Emilio Hunolt Joins in London
In a joint statement, Jon Pliner, Head of European Credit Sales and Trading, and Kenton Jernigan, Head of European Credit Sales, commented, "We are delighted to welcome Emilio Hunolt, whose experience, knowledge and strong relationships complement our existing high yield franchise in Europe and will allow us to better serve clients globally. This additional capability brings another level of service and liquidity to our institutional clients and provides increased counterparty options within the leveraged loan space. Emilio's addition is a natural extension of our US loan business, and his expertise significantly strengthens Jefferies' growing European credit business and will enable our customers to trade loans globally."
In August, Jefferies announced the appointment of Mr. Pliner as Head of European Credit Sales and Trading. The Firm's broad fixed income effort now includes approximately 400 professionals globally who are focused on the sales and trading of investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, government and agency securities, repo finance, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, whole loans, leveraged loans, distressed securities and emerging market debt. Jefferies was also designated as a Primary Dealer by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York in June of this year.
Mr. Hunolt joins Jefferies from Dresdner Kleinwort, where he worked for more than eight years and was most recently a Director and Head of Loan Trading.
