Deutsche Bank has hired former CBA Equities research analyst Ross Curran to cover insurance and diversified financials. 

Deutsche sent a note to clients on Friday afternoon transferring coverage of a bunch of financial stocks to Curran.

It's understood he joined Deutsche's Sydney office as a director earlier this month.  

Stocks under his coverage include Suncorp, Insurance Australia Group, QBE Insurance Group, AMP, Mediband and Challenger, among others. 

Curran joined Deutsche from CBA where he covered a similar set of names. He previously worked at UBS.  

He replaces fellow research analyst Kieran Chidgey who left Deutsche to join UBS in September.
