Stifel managing director joins Makor Group as a global multi-asset sales trader

New hire will be based out of Dubai, and has also previously served in trading-related and senior positions at firms including Mirabaud Group, HSBC and Natixis.  

International brokerage and investment bank Makor Group has appointed Colin Robb as a global multi-asset sales trader, based in Dubai.  

Robb’s addition to the firm is set to support the expansion of Makor Group’s footprint across global markets.   

Robb brings more than two decades of sell-side experience to his new role, which will see him focusing on global multi-asset sales trading spanning equities, derivatives, fixed income, FX and crypto.  

He confirmed his new role in an announcement on social media.  

Most recently, he spent four years at Stifel, working as a managing director covering global one touch and electronic sales trading.  

Robb’s appointment follows news confirmed in December 2025 that Stifel was shuttering its UK-based equities trading business, to shift its focus towards becoming an advisory-led business in Europe, with capital raising capabilities for mid-market issuers.  

The firm confirmed at the time that the exit was likely to coincide with potential job cuts.  

The story was initially revealed by The TRADE in April 2025.   

Prior to this, Robb also served as a global one touch equity sales trader at Mirabaud Group for more than four years.  

Previously in his career, he has held various senior positions, including as a director in EMEA sales trading at HSBC, and before this, as head of US and UK sales trading at Natixis.  

Prior to this, he also served at firms spanning JP Morgan, Robert Fleming and Citi.  

Makor Group had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
