Calyon's Guillaume Kaminer, head of index trading in the equity derivatives group in Hong Kong, has left, adding to the wave of equity departures at the firm this year in Asia. Officials close to the firm said Kaminer is on gardening leave and will be joining another house in the coming weeks. The bank and role could not be determined by press time.
The equity operation in Asia has been rocked by resignations of senior staff including Jean-Paul Brasier, Asian head of equity derivatives (DW, 6/5) and Arnaud Droitcourt, head of Asia ex-Japan equity derivatives trading (DW, 5/19). Jacques Beyssade, head of capital markets for Asia at Calyon in Hong Kong, did not return messages.
