The past week has seen moves in electronic trading and sales as well as senior leadership appointments across EMEA, the US, and APAC. 

The appointment comes as Winterflood looks to bolster its execution offering following the announcement that the firm is set to be acquired by Marex in early 2026.

The move is set to support Marex’s expansion of its UK cash equities business, and is expected to close in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval.  

Incoming individual has departed Winterflood Securities after five and a half years.

Partnership aims to “elevate trading services” for buy-side traders by allowing them to access Winterflood’s trading flow directly via OptimX’s platform.

The job cuts follow a 75% collapse in annual profits at the securities firm as investors shunned trading riskier stocks.

Incoming head of trading had been with Winterflood Securities for almost 20 years.

The past week saw appointments from Credit Suisse and BTIG, along with departures from LSEG, Winterflood Securities and Mizuho.

Incoming equity sales trader has served at Winterflood Securities, RBC Global Asset Management, and Scottish Widows Investment Partnership.

The bank has been adding headcount under the stewardship of chief executive Rich Ricci.
