UBS Hires Ex-Goldman’s Fukaya as Banker Covering Japan Lenders

UBS Group AG hired Kazuhiko Fukaya, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. head of sales to Japan’s regional banks, as part of an effort to win investment banking deals.

Fukaya joined UBS Securities Japan Co. in Tokyo as an executive director on Friday, a spokesman confirmed. He will work as an investment banker covering local financial institutions, signaling a role shift to dealmaking after he spent more than two decades selling securities and other products to those companies.
