J.P. Morgan Securities is planning to relocate its head of European asset-backed research. Chris Flanagan, managing director and head of global structured finance research in New York, says Ed Reardon, who has covered the European ABS market from New York for the past two years or so, will relocate to London in the coming weeks. "He was here more for person reasons, but the more logical place to be doing it is in London. The idea is to be more integrated in the European market," Flanagan says. Reardon will continue to report to Flanagan.
