The move marks a return to the buy-side firm for new hire, who previously spent five years at State Street Investment Management in various senior ETF-related roles.
New hire joins the investment manager from 1 June, and also previously served at firms including IMC Trading, Exane and Societe Generale.
The move, revealed by The TRADE in October 2025, is set to boost trading efficiency, enabling efficient trade execution and faster pre- and post-trade processing, according to the asset manager.
The move will see the Liechtenstein-based bank integrating xyt’s trading data intelligence platform to add advanced TCA capabilities, automation and customisation to its client offering.
The past week has seen notable trading venue-related moves, as well as across the buy- and sell-side, including a c-suite appointment, and new heads of trading and program trading.
New hire brings more than a decade of buy- and sell-side experience to his new role at the technology-focused investment manager, including trading-based positions at Goldman Sachs.
The past week was one for the books, with a multitude of senior moves across both the buy-and sell-side, spanning fixed income, execution, equities and outsourced trading.
New head of US fixed income has been with the firm for 13 years; departing individual’s next role is currently unconfirmed.
