Daiwa Securities SMBC (Daiwa), the leading Japanese investment bank, is continuing to build up its expanding global derivatives team, following the appointment of Dominique Blanchard as Global Head of Derivatives earlier this year.
Christophe Tezier, previously Global Head of FID Quants at Bear Stearns, has joined as Global Head of Quantitative Research.
Charles Day has joined as Global Head of Equity Finance, to build and manage teams in London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Charles was formerly European Head of Synthetic Equity at Lehman, and was previously Head of International Securities Lending at Merrill Lynch, and Asian Regional Head of Securities Lending for Nomura.
Joining the Derivatives Infrastructure team is Andrew Wallhead from Mitsubishi UFJ Securities and Duncan Stuart-Reid from Citibank.
Over the next few weeks, Murielle Maman (formerly at Merrill Lynch and CEO at Lyxor Asset Management) will join to take responsibility for product structuring & wrapping. Sangjoon Kim will also arrive at Daiwa to take up the position of Head of Equity Derivatives Trading. He will continue to be based in Japan, where he was previously Head of Japan Equity Exotics and Hybrids for JP Morgan Securities. Massimo Giranzani also joins Daiwa this week as Head of Quantitative Research for Equity Derivatives.
Finally, as a result of the expanding Derivatives business, Daiwa has recruited Francois-Xavier Faure to head up its Risk Management Division in London. Francois was previously Head of European Fixed Income Market Risk for Lehman Brothers.
Eishu Kosuge, CEO of Daiwa Securities SMBC Europe, commented, “We are very pleased to welcome these new additions to our rapidly expanding team. The Derivatives project is key for us as we broaden our global reach and product range and we consider it vital that we attract staff of the highest quality and experience. Their knowledge will be invaluable and we look forward to working with them.”
