FT.com / In depth - UBS takes new $10bn subprime hit

UBS on Monday became the second big investment bank in a fortnight to be bailed out by a sovereign wealth fund when it announced a SFr19.4bn ($17.2bn) recapitalisation plan after revealing another $10bn of losses on subprime mortgage securities. UBS was forced to turn to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) and an unnamed investor from the Middle East for funds to shore up its balance sheet after the fresh losses emerged.
