Investec Bank has made two senior appointments to its fixed income and ETFs teams, as it continues its expansion of the firm’s client execution solutions.
William Boddy
William Boddy joins the firm as head of fixed income and ETFs, while Ben Goodchild has been named as the deputy head of the same division, both are set to support the firm in building out its high-touch execution model.
Clive Murray, head of equities at Investec, said: “The appointment of William Boddy and Ben Goodchild is an important step in accelerating the growth of our fixed income and ETF business.
“These are fast-growing areas of the market where clients are looking for more choice, greater efficiency and access to innovative solutions. By adding their deep expertise, we can broaden the services we provide and open up a wider range of investment opportunities for our clients.”
The London-based pair join from UK market maker Winterflood Securities, where they both spent the last two decades working across fixed income, in roles covering trading and senior leadership positions.
Previously in his career, Boddy also worked at Deutsche Bank for a short stint, where he covered options reconciliations.

Speaking on his appointment, Goodchild said: “Joining Investec is a chance to be part of a business that genuinely puts clients at the centre of its execution strategy. By extending into fixed income and ETFs, we can offer a broader set of solutions that combine market expertise with innovative technology.”
The appointments align with the recent launch of the firm’s new electronic trading platform, ZebrA-X in February 2025, aimed at facilitating low-touch equity trading, and designed to facilitate the efficient execution of block trades and helps in reducing both pre- and post-trade signalling through the capability to internalise institutional and retail order flow.
Additionally, the moves follow news in July that Winterflood Securities is set to be acquired by Marex in a cash deal valued at approximately £103.9 million, expected to close in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
