Commerzbank, Germany's third-biggest bank, has announced an overhaul of its investment banking division in the City. The bank, which employs 1,200 in the division, mainly in London, outlined its plans as it unveils third-quarter results. After a wide-ranging review, the German bank is shifting the emphasis of the business from London to Frankfurt and admitted yesterday that the 576-strong London securities arm workforce would be cut to 301. In total, the worldwide head count in the division will fall by 40% from 1,276 to 787 as the bank closes down its Tokyo securities operation and scales back its New York business. Overall, 900 jobs out of 2,000 in the wider investment banking division will be cut.
