UBS has closed its fund distribution unit in Shenzhen, China, which operated through the digital platform WE.UBS. Reuters reported that the Swiss bank confirmed the closure to the agency on Thursday, stating it would occur during the current month. The WE.UBS platform is reportedly being rebranded and integrated into UBS's Chinese securities unit. Other asset management platforms operated by UBS in China are continuing to function without changes. The unit, which launched in October 2022, has reportedly struggled to attract sufficient investors in the highly competitive Chinese fund market. Internal competition within UBS has also posed challenges for the unit.
