The new hire was formerly a managing director at Stifel and joins the firm as it continues to build out its fixed income sales business, The TRADE can reveal. 

Sigma Capital Partners clients will be able to access global equities products through a single OMS; move will also expand the firm’s MENA offering.  

As nominations for the 2026 Rising Stars of Trading and Execution Awards close today, 17 August, The TRADE revisits the talented individuals recognised across the awards since their launch in 2015.

New hire returns to the bank after a 10-year stint at DTCC, having previously worked at Lehman Brothers and Kemper Clearing Corp.  

The past week saw a run of hires across trading desks, including a buy-side head of trading appointment. 

The integration will allow the Indonesian bank to leverage LSEG’s multi-asset class AI-ready data and analytics, as well as gain access to LSEG’s workflow solutions.  

The integration is set to boost ABN AMRO Clearing’s current client offering for around-the-clock trading and follows increasing momentum from global firms and exchanges to shift to 24/5 models.  

The integration will allow users to query the stock exchange market data in plain language through AI platforms already in use, removing the need for specialist terminals, complex APIs or technical intermediaries. 

New hire joins after nearly seven years at Berenberg, where he most recently served as an electronic equities trader.  

The deal is set to close in Q1 2027 and aligns with increasing investor demand for modern derivative income ETF solutions.  

The funding forms part of Finster AI’s Series B financing round, and is set to support research, analysis and content workflows for investment banking and asset management.
