The relaunched investment banking business of Aton Capital has hired a senior analyst and an equity sales executive previously employed by Renaissance Capital.
Ivan Nikolaev and Maxim Kabanov join Aton as a senior analyst and a vice president of equity and fixed income sales, respectively. Nikolaev had been an analyst covering Russia agriculture and pharma at Rencap, while Kabanov has covered equity sales in Russia and Central Asia.
The Aton brand was subsequently dropped in February this year and the Russian business was renamed UniCredit Securities.
However, Evgeny Yuriev, the president and founder of Aton Capital, is re-entering the investment banking market after retaining the Aton Line discount brokerage and Aton asset management businesses.
Aton is building a full service investment bank and is looking to hire up to 50 bankers, according to recruiters.
Brokerage Otrkrite has also tapped a former Rencap employee having hired George Zarya as senior sales executive for DMA (direct market access), which allows buy-side institutions to access liquidity venues without having to go through an execution desk.
Zarya had been at Rencap for over three years working on international DMA sales until a month ago.
