Nesbitt shunts executive

Nesbitt Burns Inc., the brokerage unit of Bank of Montreal in Quebec, has removed Jim Beqaj as the head of its global fixed income group. Beqaj, who entered the company only two years ago, will be replaced by Chicago, IL-based Bill Downe. The move is in line with the Bank of Montreal's strategy of integrating its fixed-income operations with the bank's money market and foreign exchange units. Downe, the bank's current EVP of corporate banking, will take over the operations of a combined trading and treasury business.
