Deutsche Bank mulling cutback in US operations: reports
Move seen as part of a wider overhaul to lower costs as mounting legal expenses threaten to undermine profitability
Zurich
DEUTSCHE Bank AG, Germany's biggest bank, is considering options such as scaling back US operations as part of a wider overhaul to lower costs, according to several media reports.
A US pullback was already discussed by the supervisory board and would be more likely than a sale of the asset management business, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported, citing an undisclosed person familiar with the matter.
