Kepler Cheuvreux has bolstered its fixed income offering, appointing Niklas Janetski in a role covering senior convertible bond and special situations credit sales.
Janetski will be based in London in his new role, working alongside the firm’s fixed income teams in Paris, Geneva, Stockholm and Dubai.
Over the course of his career, he has worked extensively across convertible bonds for almost two decades, covering both sales and trading.
Speaking to The TRADE about the appointment, Stephan Kovarski, head of debt and credit developed markets, said: “This demonstrates Kepler Cheuvreux’s commitment to convertible bonds, an activity we have covered for over 10 years and continue to develop across regions.”
Janetski joins the firm from Mizuho, where he spent eight years, most recently as director and co-head of EMEA convertible bond trading.
Prior to this, he has worked extensively at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, initially joining in a middle-office role in 2007, focusing on European convertible bonds.
Following this, he spent eight years in a convertible bond sales role, before moving into a trading-based role on the firm’s European convertible bonds desk for a further seven years.
Janetski’s appointment follows a spate of recent hires for Kepler Cheuvreux, with Andrew Westoby joining the firm’s KCx platform as a high touch sales trader in March 2026.
In addition, in February 2026, Vito Scarola and Sam Dawson were also appointed to high touch sales trading roles, based out of New York and London, respectively.
