The Zurich-based bank said Alexander Friedman will =oin UBS on Tuesday. Mr. Friedman left The Bill and Melinda Gates Founchtion, the world's largest private philanthropy fund, early last year to st=rt private investment firm Asymmetry LLC. EFTA_R1_00130413 EFTA01795357  Before his role as chief=financial officer at the Gates Foundation, Mr. Friedman worked as a Laza=d mergers- and-acquisitions banker. At the same time, UBS has hired =ormer White House Deputy Chief of Staff Mona Sutphen and Mark Haefele, an =lternative asset manager. Ms. Sutphen, formerly a managing director at=Stonebridge International LLC who left the White House last month, will le=d macro analysis, while Mr. Haefele will be in charge of investment anal=sis. Mr. Haefele is co-founder of The Sonic Funds, a Boston-based=hedge fund. Over time, Mr. Friedman, Ms. Sutphen and Mr. Haef=le will hire a global team, the bank said. "The chief investme=t officer function will focus on wealth protection and optimized financial=returns consistent with client objectives," UBS said in a statement=2E "Friedman and his team will be responsible for defining and propos=ng appropriate investment allocations and strategies and for communicating=them across the platform." The bank declined to make the three=available for comment. "The three new joiners will initially spend =ome time familiarizing themselves with UBS, its needs and its client offer=ng before they begin delivering market observations," private banking=head hirg Zeltner said in an internal memorandum. The prominent h=res represent a more assertive tone from UBS's private bank, which last ye=r managed to stem the tide of wealthy-client outflows following more than =50 billion in mortgage-related write-downs and a messy altercation with U=2ES. justice and tax officials over tax-evasion allegations. The =ank, which under former Credit Suisse Group boss Oswald Griibel <http://to=ics.wsj.com/person/g/oswald-gruebel/1048> sw=ng to a full-year profit of 7.16 billion Swiss francs ($7.71 billion) =n 2010, settled a criminal probe in part by paying $780 million in a defer=ed prosecution agreement. A separate civil suit brought by the U.=. seeking data on thousands of UBS clients was settled when the Swiss go=ernment stepped in and ordered the handover of more than 4,000 sets of dat=. Last week, UBS named William Kennedy as new head of its investmen= products and services unit, a group set up last year to more closely tie =ts flagship private bank with the investment-banking arm. The push is em=lematic of UBS's attempts to cater to wealthier clients with more than $50=million in assets within two years.
