Nicholson leaves Bank of China after five years as ECM head

Marshall Nicholson has left Bank of China International BOCI after slightly more than five years with the firm. During this time he has played a key role in building a competitive international capital markets platform that has helped numerous Chinese companies raise capital in Hong Kong.

Nicholson, who was global head of equity capital markets and vice-chairman of investment banking, was the first senior foreign banker to join Bank of China’s investment banking arm.

He wrote in an email announcing his departure yesterday that he will stay within the investment banking and capital markets business in Hong Kong, but did not elaborate on his next appointment.
