// RECENT ACTIVITY

// WOWL ASSESSMENT

Credit Suisse was acquired by UBS in March 2023 following a liquidity crisis. All portfolio positions transferred to UBS at acquisition. Credit Suisse's venture arm operated as the public markets underwriting machine disguised as early-stage investor — a structural conflict where IPO fees systematically corrupted investment judgment. The 68% miss rate reflects what happens when the same entity pricing the offering also held the pre-IPO position. The bank's 2023 collapse and forced UBS absorption terminated this particular conflict, but the portfolio remains a museum of bubble-era mispricing.

The portfolio reads like a greatest-hits compilation of 2020-2021 peak valuations with minimal downside protection. Snap trading 85% below IPO peak, Lyft down 90% from highs, UiPath collapsing from $90B private valuation to current $9B reality — each position demonstrates how underwriting incentives destroyed price discipline. The 26% hit rate (Pinduoduo, Alibaba as survivors) cannot overcome the systematic overvaluation embedded in every deal where Credit Suisse also handled the public offering. Box, Lending Club, Groupon — a decade of IPO mispricing in three names.

// THREAT LEVEL: ZOMBIECORN

VERDICT: The structural conflict between IPO underwriting fees and venture returns finally killed the host organism.

// WHY WOWLS WATCHES

Credit Suisse proved that investment banks cannot do venture capital when the same institution prices the exit — the incentive misalignment is fatal. The 68% miss rate is the tuition paid for that lesson.
