JPMorgan has signed up derivatives broker Kieran O'Connor to source illiquid assets for its Northern European derivatives marketing team. Reached at JPMorgan, O'Connor declined all comment. Sarah Oppler, spokeswoman in London, said he is a v.p. reporting to co-heads of the desk Ian Wilson andMarc Badrichani. Both were off the desk and could not be reached by press time.
Before JPMorgan, O'Connor ran his own multi asset-class brokering business called Cortin Capital. He is the second recent addition to the financial institution derivatives marketing group following Raymond de Kuiper, who landed this month from Morgan Stanley (DW, 3/10).
