Maxcor Financial Group, a broker-dealer in New York, has lost four more of its corporate traders and salesmen, bringing to at least five the number of corporate bond professionals it has lost in recent weeks.
Gil Scharf, president, chairman and ceo of Maxcor, did not return calls.
One headhunter said it is unclear whether the departures will be replaced. They include Jon Sablowsky, head of fixed-income trading and sales, to Brownstone Investment Group as a senior v.p. in high-yield trading. Sablowsky had joined Maxcor this spring (BW, 3/15). Also joining Brownstone as v.p. in high-yield trading is John Kuchar, high-yield trader at Maxcor.
The other former Maxcor professionals are Jeremy Rogoff, senior v.p. in investment grade trading, who has joined Cantor Fitzgerald, as senior v.p. in corporate sales and Jonathan Katouf, v.p. in corporate sales, who also moved to Cantor in a similar role.
Maxcor also lost Stephen DiTursi, head of fixed-income trading and sales, this summer (BW, 8/23), less than a year after he joined the firm (BW, 1/19). And two junk salesmen, Robert Griener and John Driscoll, returned to R.W. Pressprich & Co. after a one month stint at Maxcor this spring (BW, 4/19).
