A renowned China banking analyst has left UBS after more than five years.
Hong Kong-based Jason Bedford left the bank, according to a «Reuters» report, which also highlighted a «garden leave» note on his LinkedIn profile.
Bedford was previously with KPMG where he held roles in financial advisory, audit and management consulting services.
«The Canadian analyst, who speaks Mandarin, is known to pore over every page of hundreds of Chinese banks’ financial statements to write broader research reports flagging distressed debt trend and systemic risks in the sector,» the report added, describing Bedford’s work as «deeply researched reports».
