Deutsche Bank has hired Shoki Omori, a former fixed-income strategist at Mizuho Financial Group, as a fixed-income strategist in Tokyo, according to 36Kr. An internal memo seen by media and confirmed by a bank spokesperson said Omori has joined Deutsche Bank’s Japan-based local asset management subsidiary, where he will research and analyze Japan’s interest-rate market for both domestic and overseas clients. The move comes as Japan’s roughly $7.2 trillion government bond market shows signs of recovery and banks compete to expand specialist talent.
