As a firm they seem to be pretty interested in hearing stuff from the market. It was the only bank I worked with where they wanted some nugget off you each time we went out for dinner. The same people when moved to other banks would behave differently, so I guess it's part of the firm's culture: get some piece of info from each client. Doesn't have to be nefarious though, if it doesn't make money for them they leave. Someone somewhere else in the business will find some other thing.
