They will come by e-mail, they will come by post, hell, they will even be handed-delivered by enthusiastic recruiters. CVs are most certainly on their way to Mizuho Securities and Barclays Capital, as Bloomberg reports that the Japanese securities firm is looking to hire 150 investment bankers in London as it beefs up its M&A and equities business, and BarCap, too, is after M&A bankers and equity folk across Europe, in what has been described as the firm's 'single' biggest initiative this year'. Barclays Capital is already thought to have brought on over 450 staff into its Asian and European cash equities business since it acquired Lehman's US businesses last fall.
Talking of Barclays, Dow Jones Newswires reports that the bank's CEO John Varley said earlier this week that the tide of the financial crisis may have turned. Green shoots, it seems, have emerged. Varley said: 'Market conditions are far from normal, but money market spreads have come in considerably, and term liquidity is slowly starting to improve, particularly that denominated in US dollars'.
In the meantime, Reuters reports that Deutsche Bank has agreed to buy Dresdner's Global Agency Securities lending unit from Commerzbank for an undisclosed sum.
And The Financial Times reports that German insurer Allianz has posted a 97% fall in its first-quarter profits to $39.7m, mainly on writedowns on investments relating to the sale of Dresdner Bank to Commerzbank.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Lehman Brothers is looking to spin off its remaining assets, which include real estate and private-equity holdings. The assets are thought to be worth around $45bn.
Finally, Financial News reports that US hedge funds' finest raised $45m this week for the Robin Hood Foundation, which specializes in fighting poverty in New York City. Although down from the $57m raised last year, it was a good effort in this difficult times.
