Goldman Revamps Japan Investment Bank in Post-Quake Push

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. appointed two senior bankers to run Japanese equity and bond underwriting and set up a public-sector group to boost its investment banking business following the country’s record earthquake.

Yasuro Koizumi and Makoto Ito will be co-heads of the financing group in Japan, succeeding Jasper Tans, who will return to London, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News. Mitsunari Okamoto will head the new group that will focus on the government sector, infrastructure and utilities, the memo said.
