LONDON - UBS Group is searching for a successor to chief executive officer Sergio Ermotti, the latest European bank to consider changes at the top in an industry beset by sluggish growth.

Mr Ermotti, who has made private banking the centrepiece of UBS' strategy, brought in Mr Khan to execute the biggest revamp of the key wealth management unit in almost a decade. The lender, like many of its European peers, has dialled back its ambitions amid negative interest rates and muted client activity. Last month, Mr Ermotti cut the bank's targets for a second time in as many years against the backdrop of this outlook.

The CEO, who is in his ninth year in the job, is part of a Europe-wide trend of bank executives getting ready to hand over the reins to the next generation. Lenders, including Societe Generale and HSBC Holdings, are among those also looking for replacements. Credit Suisse just replaced its CEO, though in the aftermath of a spying scandal.Mr Ermotti undertook a radical overhaul of the top ranks in August.
