He joins Pictet after almost three years at Findlay Park Partners, where he served at a trader.
Last year, Garcha was named one of The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution, an award which celebrates the most promising up-and-coming buy-side talent in trading.

Garcha began his industry career as an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, a role he held for five years.

London-based Aziz will report to Mark Steer, senior director at Capitolis, in his new role on the trading desk.
Previously in his career, he worked in various different sectors at Deutsche Bank, spanning group management consulting, the capital release unit, treasury liquidity modelling and trading.
Aziz initially joined the sell-side bank in 2016, and most recently served as an agency securities lending trader, a role he held for almost four years.
