BNP Paribas has recruited Yuri Lin, v.p. at Lehman Brothers in Hong Kong, for a new role in Hong Kong covering derivative product sales for hedge funds. He reports to Emanuel Breiter, head of flow equity derivative sales. Breiter referred calls to Christine Chan, spokeswoman, who declined all comment.
The move is seen as part of a build up into the hedge fund space by the French firm following greater regional interest. BNP established a hedge fund sales desk near the end of last year in Hong Kong (DW, 11/18).
Jonathan Wharton, spokesman for Lehman, declined comment.
