* ING Barings announced this week that its Asian chief executive Jeremy Palmer is to be re-located to London, where he will take up a new appointment as head of global corporate finance. Hong Kong-based Palmer will remain a member of the Asian regional management committee and as joint head of equities at ING until a successor is found. Palmer joined Barings Brothers in 1994 shortly before its collapse. He previously worked in the equity divisions of Salomon Brothers and JP Morgan. Following Barings' acquisition by ING Bank, Palmer became regional head of investment banking, and more recently moved into a debt origination role under his most recent title as regional CEO.
