Macquarie to cut jobs

Macquarie Group Ltd, Australia’s biggest investment bank, stopped issuing structured products out of Asia as of 13 June and will cut jobs from its structured products team, people familiar with the matter said. The Sydney-based investment bank will continue to offer warrants, convertible bonds and equity finance products in Asia, one of the people said. Macquarie, in an e-mailed response, declined to comment on the matter on Monday. The move came after ABN Amro Bank NV, the Dutch state-owned bank, said it would cut about 100 jobs as it exits equity derivatives and shuts its Asian markets business. Executives overseeing rates and foreign-exchange structuring operations in Asia at Barclays Plc and those heading global and Asia equity derivatives distribution and sales at Morgan Stanley left the banks earlier this month.
