Bank of America eliminated some investment banking roles on Monday, including in New York, according to three sources familiar with the situation who declined to be identified discussing personnel matters.

Reuters reported Bank of America, the nation's second-largest bank, has been streamlining its investment banking workforce globally. The reduction, an annual exercise, comes weeks after Bank of America let go of staff in its investment banking and global markets divisions globally as part of an annual performance review process.

Bank of America has eliminated 150 junior banker jobs in its investment bank, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. The bank's latest cuts follow similar exercises at rivals JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs and are part of an annual process to cut under-performers.
