Clients and peers vote UBS the European Equities House of the Decade

Financial News has named UBS its European Equities House of the Decade. The accolade comes in the magazine's Decade of Excellence in Europe awards, hosted this week to celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

"Consistency has been the mainstay for UBS's equity capital markets business over the past decade," said the magazine. "The bank has resisted jumping on the various bandwagons that have overtaken the market, be it aggressive block trades or technology initial public offerings."

The awards were based on the results of surveys sent to peers and clients, as well as the votes of a panel made up of 10 distinguished individuals, who were either current or retired chief executives or heads of business.

UBS also came second in the European Investment Bank of the decade category.
