ABN Amro has continued its recent hiring spree by adding five analysts to its equity research team, including Jamie Tunnicliffe, a former utilities analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston.

The appointments follow a spate of hires by the Dutch bank to expand its Asian and European equities teams. On Monday, the bank made three sales, sales trading and trading hires to its European cash trading desk. Last week, it added 20 staff to its Asia-Pacific equities operation.
