AMA Capital Partners has hired ship-finance banker Nick Smith to increase the firm’s depth in the European market.
Smith is joining the New York-based merchant bank after 16 years with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), where he helped build up the bank's ship-finance portfolio in London and Greece.
That was followed by a 10-month stint, which ended in January, with investment manager Mount Street in London, where he managed a portfolio of non-performing German bank loans.
