Daiwa Capital Markets, the investment banking arm of Japanese brokerage Daiwa Securities Group, today appointed Chris Brown as its deputy head of Fixed Income for Europe & the Middle East, a newly created role. In addition, the firm announced the appointment of Vince Purton as head of Debt Capital Markets (DCM) for the region.

Brown takes up the London-based role following close to 10 years with Daiwa, most recently in Singapore as managing director, where he successfully oversaw the growth of its Asian fixed income franchise across product lines. Prior to joining Daiwa, Brown worked at Sakura Finance as head of Sales and his experience includes senior positions at Paine Webber and NatWest Capital Markets.

Purton, who is also based in London, steps up following the resignation of Sam Amalou, previously head of DCM. Purton, who was already a managing director within DCM, has been with Daiwa for more than 20 years
