Through the move, GF Securities HK will be able to execute trades with off-shore buy-side firms and connect with international liquidity pools and trading venues.  

Through the Trumid Smart Voice offering, users will be able to “move quickly from conversation to execution, with less manual effort and lower risk of human error,” Trumid chief product officer and global head of sales tells The TRADE.  

The offering will support dealers providing pricing on dealer-to-client (D2C) venues, allowing them to quickly and efficiently automate their credit trading; TransFICC clients include Citi, NatWest, NAB, Santander and Wells Fargo. 

"This appointment reflects the firm’s continued commitment to internal mobility and fostering career development across the business," Ninety One global head of trading tells The TRADE. 

The new offering – Automation 2.0 – is expected to support institutional desks as markets and trading workflows increasingly modernise and become more automated.  

New hire is set to support the bank’s buildout of its credit trading offering in this region; has also previously served at firms including BNP Paribas and Goldman Sachs.  

Boston-based hire joins after a four-year tenure at Victory Capital; he has also previously served at Amundi US. 

As part of the launch, the firm has brought in two ex-Argentex Group hires to lead dealing and portfolio solutions on the desk; move comes amid “greater complexity around foreign exchange and interest rate risk throughout the investment lifecycle,” Marex tells The TRADE. 

New hire will lead core and semi-core European government bond trading in his role, and previously spent 21 years at HSBC.
