UBS is making a round of cuts to senior staff at its London equities business, the latest bank to swing the axe in what has been an unforgiving year for stock traders.

The cuts follow a reshuffle of the group’s investment bank leaders last month in which its sales and trading businesses were brought together under the leadership of Jason Barron and George Athanasopoulos, the heads of equities and fixed income, respectively.
