JP Morgan has made two equity capital market hires in China and India as global investment banks seek growth in emerging markets, despite of the slowdown in equity issuance in the first half of this year.

David Suen recently joined the US bank as a managing director with a focus on equity origination in Greater China. He will be based in Hong Kong and report to Kester Ng, JP Morgan's head of ECM for Asia-Pacific excluding Japan. Suen has more than 15 years of ECM experience in the region, most recently with UBS and previously at BNP Paribas.
