Less than a week to go! The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution

Join us for an evening celebrating the next generation of trading talent, including an exclusive panel Q&A with speakers from M&G, HSBC, Instinet, and AXA Investment Managers. 

By Editors

The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution Awards, 2025, in collaboration with Instinet, is taking place on 8 October at One Moorgate Place. 

The evening will celebrate 25 of the most talented up and coming buy-side individuals, those who go above and beyond, whether that be through day-to-day activities or through thought leadership on industry platforms. 

Previously recognised individuals have gone on to head up some of the largest and most successful desks across leading asset managers and hedge funds, and the latest cohort look set to be equally as successful.

The TRADE’s Rising Stars event of course wouldn’t be complete without an expert panel discussing all things rising stars, including what’s front of mind for heads of desks, which skills to prioritise, and some invaluable advice for the next generation. 

Speaking this year will be Brian Mitchell, global head of dealing at M&G, Benjamin Mahe, head of high touch trading at AXA Investment Managers, Carla Quintero, fixed income and currency buy-side trader (and previous Rising Star) at HSBC, and Simon Dove, head of liquidity, Instinet. 

If you are a member of the buy-side community and would like to attend the Rising Stars awards presentation, please register here! 

All Rising Stars alumni are also invited to attend the event and meet the newest additions to the prestigious list. 

We look forward to welcoming you all at One Moorgate Place soon!
