EFG Financial Products was about to launch a U.K, structured product business and had hired Alex Robinson, ex-director in structured product sales at Barclays Capital. [EFG has since continued its expansion, appointing Alexandre Chesse, a senior structured products salesman at Societe Generale as director in structured solutions for the U.K. market, and hiring Mohamed El-Buhari, also from SocGen, to cover the Middle East region.]
