UBS Group AG’s Asia-Pacific investment bank head, David Chin, has resigned to step away from banking five years after he was brought back to help bolster the Swiss lender’s China business.

Chin, 54, will be replaced by Taichi Takahashi, the region’s head of global markets, according to an internal memo on Thursday that confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report. A Hong Kong-based spokesman confirmed the content of the memo.
