CreditSights, the independent fixed-income research provider based in New York, has hired two analysts to start up a London credit research effort, according to firm president Paul Ciasullo. The analysts, Anja King and Nehche Yazgan, were from Deutsche Bank's London investment-grade research group, and were added in response to European investor demand. King had been co-head of the investment-grade group for the past year. It could not be determined who would assume coverage duties for the two. CreditSights' staff now includes 14 senior analyst's covering both corporate and sovereign credits.
Ciasullo says King will cover telecom, including Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom. Yazgan will cover the auto sector, including Fiat. He says both will split other industrial credit research duties.
