Spanish term or phrase: mesa de capitales
This term is found in a Mexican document on the auditing of a brokerage firm. I am unsure of the exact term in English. It appears several times in the document. One example is:

Requerimos una lista de inasistencias incluyendo el periodo vacacional de los operadores de la mesa de capitales del 2013.


Another example:

Relación actualizada de Funcionarios (Director de la Mesa de Capitales, Sistemas, Jurídico y Contralor Normativo)

Thanks in advance.

Capital Markets
Explanation:
My research led me to the site below, which appears in English and Spanish. The firm is based in Spain, so this translation may not fit Mexico. On the other hand, it makes a lot of sense.

Asker: Thanks patinba, but I have chosen to use "trading desk" for "mesa de operaciones" which also appears in the document. I would like to differentiate between the two terms.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think I am going to go with capital markets desk, which seems to be the proper term. I had been searching "capital market desk" but didn't come up with many hits. "Capital markets desk" however gives quite a few. Thank you everyone!
