Jorg Spanier joins HgCapital after four years as an investment banker in the financial sponsors group at Citigroup. Marcus Chandler, who will work with Hg's client services and fund raising team, also joins from Merrill Lynch, where he worked as an analyst on the UK equities team before later joining the private equity group. Both join the Frankfurt office. The fifth appointment is of Philipp Schwalber, who has been a member of Hg's healthcare team since he joined the firm's London office in 2000 but moves to Frankfurt as an associate director.
