The Zurich-based bank said Alexander Friedman will join UBS on Tuesday. Mr. Friedman left The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest private philanthropy fund, early last year to start private investment firm Asymmetry LLC. Before his role as chief financial officer at the Gates Foundation. Mr. Friedman worked as a Lazard mergers-and-acquisitions banker. At the sante time.

The prominent hires represent a more assertive lone from UBS's private bank, which last year 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.S. justice and tax officials over tax-evasion allegations. The bank, which under former Credit Suisse Group boss Oswald Grtibel swung to a full-year profit of 7.16 billion Swiss francs ($7.71 billion) in 2010. settled a criminal probe in part by paying $780 million in a deferred prosecution agreement. A separate civil suit brought by the U.S. seeking data on thousands of UBS clients was settled when the Swiss government stepped in and ordered the handover of more than 4.000 sets of data. Last week. UBS named William Kennedy as new head of its investment products and services unit, a group set up last year to mote closely tie its flagship private bank with the investment-banking arm. The push is emblematic of UBS's attempts to cater to wealthier clients with more than $50 million in assets within two years.
