率先離場德銀撤出窩輪市場

港交所（388）推出窩輪及牛熊證新指引後，輪場競爭加劇，而成為裁員重災區的德銀窩輪部門率先離場。外電報導，德銀已在亞太區展開裁員行動，其中涉及香港員工達30人，主要來自衍生工具部門，等於整個部門「折埋」。

港裁員30人

德銀發言人昨接受查詢時表示，該行將為已發行的輪證提供報價等服務，但對有關裁員消息不作評論。廉署去年4月揭發德銀窩輪交易員涉嫌貪污及造市案後，德銀已逐步淡出輪場，去年9月後已無再發新輪。目前市面只尚餘四隻德銀窩輪，但多日均未錄得成交。
瑞銀亞洲股票衍生產品銷售部董事總經理于正人對有輪商離場不表意外，他表示，目前大市疲弱，窩輪市場正處於整固，市場佔有率頭三位輪商合共佔超過五成市場份額，「小型輪商更難搵食」。
瑞信香港認股證及牛熊證銷售主管何啟聰則認為，港交所推出輪證新指引，引入主動報價機制，無疑將增加輪商營運成本。有關措施將在年底前實施，不排除個別輪商「計過條數」後，乾脆放棄窩輪市場。

除了窩輪外，德銀其他部門都起勢咁炒。

Deutsche Bank cuts 40 equities bankers in Asia

Deutsche’s cuts are part of a street-wide reduction in equities team staffing in Asia, which is a reflection of how the capital markets have slowed.

Deutsche Bank cut approximately 40 bankers in its equities division in Asia yesterday, which is about 9% of its equities staff, according to sources. This was part of Deutsche’s plan to reduce 1,900 people from its global staff, which it announced on July 31.

“This says a lot more about the industry than a specific bank,” said a source, who pointed out that rival banks are all facing the same problem. The capital markets have slowed and something has to give — so while cuts have been across the board, they’re most notable in equity capital markets and equity trading.

Consider that global $1 billion-plus initial public offerings stand at $25.5 billion this year from just six deals, compared to $47.5 billion dollars from 17 deals in 2011, according to Dealogic. That marks the lowest year-to-date level and activity since 2009……
