Investec has turned to Jefferies for the hire of a third corporate broking co-head, becoming the latest bank to target additional UK business by building up its broking arm.

Sara Hale, most recently a managing director in corporate broking at Jefferies Hoare Govett, will join Investec as co-head of corporate broking alongside Keith Anderson and Patrick Robb later this year, according to a person familiar with the move.
