Societe Generale is set to cut a team of London-based equity advisory bankers, a move that comes two weeks after the French group announced plans to strip out €500m in costs from its investment bank.

France’s third-largest bank has put a team of eight investment bankers covering equity deals in northern Europe and emerging markets “at risk”, according to people familiar with the move.
