Bank of America Merrill Lynch has suffered as many as four senior departures from its European equities business in London, led by the head of financing and client services for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, who leaves after only three months in charge.

Ashley Wilson, who took on sole responsibility for the Emea financing and client services division in late February following the resignation of his former co-head, Ian Carton, quit last month and will join Barclays Capital after a period of gardening leave.
