CSAM lays off 19 staff in rebuild

Credit Suisse Asset Management (CSAM) in New York is discontinuing its structured equities and enhanced indexing businesses, resulting in up to 19 lay-offs.

Jim McCaughan, chief executive of CSAM Americas, said the lay-offs were a result of the discontinuation of the business lines that are not part of the firm's core activities and did not develop as expected, despite good talent.
