Ed Oppedisano has left Deutsche Bank, where he was a director and investment-grade analyst covering technology, media and telecom. As first reported last week on www.bondweek.com, he will join UBS Principal Finance, a New York-based buy-side fund at UBS Warburg. Oppedisano says he had an opportunity to stay at Deutsche Bank, but took the new position because considers it "the best job on Wall Street." He starts today and reports to Peter Abramenko, managing director. He did not return calls. Ted Meyer, a Deutsche Bank spokesman, would not comment on Oppedisano's reason for leaving, citing firm policy.
Oppedisano becomes the third of what will eventually be four analysts, according to fixed-income officials familiar with the group's plans.
