Judith Putterman, a veteran corporate bond trader, has joined Fuji Securities in New York to start a corporate bond trading desk. Putterman, who started last week, most recently worked at Coastal Securities, and prior to that, Oppenheimer & Co. At Fuji, she will specialize in covering and providing liquidity to institutional accounts, and will focus primarily on investment-grade credits in the secondary market. Bernie Jensen, who will be Putterman's supervisor, said the hire was made to complement Fuji in its core areas of government and agency bond trading. Jensen would not comment when asked if this was the first of a series of hires in this area.
