Head of execution strategy and an electronic sales trader at Liberum are set to up sticks to join Investec, The TRADE can reveal.
Dom Lowres and Matt West
Dom Lowres, head of execution strategy, and Matthew West, electronic sales trader, are set to join the firm in the coming months to set up a new low touch electronic desk.
The new desk is Investec’s first low touch offering based in London and comes off the back of increased client demand, The TRADE understands.
Liberum declined to comment on the moves. Investec had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publishing.
Lowres joins Investec as head of electronic trading and execution strategy after almost 17 years with Liberum. Originally joining the firm in 2007, he also previously served as a pan-European trader and as head of trading.
Previously in his career, he spent 11 years at UBS in a pan-European equity and derivatives trading role, two and a half years at Bermuda-based investment firm Vokoban Corporation as head trader and treasurer, and a year and a half at JP Morgan Chase & Co as a graduate in exchange traded products (ETPs).
Alongside him, Matthew West joins Investec as a global electronic sales trader. He originally joined Liberum eight months ago from Numis Securities – now Deutsche Numis, following its acquisition by the bank last year.
Previously in his career, he spent four and a half years at Canaccord Genuity – Global Capital Markets as a vice president and electronic sales trader, a year and a half at broker-dealer ConvergEx Group in an equity sales and trading role and a year and a half at BNP Paribas Securities Services in a relationship management and sales role.
