State Street’s ex-head of European trading joins Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

Dale Brooksbank was head of European trading at State Street Global Advisors for over 10 years.

The former head of European trading at State Street Global Advisors has joined the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), according to someone familiar with the matter.

Dale Brooksbank - who departed State Street in July last year - joined the authority in October 2016 as head of equities trading in ADIA’s central dealing department.

A spokesperson for ADIA confirmed the move.
