New hire returns to the bank after a 10-year stint at DTCC, having previously worked at Lehman Brothers and Kemper Clearing Corp.  

The move follows the launch of the DTCC’s industry-wide testing phase for 24/5 trading in January 2026, and aligns with wider efforts to expand to extended trading models across the US equities market. 

New interfaces aim to give firms clearer visibility into clearing, settlement and post-trade activity. 

The move is expected to support the wider industry as exchanges such as NYSE, Nasdaq and Cboe begin to prepare for a shift to overnight trading models for US equities markets.  

The SEC authorisation covers an initial three-year period, spanning instruments including securities within the Russell 1000 index, ETFs linked to major benchmarks, and US Treasury bills, notes and bonds.

As 24/5 trading continues to gain increasing traction across the industry, firms should be focused on strong risk, margin and liquidity management, according to a recent study from DTCC and EY US.  

The past week saw a newly created US equities position, a head of market making appointment, and the hiring of an industry stalwart into a relationship-focused role. 

Incoming hire spent more than 24 years at Morgan Stanley, holding senior roles including COO and head of strategy for reinvestment, global head of sales strategy.
