Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) has definitely given a nice earnings boost to the investment banking arm of Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) (NYSE:CS), which was one of the six underwriters for the company.

Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) (NYSE:CS)’s CEO, Brady Dougan, shared some of his thoughts on CNBC.

” […] We had a long relationship with them, so we do a number of different things with them. I think one of the positives around the transactions with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) this quarter was the fact that it was in fact a transaction that worked across the bank, so it included both the private banking side and the investment banking side […],” said Dougan.

Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) (NYSE:CS)’s CEO dodged the question, when he was asked about how much exactly was the deal worth for the bank. His comment revolved around reiterating the smoothness of the whole operation.

” […] It was an important transaction, it was obviously a landmark transaction in that it was the largest IPO ever and as you said, it was executed well, which is to great credit of the company, and also to the investment bank […],” remarked Dougan.
