Six staff members have left the markets division of fixed income broker FIIG, sources told Street Talk Online on Thursday.

Sources suggested the FIIG employees, which include James Shillington, may have been hired by London-based Mint Partners, which was acquired by interdealer broker BGC Partners in 2010 and has been working to establish an Asia-Pacific presence.

FIIG employs 140 people with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. It has over $11 billion assets under management and is the leading fixed income dealer group in Australia.

FIIG also inked a joint venture with prominent investor Mark Carnegie in July 2014 to create Alternate Debt Services, which links high-growth companies with private debt from investors chasing yield.
