Ajay Khanna, managing director and head of equity derivatives trading at Wachovia Securities in New York, has left the firm. He did not respond to messages left with colleagues and could not be reached. Elise Wilkinson, spokeswoman for Wachovia, declined comment.
Khanna joined Wachovia from Morgan Stanley in the summer. Market scuttlebutt has it that he may join other former Morgan Stanley colleagues at hedge fund Old Lane Management (DW, 2/17).
