Bill Daley, the former White
House chief of staff, has left
his post at Bank of New York
Mellon Corp. less than five
months after the bank an-
nounced his arrival.
Mr. Daley said Tuesday he
made the decision after his
former boss, BNY Mellon CEO
Charles Scharf, departed to
take the same job at Wells
Fargo & Co. Messrs. Daley and
Scharf had previously worked
together at JPMorgan Chase &
Co., and the CEO had brought
on his former colleague to
oversee BNY Mellon’s govern-
ment-affairs and communica-
tions functions.
With Mr. Scharf’s exit this
month, “I knew I wasn’t going
to stay,” he said.
“Bill Daley’s departure was
expected as Bill joined us a
few months ago largely as an
adviser to Charlie,” a BNY
Mellon spokeswoman said.
“We parted amicably and wish
him well.”
Mr. Daley, whose last day
was Friday, has served two
former presidents—as com-
merce secretary to President
Clinton and chief of staff to
President Obama.
Unlike his father and
brother, both former mayors
who ran Chicago for decades,
Bill Daley spent most of his
career in private industries,
including banking and tele-
communications.
He joined JPMorgan in
2004 as vice chairman and
Midwest chairman.
The bank merged with Chi-
cago’s Bank One Corp. that
same year, adding its future
CEO, James Dimon, along with
Mr. Scharf.
Mr. Scharf left to take the
CEO post at Visa Inc., then
moved to BNY Mellon in 2017.
Mr. Daley, who lost his own
bid for Chicago mayor this
year, reunited with Mr. Scharf
at BNY Mellon in June.

how many roles are being cut.
To help counteract pressure
on its banking margins, UBS
previously said it would
charge its wealthiest clients to
hold deposits above 2 million
Swiss francs ($2.03 million)
starting Nov. 1.
Net profit for the quarter
was $1.05 billion, down 16%
from $1.25 billion in the third
quarter of 2018, beating ana-
lysts’ expectations.
In addition, UBS will elimi-
nate some fees on investment
accounts sold through its own
U.S. financial advisers, opening
a new front in the price war
that has shaken up the money-
management industry.

The Swiss bank’s invest-
ment-management business
will stop charging UBS wealth
clients fees on separately man-
aged accounts in January, ex-
ecutives Suni Harford and Tom
Naratil wrote in a memo to
employees. Clients of those ac-
counts will still pay a fee to
the firm’s wealth adviser.
“Our financial advisers will
now be in an even better posi-
tion to successfully compete
for business, grow their prac-
tices and deliver for clients,”
wrote Ms. Harford, president
of asset management, and Mr.
Naratil, co-president of global
wealth management.
In an interview, Mr. Naratil

said he believed UBS was the
first firm to eliminate the fee
that clients pay asset manag-
ers to oversee separately man-
aged accounts.
Today, clients pay roughly
1% in fees on those accounts,
with almost one-third of that
going back to the asset man-
ager overseeing the portfolio.
The financial adviser gets the
rest.
Under the new pricing plan,
UBS said, account holders
wouldn’t pay the asset man-
ager anything unless they
signed up for premium ser-
vices, such as personalized tax
management.
Asset managers won’t be

working free of charge; instead
of being paid by the client,
they will receive a fee from the
wealth manager based on the
amount of assets they manage.
“This makes it clear: The
premium is still on financial
advisers,” Mr. Naratil said.
“Asset management really pro-
vides the tools.”
Mr. Naratil said UBS will of-
fer the same fee structure to
non-UBS asset managers sell-
ing accounts on its platform,
starting in mid-2020.
UBS started waiving man-
agement fees on some stock
investments in July.

UBS Group AG said it would
weather tougher banking con-
ditions by tightening up the
focus of its investment bank
and charging large clients for
deposits, as it posted a fall in
third-quarter profit.
The Swiss bank, one of the
world’s largest wealth manag-
ers for the rich, said it would
take a $100 million restructur-
ing charge to carry out organi-
zational changes to its invest-

spill over into the broader
market. Still, he said, it is dif-
ficult to know for sure be-
cause “you have too many yel-
low signs, warning signs,
around.”
The rise in yields on low, or
triple-C rated, corporate
bonds isn’t the only trend
worrying debt investors.
Stress in high-yield bonds
can be explained partly by
problems in the energy sector,
which makes up the largest
portion of the market.
But the trend is basically
the same in the speculative-
grade loan market, which is
more heavily weighted toward

other sectors, such as health
care and technology.
There, the extra yield that
investors demand above the
benchmark London interbank
offered rate has been climbing
since June for triple-C loans
while remaining steady for
higher-rated single-B and dou-
ble-B loans.
Meanwhile, the number of
loans downgraded by S&P
Global Ratings has outpaced
upgrades over the past three
months by the largest amount
in a decade.
Default rates have started
to edge higher, though they
remain well below their levels

even from a few years ago.
The unusual condition of
this year’s corporate-debt
market is evident in the re-
turns generated by different
rating tiers, including price
gains and coupon payments.
Over the past two decades,
triple-C bonds have been the
best-performing subsector of
the Bloomberg Barclays high-
yield index in the nine full
years when the index returned
at least 6%.
This year, the overall index
has returned 11.7%.
Triple-C bonds, which offer
the largest coupons, have re-
turned 5.8%, compared with

12% for single-B bonds and
13.3% for the double-B bonds,
according to Bloomberg Bar-
clays data.
Some investors say there
are likely reasons why seem-
ingly disparate challenges fac-
ing varied businesses have be-
come more pronounced at
roughly the same time.
One is the high, and often
rising, level of debt carried by
businesses, which makes it
difficult for them to overcome
problems.
Another is the recent slow-
down in economic growth,
which likely exacerbates those
problems.

“There are specific names
and specific subsectors where
things are not working,” said
Oleg Melentyev, a credit strat-
egist at Bank of America Corp.

publicly traded companies and
shared it with traders.
Ms. Windsor, who worked
at Centerview until her termi-
nation around 2016, and Mr.
Taylor, a Moelis employee
from 2010 to 2014, remain at
large. Prosecutors said Ms.
Windsor was living in Thai-
land, while Mr. Taylor was liv-
ing in France.
Others charged in related
cases include a vice president
at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.,
who prosecutors allege passed
confidential information to a
trader; a London-based securi-
ties trader accused of profit-
ing off information supplied
by Ms. Windsor and Mr. Tay-
lor; and a Greek businessman
and the son of a pharmaceuti-
cal executive, who were ac-
cused of profiting off stolen
information.
The Securities and Ex-
change Commission filed a
civil complaint Tuesday
against Mr. Taylor, Ms. Wind-
sor and the London-based se-
curities trader. Prosecutors
said the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation’s probe is ongoing.
The bulk of prosecutors’

charges appeared to revolve
around the alleged actions be-
tween 2012 and 2015 of Ms.
Windsor and Mr. Taylor, who
were charged in a 40-count in-
dictment unsealed Monday but
first described by prosecutors
on Tuesday.
In an October 2012 email
quoted in the indictment, Ms.
Windsor wrote to Mr. Taylor
with the subject line: “Once
upon a time, there was a Pops
searching for Truffles in the
Forest...” Attached to the

email was confidential infor-
mation from Centerview re-
lated to a client, Onyx Phar-
maceuticals Inc., which Ms.
Windsor took from the bank’s
computer system, prosecutors
said.
Prosecutors said Ms. Wind-
sor and Mr. Taylor sold infor-
mation on about 16 different
corporate transactions to mid-
dlemen, all related to compa-
nies listed on U.S. exchanges.
The middlemen relayed the in-
formation to traders in the

U.K. and Switzerland, who
took in tens of millions of dol-
lars in illicit profits.
In one instance outlined in
the indictment, a securities
trader in Switzerland who re-
ceived information from the
middlemen leaked that infor-
mation to journalists, with the
aim of having them publish
news articles that could influ-
ence stock prices.
In two examples included in
the indictment, the trader al-
legedly reaped more than $1.2

million through trades pegged
to articles based on informa-
tion he leaked.
No journalists were charged
in the investigation, and no
news organizations were
named in the indictments.
Even after Mr. Taylor left
Moelis, he kept receiving non-
public information from insid-
ers, prosecutors alleged.
Spokespeople for both Moe-
lis and Centerview called Mr.
Taylor and Ms. Windsor junior
employees. The banks said
they were cooperating with
authorities.
Joseph El-Khouri, the Lon-
don-based securities trader,
was charged in a separate in-
dictment with paying a mid-
dleman in exchange for infor-
mation allegedly stolen by Mr.
Taylor and Ms. Windsor.
In one case prosecutors
said was related, Bryan Cohen,
a vice president at Goldman
Sachs, was charged in an in-
dictment unsealed last week
with conspiracy to commit se-
curities fraud and conspiracy
to commit mail fraud. Prosecu-
tors allege Mr. Cohen passed
nonpublic information from
the bank to a trader in Swit-
zerland between 2015 and


  1. Mr. Cohen was arrested
    Friday in Manhattan and re-
    leased on bond. He pleaded
    not guilty in federal court
    Tuesday, his lawyer said, add-
    ing they were reviewing the
    charges.
