By Niket Nishant and Manya Saini Oct 3 (Reuters) – Flagstar Bank is looking to build out its investment office and will begin hiring soon, a top executive told Reuters, as the lender looks to reduce its reliance on distressed commercial real estate lending. The plan, which is in an early stage, underscores the lender's effort to tap into wealth management for a steady source of revenue, which could prove to be crucial in its effort to cut exposure to CRE loans that had hurt results last year. "I'm looking to hire a couple of people this year. And then next year, I'm going to follow that on with double or triple that amount," said Brett Mitstifer, chief investment officer of private banking and wealth management, in an interview. The lender will soon begin distributing market views internally, with external client communications to follow, said Mitstifer, an HSBC veteran who took up the new role in September. Flagstar is a unit of Flagstar Financial, which was known as New York Community Bancorp until it was rebranded last year. The bank had last year come under pressure when elevated interest rates and weak demand for office-space strained CRE borrowers, prompting a $1 billion capital infusion and a leadership shake-up, including the appointment of a new CEO. Mitstifer said the bank's clients are now confident in the safety of their funds at Flagstar. "People understand what happened. And they get comfortable very quickly when they meet the management team," he said. The bank's shares have gained about 25% this year in a sign of investor support to the turnaround efforts, outpacing the benchmark S&P 500's 14.2% rise in the same period. The wealth management industry, however, is an ultra-competitive field dominated by Wall Street heavyweights such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which oversee trillions in assets and command a big share of the market. Mitstifer said smaller banks such as Flagstar can carve out a niche by offering more personalized service and quicker responses, something that is often lacking at bigger institutions. "There's a bit of a void out there after the regional banking crisis," he said. (Reporting by Niket Nishant and Manya Saini in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)

* Attacker identified as British man of Syrian descent * Manchester home to largest Jewish community outside London * Interior minister criticises pro-Palestinian protests (Recasts, adds prime minister's visit, detail on planned protest, context throughout) By Sam Tabahriti and Hannah McKay MANCHESTER, England Oct 3 (Reuters) – British police said on Friday they may have accidentally shot two victims, including one who died, in their attempts to bring under control an attack on a Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. In Thursday's attack two men, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed after a British man of Syrian descent drove a car into pedestrians and then began stabbing several people outside Manchester's Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. The attacker, whom armed officers shot dead at the scene, was not carrying a firearm, said Greater Manchester Police chief constable Steve Watson, though one of those killed suffered a gunshot wound. "It follows therefore this injury may have been sustained as a tragic and unforeseen consequence of the urgently required action taken by my officers to bring this vicious attack to an end", Watson said in a statement. UK VOWS TO CRACK DOWN ON ANTISEMITISM Watson said another worshipper is believed to have suffered a non life-threatening gunshot wound, and that it is thought both victims were close together behind the synagogue door, as worshippers tried to prevent the attacker from gaining entry. Police have named the attacker as Jihad al-Shamie, 35, and said they could find no records to show he had been referred to the government's anti-radicalisation programme. The British government vowed to redouble its efforts to tackle antisemitism as the Jewish community reeled from the attack. On Friday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the site of the attack and spoke with members of the Jewish community. He did not make any public statements, but said earlier that al-Shamie wanted to "attack Jews because they are Jews". Police also urged organisers of a planned protest in London this weekend in support of a banned pro-Palestinian group to cancel or postpone the event, saying it would divert police resources needed to protect fearful communities. Organisers said the protest, the latest in a series in which police have arrested more than 1,500 people, would go ahead, and that it was the police's choice whether to make more arrests of people "peacefully holding signs". Like other European countries and the United States, Britain has recorded a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents in the nearly two years since the war in Gaza started. Israel has accused Britain of allowing rampant antisemitism to spread through its cities and universities, and repeated that criticism after Thursday's attack. Starmer last month announced that Britain was recognising a Palestinian state, a decision that was criticised by Israel as a "huge reward to terrorism". Britain's interior minister, Shabana Mahmood, criticised pro-Palestinian protests that took place hours after the Manchester attack, calling them un-British and dishonourable and urging people to show a bit more "humanity and some love towards a community that is grieving". ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS, JEWISH COMMUNITY'S CONCERNS The killing shocked Britain's Jews, particularly in Manchester, home to the country's largest Jewish community outside London and a highly diverse city. Many Jewish leaders noted that they were the only faith in Britain that routinely required security at its institutions. Last year was the second worst on record for antisemitic incidents in Britain, surpassed only by 2023, according to the Community Security Trust, which provides security to Jewish organisations across Britain. It recorded more than 3,500 incidents last year. Islamophobic incidents in Britain have also increased since the start of the Gaza war. On Friday morning there was a heavy police presence at the scene of the attack, with debris still lying in the street and bunches of flowers being left nearby. Dawud Taj, a 28-year-old from Manchester, said the government should have done a better job at protecting people. "There's an atmosphere in the air," he told Reuters as he walked to the city centre, "and everything feels a little bit shaky".

(Adds details throughout) Oct 3 (Reuters) – Rocket Pharmaceuticals said on Friday it has withdrawn its application for U.S. approval of its experimental gene therapy for a rare inherited blood disorder. The therapy RP-L102 was being tested in patients with Fanconi anemia, characterized by impaired bone marrow function which leads to a decrease in the production of blood cells. The company said the move was driven by business strategy and not by concerns about the treatment safety or efficacy. Rocket said it will consider external partnership opportunities for RP-L102.
