UBS has promoted its co-head of equity syndicate and block originationexecution for Asia, Sam Kendall, to head of equity syndicate for Europe, the Middle East and Africa EMEA as well as to a new role as global head of blocks, according to an internal announcement. The appointment is no doubt in recognition of the steady stream of block trades that Kendall and the co-head of Asia syndicate, James Fleming, has been arranging in Asia over the past three years, despite the difficult markets.
As Kendall relocates to London for his new position, Fleming will take over the sole responsibility for the equity syndicate desk in Asia.
