Nomura International is seeking to add two director level securitization bankers to its London office, says Tariq Rafique, head of securitization and asset finance. The new hires are being brought on board in conjunction with Nomura's growing European securitization business (BW, 4/14). One hire will concentrate on commercial mortgage-backed securitizations and the other on residential mortgage-backed deals.
Last week, Nomura rehired Colin Lally to head up corporate and real estate securitization. He reports to Rafique, who says the firm was fortunate to be able to get Lally back. Roughly a year ago, Lally left Nomura to join Marsh Advanced Risk Solutions. He starts at Nomura in May.
