Credit Suisse Asset Management Kapitalanlage GmbH (CSAM-D) is the wholly-owned German asset management arm of Credit Suisse (Deutschland) AG, ultimately owned by Zurich-based Credit Suisse Group (VX: CSGN). Based in Frankfurt, the firm was originally established in 1988 as SKA Investment GmbH. In 1997 they were restructured and they joined CSAM, a firm regrouping all the asset management companies of the group. In 2006 CSAM fully integrated their banking business, which now operates under a single Credit Suisse brand. As a result the brand name Credit Suisse Asset management is no longer in use.

Credit Suisse (Deutschland) AG (CS-Deutschland) is the German investment banking subsidiary of Credit Suisse AG, itself a subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG (SW: CSGN, ADR: CS) in Switzerland. Headquartered in Frankfurt, the firm was founded in 1997 and provides a range of financial products and investment advisory services including securities underwriting, placement services, privately negotiated equity investments to institutional, corporate, government, and individual customers worldwide.
