The past week has seen a spate of moves across the sell-side, including a new global head of equities hire, as well as additions to outsourced and equity sales trading desks.  

New hire joins after almost seven years at the investment manager, and is set to support Kepler Cheuvreux’s UK client offering, The TRADE understands.  

The integration is set to boost market visibility and transparency for BCC clients looking to operate in the country’s FX market.  

Firms say ETFs can no longer be treated as “just another fund wrapper” as active products, retail flows and synthetic structures reshape the market.

New hire had initially spent almost three years at the firm, and rejoins after a four-year tenure at Clear Street.  

The first transaction of the expanded offering has been completed between HESTA and ANZ, with the upgrade aiming to provide clients with a new way to manage risk.  

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.

Addition brings previous equity sales trading experience to the role; previously spent five years at asset manager Polar Capital.  

The new offering will allow clients using State Street’s FX Connect to carry out in-flight TCA and algorithmic controls, to enhance visibility for execution quality and oversight.
