About Marion Halftermeyer
Always up for a coffee or whatsapp chat. Drop me a line (or a tip is welcome too) at +12•••••••15 //+41•••••••08 or m••••••••@bloomberg.net. Anonymously here: day job includes diving deep into the ins and outs of where big money (read: institutional LPs and wealth) is investing and how the changing market and geopolitical environment, players, and latest trends affect those investments/investing strategies. I also cover not-so-odd scandals and blow ups, and often work on larger investigative pieces that shed light on the darker spaces in the world of finance.Prior to this, I spent 4.5 years in Zurich covering Switzerland\'s major banks, their global strategies, where they are growing and where they are shrinking and why. Most of my time was spent covering Credit Suisse\'s path to collapse and the merger with UBS. I am writing a book about Credit Suisse\'s rise and fall and what it means for the global financial system.I started my career in financial journalism in NYC and London with 5 years covering the world of distressed companies and corporate debt. My specialty was energy/shipping/mining and complex cross-border holding companies.
Experience
Book Author
Mar 2024 — Present
Writing the definitive account of the downfall of Credit Suisse, tracing how the iconic institution became consumed by infighting, hubris, and extreme risk-taking, finally culminating in its collapse and acquisition by UBS, and exposing how little control regulators have over big financial institutions. Reach out if you have a Credit Suisse story you\'d like to share (even anonymously). Open to hearing the good, the bad, and the ugly in this complicated and sad tale.
