RBC Capital Markets has named Geoffroy Samarcq as its new head of multi asset quantitative investment strategy (QIS) structuring, effective July 2025.
The new role will see Samarcq managing the multi asset QIS structuring teams out of New York, as well as helping to drive RBC’s positioning in the expanding QIS sector.
His position will also cover the full value chain and all asset classes, and he is set to functionally report to Fabian DePrey, managing director, global head of US market sales.
He will also report locally to Greg Hart, head of US global markets sales.
Speaking on the appointment, RBC said: “As we continue to hone multi-asset strengths to deliver strong client solutions, QIS is a strategic priority for us, and we are committed to investing in its growth.”
Samarcq brings extensive experience across the QIS ecosystem to his new position, and previously held the title of managing director, head of US cross asset and global FICC strategic indices structuring at JP Morgan from October 2021.
Prior to this, he also worked at Bank of America Securities from June 2013 to October 2021, covering roles as global head of FICC QIS structuring and director of equity structuring.
He started his career covering equities and hybrid structuring at Goldman Sachs.
The appointment follows further recent hires for RBC. In May 2025, Harry Williams joined the London team as a credit trader, following on from his previous role at MUFG as a senior European financials trader.
