Deutsche Securities Inc. (DSI) has named Makoto Yamashita as the new director and chief Japan interest rate strategist within the Global Markets division’s Investment Strategy team.

Yamashita was ranked in the top 10 of the Nikkei Bonds & Financial Weekly’s annual poll from 2005 to 2007 (when it closed) and formerly worked for Lehman Brothers Japan, Inc. as head of Japan interest rate strategy.

Earlier in his career he worked for Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group for a decade.

Global Markets Japan MD Marzio Keiling has welcomed Yamashita’s appointment, which follows on from Takushi Abe becoming DSI’s senior adviser to corporate and investment banking businesses.

Abe has been tasked with a wide role fostering the most important business relationships with the financial institutions of Japan.

He first began his career over a quarter of a century ago with Nomura Securities Ltd., in 1981.

Whilst with Nomura, Abe occupied a broad range of posts, establishing numerous client relationships which he continued to build upon when he joined Goldman Sachs Japan five years ago.
