Scotiabank Lays Off Investment Bankers in US, Asia Pacific

(Bloomberg)-According to the information, Bank of Nova Scotia, the US and Asia Pacific Investment Bank departments made a series of dismissals.

The Canadian lending has cut a series of jobs, including many executive principals this month, and people who want to be defined to discuss private information, made great cuts in the US medical team.

“We continue to focus on growth in the United States. As part of our regular business planning process, we have made a limited number of personnel changes affecting a small group of employees, Kat The changes reflect the efforts of our teams to effectively structure our teams to support our long -term business goals. ”

One of the people said Scotiabank has also closed small investment bank operations in Hong Kong and Australia.

“This strategic decision is not a current market environment or a reflection on our employees to align our business in Asia Pacific to our global strategy, Ras said Raskina. “While managing their needs through this transition, we become proactive and transparent with our employees and customers.”

In accordance with the President of the Executive Board Scott Thomson, Scotiabank gave priority to capital deployment to its businesses in Canada, USA and Mexico while re -evaluating international operations.

Travis Machen, a former Morgan Stanley banker, took over as the President of the Global Banking and Markets Unit of Scotiabank’s Global Banking and Markets Unit more than a year ago, and since then he hired several senior executives to his team. The Bank hired former UBS Group AG manager Matt Eiles in New York in April as the global co -chair of corporate and investment banking. Eilers’s common head is Dany Beauchemin in Toronto.

Separately, Mark Mulroney, Vice President of Scotiabank’s Department of Global Banking and Markets, left the company this week for the competitor Canada Imperial Trade Bank. Mulroney, son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, joins CIBC as a global vice president at the general manager’s office in November.
