Credit Suisse’s (CS) AT1 jumped by almost 18 points after the Swiss court decision termed FINMA’s move of writing-off $17bn of CS’ AT1 notes as unlawful. The decision has already been challenged by the country’s financial regulator. However, it has fueled hopes for a group of investors that hold claims tied to Credit Suisse AT1s wiped out in the takeover, who are pointing to another failed bank example of Lehman Brothers in the past.
