JPMorgan has lost David Barrosse, co-head of Asian derivatives in New York, according to officials at the firm. Barrosse joined the firm last year to set up a global hedge fund marketing group for the Asian market, hiring several staff in Hong Kong (DW, 3/3/02). Barrosse could not be reached for comment. Michael Dorfsman, spokesman, confirmed the departure.
"Barrosse put them on the map for hedge fund sales in the region," said an equity marketing head at a rival firm in Hong Kong. Reasons for the departure could not be determined by press time.
