UBS Warburg last week brought aboard Laurent Combalot, head of sales at Indosuez W.I. Carr Securities in Hong Kong, in a new role as executive director in the equity risk management group in Hong Kong covering Asia ex-Japan. Combalot said he will handle equity derivative sales and structuring for institutional clients in the region. "I'll be offering a wide range of products," noted Combalot. The firm will market such products as equity-linked notes, capital guaranteed products and index-swaps.
Combalot now reports to Chi-Won Yoon, managing director of equity risk management in Hong Kong. "As a customer-driven organization, our perspective has been to add a couple of people to insure that we can offer the highest quality of service," said Yoon.
At W.I. Carr, Combalot reported to Paul Saubestre, managing director and Asian head of equity derivatives in Hong Kong. Saubestre did not respond to messages. W.I. Carr is a subsidiary of France's Crédit Agricole Indosuez.
