Takashi Makita, a senior equity derivatives flow trader at Credit Suisse in London, has left the firm. Makita is tipped for a post at Deutsche Bank, which lost two senior flow traders in May. Officials at the German firm could not be reached immediately and Makita was on gardening leave.
Makita reported in to Matt Downer, responsible for equity derivatives trading at Credit Suisse. Downer referred calls regarding a replacement for Makita to Rebecca O'Neill, spokeswoman, who declined all comment.
