flag A Singapore firm to sue Switzerland over AT1 bond losses, citing unlawful action and treaty rights.

flag A Singapore law firm plans to file investment treaty claims against Switzerland by year-end, seeking compensation for about 560 Asian bondholders who lost billions when Credit Suisse’s AT1 bonds were written down during its 2023 rescue. flag The firm argues the Swiss government’s action was unlawful, citing a recent court ruling that invalidated the decree. flag Claims are based on bilateral treaties and follow trigger letters sent in late 2024 and May 2025, with a six-month negotiation period required before litigation. flag The case, backed by litigation funder Omni Bridgeway, could take years, and success is uncertain, though investors had expected losses to be absorbed by shareholders first. flag Switzerland’s finance ministry declined to comment.
