Kepler Cheuvreux’s platform KCx has made a new hire to its execution team, appointing Benjamin Rose as an electronic sales trader.
Based in London, Rose it set to contribute to the firm’s development of its execution strategy and joins after almost 13 years at Rothschild & Co.
Speaking to The TRADE, Chris McConville, global head of execution services and trading at Kepler Cheuvreux, commented: “His experience will be a valuable addition to our team as we continue to expand our electronic execution offering.
“[…] we are focused on providing clients with smarter access to liquidity, greater execution efficiency and more flexible trading solutions. He will play an important role in bringing these capabilities to clients and supporting the continued growth of our electronic trading business.”
McConville also confirmed that further hires across algo trading, portfolio trading and equity execution sales are also expected in January 2027.
Rose initially joined Rothschild & Co as an operations analyst in 2014, before stepping up as an equity trader, and later moving into his most recent role as an electronic sales trader – a position he assumed in January 2025.

Previously in his career, Rose also served as an analyst at HSBC for more than a year and also gained early industry experience at UBS in New York.
Rose is KCx’s most recent addition to its London-based team, and in June 2026, the firm appointed John Meyers as a high touch sales trader.
Meyers joined the desk in September, following a year long stint at Investec as an international sales trader.
Similarly, Leam Conley also joined the London high touch trading sales team in May, after swapping from the buy-side to sell-side, following a seven-year tenure at AXA Investment Managers – now BNP Paribas Asset Management.
