"Investors are waiting for the time in which the capital buildup to fulfill regulatory requirements is over and the costs associated with legacy matters is addressed," Mr Ermotti said in a Bloomberg Television interview in New York. "We're on a good path, we are almost there, actually we are there. Now people need to see the cash flow coming back through dividends or share buyback."
