Vishal Tourani, equity derivatives analyst at Credit Lyonnais in Hong Kong, has resigned due to personal reasons. "I'm looking to take some time off from the industry--as well as watch the Hong Kong Sevens," he said, referring to the international rugby tournament. Tourani was part of the derivatives team that revived the firm's role as a structurer of warrants on baskets of Chinese B shares last year, four years after pioneering the first basket (DW 6/10). He reported to Jean Paul Brasier, head of equity derivatives in Tokyo. Brasier was on vacation and could not be reached.
