of its investment banking business. The appointment of

both Mr. Dychiao and Max Lami, Chief
Executive and Head of Investment Banking, Europe.
Mr. Dychiao said, "In today's extremely volatile markets, only
the most nimble firms can excel at advising clients on complex
public and private transactions needed to capture strategic and

leadership team strengthens our Group's ability to deliver a wide
array of investment banking solutions to businesses across the
financial services space, including mergers and acquisitions
(M&A), capital raising, and advisory solutions for leading
