UBS Revives Japan Equity Strategist Position After Seven Years

UBS Group AG named an equity strategist for Japan for the first time in seven years to meet growing demand from domestic and overseas institutional investors as the nation’s stock market outperforms much of the rest of the world.

The Swiss bank’s Japanese securities arm appointed Nozomi Moriya to the position, according to Mayuko Sato, a spokesman for UBS. Moriya had most recently been an analyst in charge of covering the retail sector.
