Chapter 4 in Swiss Banking in an International Context, 1989, pp 78-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The term ‘Universal Banking’ means precisely what it says. Swiss banks engage in all forms of financial activity for their clients. This means that attempting to segment the functions of a capital market with different specialised institutions acting within each segment, after the fashion of the Anglo-American capital market, is futile. This is not an easy concept to grasp, especially for those of us accustomed to a sharp distinction between investment banking and commercial banking.1
