UBS results follow a mixed quarter for big U.S. banks, also marked by choppy capital markets and slowing economic growth that hit investment banking.

The Swiss bank reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of $1.73 billion, outpacing the $1.53 billion forecast by 17 analysts in a company-gathered consensus.

“We remain confident in our ability to deliver attractive and sustainable capital returns to shareholders,” Chief Executive Ralph Hamers said in a statement.
