Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE: CS) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on the accuracy of Credit Suisse’s represented internal controls and risk procedures.

Credit Suisse has in the past assured investors about its prudent, conscious and disciplined risk taking. But these assurances have recently come under question.

On Mar. 1, 2021, Bloomberg reported Credit Suisse suspended a $10 billion family of funds that invested in debt arranged by Greensill Capital. The debt was reliant on a small group of insurers to protect investors against default. As reported by The Wall Street Journal later in March, Credit Suisse knew since 2019 that the funds were too reliant on the small group of insurers but did not remedy the situation. On Mar. 3, 2021, Greensill filed for insolvency. On Mar. 16, 2021, Credit Suisse announced it may incur a charge related to its Greensill exposures and it has redeemed $3.1 billion of the $10 billion to investors in the funds.

Then, on Mar. 29, 2021 Credit Suisse announced a large client (Bill Hwang of Archegos Capital Management, who previously pled guilty to wire fraud in 2012) defaulted on margin calls. Hwang’s leveraged investments reportedly were swaps, a type of derivative that gives an investor exposure to gains or losses in the underlying shares without owning them directly. After the default, on Apr. 6, 2021, Credit Suisse announced it expected to incur a charge of over $4 billion and report Q1 2021 losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

All of this news has resulted in analysts downgrading the shares of Credit Suisse and has driven the price of Credit Suisse American Depositary Shares sharply lower.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether Credit Suisse intentionally put fees ahead of its so-called prudent risk management practices,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
