Nicolas Bader has joined Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) as head of cross-asset and systematic execution after nearly 19 years at GIC.
Bader will be based out of Abu Dhabi in his new role, relocating from London where he most recently served as a senior execution trader at GIC, covering equities, FX, fixed income and commodities for all liquid instruments.
Speaking in an announcement on social media, Bader said: “I’m excited to be working with exceptional teams, and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to what lies ahead. Looking forward to building together and to the journey ahead.”
He initially joined GIC as an equity and commodity trader in 2007, before moving into a fixed income and FX trading role, and later stepping into his most recent position.
Previously in his career, he served as an equity derivatives prop trader at Natixis, based out of Paris.
ADIA had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
