PNC Capital Markets said Friday that it has formed a three-member  merger and acquisition team in Philadelphia. 
PNC, a unit of PNC Bank Corp. in Pittsburgh, already had M&A teams in  Pittsburgh and East Brunswick, N.J. The addition of the Philadelphia group   brings the number of professionals in PNC's M&A unit to 10.   
  
The group focuses on deals valued at $15 million to $100 million.
The new Philadelphia M&A team consists of Gordon J. Metz, Diana L.  Paterno, and Sara Hassell. All three were executives at the former   CoreStates Financial Corp., Philadelphia.   
  
PNC recently began a global treasury management and foreign exchange and  derivatives trading effort in Philadelphia. It also built a currency and   investment trading room there.
