms, incorporating the latest information available from our Research department. This represents an increase – compared to the highly successful 2000 edition – of some 260 terms, the majority drawn from the area of wealth management. In future, the dictionary will be updated and expanded on an ongoing basis, so you will continue to benefit free of charge from UBS’s vast expertise in financial theory and practice.

Our aim in preparing this dictionary is to share the vocabulary of banking with our clients. We are convinced that this will make a major contribution to our mutual understanding, by helping to ensure that we share a common language.
