Too close to the wind - Why Credit Suisse had to go down

Dirk Schütz

Sinossi

It was a high-wire act that the Swiss authorities had to perform in four fateful days in March 2023: the biggest merger in the banking world since the financial crisis.
What really happened in those dramatic 96 hours? Could the catastrophe have been avoided? And how could Credit Suisse of all banks – one of the few global financial institutions to have emerged from the financial crisis stronger than before – end up in such an epochal predicament?
Peppered with much hitherto unknown information, this book provides the first detailed insider's account of the dramatic downfall of the Swiss-American money house, which always sailed very close to the wind – and in the end went down.

Fundraising - The Best Ways to...

Julia Fanthom

Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.
