UBS Chief Executive Officer Sergio Ermotti bought $13.1 million of shares in Switzerland’s largest bank shortly after its investor day.
A spokeswoman for the bank confirmed the purchase after Switzerland’s SIX Exchange reported Monday that an executive had bought 1 million shares on Oct. 26, the day after the event in London.

Ermotti last week rejiggered UBS’s key financial targets for the second time this year and outlined how the bank is seeking to win over American billionaires by boosting recruitment in the U.S. and expanding a push into Asia.
