Lehman Brothers has nabbed Muse Kwong, v.p. and structurer at Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong, for a similar role on its Hong Kong desk. Kwong will handle interest rate and foreign exchange structuring and report to Kirk Sweeney, head of Asia ex-Japan fixed income sales at Lehman in Hong Kong. Sweeney did not return calls. Kwong, who is said to start in the coming weeks, could not be reached for comment.
At Merrill, Kwong reported to Antony Hung, managing director and head of debt markets for the Asia Pacific region in Hong Kong, who did not return calls.
