ZURICH (Reuters) – UBS (UBSN.VX: Quote, Profile, Research) is using its 150th anniversary to try to rebuild an image tarnished by a $2 billion (1.3 billion pound) trading scandal that struck just as Switzerland’s biggest bank was starting to win back client trust after its near collapse in 2008.

The bank has been back in the headlines for the wrong reasons this month after it posted poor results for the last three months of 2011 and over its involvement in a global inquiry into a conspiracy to manipulate interbank lending rates.
