SRP understands that Bollinger will continue to be involved with the bank's PIPG business which aligns all the Securities Division's activities across asset classes directed at retail and high net worth clients, although his new role and reporting lines have not been disclosed.
Bollinger is a member of the firm's structured investment products committee, the Asia business practices committee and the Asia suitability and risk committee.
He joined Goldman Sachs in 2004 as a managing director in its fixed income, currency and commodities division in London where he headed the Europe, Middle East and Africa PIPG sales team as well as the securities division franchise in Switzerland.
He moved to Hong Kong in 2010 as a partner at the US investment bank, leading a team of 30 in Asia to build up the structured products business in the region after building Goldman's listed business in Europe. At the time, he was replaced by Marcel Koebeli who left Goldman Sachs in March to join Barclays.
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Bollinger was at JPMorgan in London for five years as a director in the Swiss fixed income and Austrian corporate derivatives marketing teams. Previously, he worked for three years at Finex, a subsidiary of UBS, in fixed income derivatives sales.
He started his career in 1993 at Z++rcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) where he managed the bank's Swiss franc swap and option book in Zurich. He also spent a year in Luxembourg as a money market trader.
Bollinger and Goldman Sachs did not return calls by press time.
