Credit Suisse financial sponsors banker joins buy-side
Credit Suisse financial sponsors coverage banker Evan Kilpatrick has left the firm to join investment manager QIC Ltd.
As first reported by Street Talk on Monday, Kilpatrick is expected to re-locate to Brisbane to join QIC's global private capital team, which oversees private equity investments.
Kilpatrick had been head of financial sponsors coverage within Credit Suisse's Australian investment banking team since the start of this year.
He had previously worked for Credit Suisse in investment banking and capital markets in New York and Sydney.
QIC is an Australian investment manager with $86.1 billion in funds under management as at June 30 split across its infrastructure, real estate, private capital, liquid strategies and multi-asset teams.
Its private capital team, which is run by Marcus Simpson, has about $6 billion invested globally in private equity funds and via direct investments and co-investments.
Credit Suisse has been working to beef up its deal advisory ranks following a raft of departures.
In July, the Swiss bank appointed the global head of software in the firm's technology investment banking and capital markets group, James Disney, as co-head of the investment bank alongside resources banker Mark Carlile.
