LCF Rothschild has hired Jacque Bocquest and Joel Pinto to run the new business. They both join from Neuflize Arbitrage, the alternative asset management unit of Banque de Neuflize, a French private bank owned by ABN Amro. Mr Bocquest and Mr Pinto founded Neuflize Arbitrage in 2003 and were chairman and chief executive respectively.
