TD Bank expanded its global financial institutions investment banking team in the U.S. as well as other product areas, including equity sales, equity capital markets, debt capital markets and equity research. With these additions, the TD Securities global financial institutions investment team will offer a full suite of products and services to financial institutions clients.
The expanded global financial institutions investment banking team will be co-led by Managing Directors Geoff Bertram in Toronto and Jim Spencer in New York. Bertram has more than 23 years of experience in North American capital markets, including 12 years with TD Securities’ equity capital markets group. Spencer has more than 25 years of experience, most recently at Credit Suisse, where he was head of Americas for the financial institutions group since 2014.
Michael Giudice, Alston Lambert, Arvind Sriram, David Stolzar, Eric Tell and Taryn Widén also join the global financial institutions investment banking team.
“We are thrilled to announce our expanded global FIG business and the growth of our offerings across North America,” Tim Wiggan, co-head of global investment banking at TD Securities, said. “Geoff, Jim and the entire team bring decades of industry knowledge and deep expertise that will be instrumental in the group’s success.”
“The growth of our global FIG team is a tremendous step for the combined TD Cowen and TD Securities platforms,” Larry Wieseneck, co-head of global investment banking at TD Securities, said. “Tim and I are excited to watch the team continue to build its financial institutions business delivering a full suite of solutions to our clients.”
As part of this expansion, TD Securities also made hires across its global markets and research teams. Scott Smith joined as managing director of equity sales, while Bill Katz, Andrew Kligerman and Moshe Orenbuch joined as senior research analysts.
