ZURICH, April 22 (Reuters) - Credit Suisse does not expect to significantly reduce head count in investment banking and its prime brokerage business as a result of its decision to eliminate at least $35 billion in leverage exposure from the business, Chief Financial Officer David Mathers told Reuters on Thursday. The bank said on Thursday it will boost capital reserves after taking a multi-billion-dollar hit from the collapse of U.S. investment fund Archegos, while regulators announced an enforcement case against the bank over the matter. The new risk reduction will strip out about a third of the bank’s exposure in its prime services businesses, Mathers said, but the reduction would occur in terms of capital allocation, rather than significant redundancies, he said.
