JP Morgan has made two senior hires to its investment banking unit in China, including a new head of equity capital markets for Greater China, according to people familiar with the matter.

The US bank has recruited Kelvin Cho to run ECM for Greater China, the people said. Cho, who will be based in Hong Kong, is joining from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he was most recently a director in ECM in Greater China. Cho joined BAML in 2010. He previously worked at BNP Paribas and Credit Suisse in Hong Kong. At JP Morgan, he will report to David Suen, head of ECM for Asia ex-Japan.
