Equities

New hire brings almost 20 years of sell-side expertise and returns to Citi after two decades.  

The bank adds two hires to its cash equities business in Tokyo, re-establishing an on-the-ground high-touch execution capability in the market. 

Individual will continue as head of fixed income EMEA at the bank; previous roles include senior positions at RBC Capital Markets and Rothschild & Co.

As Europe is increasingly pushed to react to the rise of 24/5 trading, experts speaking at a recent Bloomberg conference made clear that the question is no longer whether this shift will take place, but rather what steps need to be taken to safeguard market participants.  

The key benefits of the integration include on-platform liquidity spanning large-in-scale through to multiple days' volume, executed electronically and confidentially. 

Individual will also serve as global co-head of equity QIS trading and joins after more than two decades at Societe Generale, where he served across various senior positions.  

The new offering will provide clients with a single counterparty relationship and cross-margining exposure capabilities across US-listed equities, indices and digital assets through a 24/7 model.  

The French bank joins a consortium of global banks investing in the post-trade infrastructure provider. 

Appointment brings more than three decades of experience across sales trading, execution and buy-side trading, The TRADE understands. 

New hire joins after nearly three years at HSBC where he most recently served as head of cash equity trading EMEA.
