Arline Sueng and Rudy Nakache have joined the Amundi FICC trading desk as senior credit trader and rate trader respectively, The TRADE can reveal.
The move follows Groupama Asset Management and Amundi Intermediation’s strategic partnership, announced in May, which saw the firms merge their trading capacities to enhance trading efficiencies.
Both moved to Amundi on 1 September, The TRADE understands.
The Paris-based traders previously worked under head of the trading desk at Groupama AM, Eric Heleine, and will now report to Christophe Marcilloux, head of fixed income dealing at Amundi Intermédiation.
