Renaissance Group is cutting 10 percent of its global work force to "align" costs with current market conditions.
"We are still hiring and still investing across all of our geographies because it's a very favorable market," spokesman Preston Mendenhall said.
The group includes Renaissance Capital, an investment bank partly owned by Mikhail Prokhorov. The job cuts will not affect the consumer-lending unit, Renaissance Credit, Mendenhall said.
Renaissance increased its investment banking, asset management, real estate and private equity headcount by 7 percent in the first six months to 1,250.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
