While stepping up to lead the ECM effort in Asia-Pacific, Justin Haik will retain his existing role as head of equity syndicate and Ronnie Potel will remain head of equity-linked origination.

Nathan McMurtray joins Standard Chartered as global head of origination for equity-linked securities, a job left open when Morgan Stanley poached three people from the UK bank last month to build its own CB team.

With the hiring of Citi's head of equity-linked origination Ronnie Potel, the UK-based bank shows that it intends to become a serious player in Asia's convertible bond market.
