瑞士信贷集团已经挽回客户投资格林希尔资本相关资产的过半数现金,但仍有46亿美元的缺口需要填补。
这家瑞士银行三月初冻结了数只供应链金融基金的赎回,并对其进行了清算,名义价值总计为100亿美元。这些标的资产由格林希尔发起并捆绑,该公司已于上月破产。
瑞士信贷在周二的最新报告中指出,迄今已追回54亿美元,高于约一个月前的31亿美元。不过,目前仍有46亿美元未偿还。
该银行在一份声明中表示:“我们十分清楚逐步缩减供应链金融资金给客户带来的不确定性,我们正在尽一切努力给他们提供清晰的信息,出现问题及时解决,并最终返还客户的现金。”
瑞士信贷的股价下跌0.16%,收盘价9.81欧元。
对于放款的瑞士信贷来说,格林希尔的崩盘给今年开了个坏头。另外,对冲基金Archegos Capital Management的爆仓也让瑞士信贷在第一季度面临44亿瑞士法郎(约合48亿美元)的损失。
这家银行表示,目前正与格林希尔的破产管理者正大会计师事务所保持密切联系,在某些情况下还与违约方直接打交道,以追回投资者剩余的现金。
该行承诺将在月底前再次公布最新情况,并表示许多标的资产都是有形资产,必要情况下或许会被扣留。
“根据目前的评估,情况可能会有所好转,”该机构如此表示,“但这些基金最终会分配多少到投资者手上,显然也存在相当大的不确定性。”
瑞士信贷的客户可能至少面临经济损失,但该行也表示会考虑采取“适当”的法律措施以保护客户利益。
瑞士信贷是一家专为精明投资者及超高净值人士服务的银行,事态的发展已经危及其声誉。不过,银行的首席执行官托马斯·戈特斯坦表示会继续留任。
格林希尔资本专门从事发票融资,它的破产可能也会对经济产生更加广泛的实质影响。由于无法从格林希尔获得信贷,英国商业大亨桑吉夫·古普塔掌管的古普塔家族联盟前途未卜,数以万计的工作岗位也因此面临风险。法国、西班牙和英国的钢铁厂和铝冶炼厂也受到了牵连。(财富中文网)

Credit Suisse Group AG has secured over half of the outstanding cash invested by its clients in assets linked to the now insolvent Greensill Capital, but the fate of another $4.6 billion remains uncertain.
In early March, the Swiss bank froze redemptions and liquidated several supply-chain finance funds totaling $10 billion in notional value. The underlying assets had been originated and packaged by Greensill, which collapsed last month.
In an update on Tuesday, Credit Suisse said it had salvaged $5.4 billion so far, up from $3.1 billion roughly a month earlier. That leaves another $4.6 billion outstanding.
“We remain acutely aware of the uncertainty that the wind-down process creates for those of our clients who are invested in the funds,” the bank said in a statement. “We are doing everything that we can to provide them with clarity, to work through issues as they arise and, ultimately, to return cash to them.”
Shares in Credit Suisse closed down 0.16% at 9.81 euros.
The Greensill debacle marked a disastrous start to the year for the lender, which also slumped to a 4.4 billion franc ($4.8 billion) first-quarter trading loss related to the implosion of hedge fund Archegos Capital Management.
Credit Suisse said it was in close contact with Greensill administrator, Grant Thornton, and in some instances was dealing directly with delinquent parties to recoup the rest of investor cash.
The bank, which promised another update by the end of the month, said many of the underlying assets are tangible and could be seized if necessary.
“The current assessment is that there is potential for recovery in these cases,” it said, adding: “although clearly there is a considerable degree of uncertainty as to the amounts that ultimately will be distributed to investors in respect of the funds.”
Credit Suisse said it would also consider “appropriate” legal measures to protect the interests of its clients, who are likely to lose at least some of their money.
The developments put at risk the bank’s reputation as a wealth manager specializing in the world’s most sophisticated investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Nevertheless, chief executive Thomas Gottstein vowed to remain in his post.
The collapse of Greensill Capital, which specialized in financing invoices, may also have a real effect on the broader economy. Tens of thousands of jobs are now at risk because the future of businesses in Sanjeev Gupta’s GFG Alliance is in doubt without access to credit from Greensill. This includes steel mills and aluminum smelters in France, Spain, and the U.K.
