Credit Suisse Asset Management's fund linked products group made four new hires late last month, according to an internal memo received by AIN. Eric Keatley and Susan Williams have joined the group as structured product specialist and head of client services, respectively. Keatley previously worked at New York-based Zurich Capital Markets and Banc of America Securities where he built their respective fund-linked technology platforms.

James Sweeney and Colin Sims joined from Société Générale to develop risk management solutions. The duo previously worked together at Banc of America Securities' fund-linked business before it was acquired by Société Générale. Inquiries to Sweeney and Sims were referred to Tony Pesco, who did not return phone calls. Credit Suisse and SocGen spokesmen did not comment by press time.
