UBS Group AG is strengthening its presence in Japan's financial sector by hiring three experienced sales professionals.
The goal is to expand the firm's offerings of high-yield structured investments and tailored derivative products to local financial institutions.
The recent hires include Shuhei Sanada, Eiichiro Yoshida, and Hiroaki Sato, who bring expertise in institutional sales, institutional products and strategy, and cross-asset products and solutions, respectively.
This move comes as competition among international banks in Japan increases, with firms seeking talent with established relationships within local financial institutions.

The competitive landscape in Japan's financial sector is dynamic, with major players actively recruiting talent.
Skilled professionals who can navigate the complexities of the local market and deliver tailored financial solutions are in high demand.
