Exane, an investment firm focused on cash equities, derivatives and asset management, is seeking to 鈥渆levate鈥� its US securities lending, Delta One and collateral management business with three new hires.
In a statement on the expansion, Exane said it intends to become 鈥渁 truly full-service derivatives shop鈥� that will also focus on portfolio trading and volatility desks at sell-side institutions, as well as acting as a 鈥渟ignificant asset鈥� for liquidity seeking market makers and asset managers globally.
Amarbir Jawanda and Matt Koren join this week from prime broker Forte 麻豆传媒.
Jawanda spent just under 20 years building equity derivatives businesses at several sell side firms including Credit Lyonnais, HSBC and RBC before joining Forte in 2018.
Meanwhile, Koren spent seven years between Citi and Jefferies developing top-tier Delta One exchange-traded fund swaps and index/financing arbitrage business before joining Forte in 2019.
The third new team member, who has not yet been named, will join in early 2020 from a competitor to Exane, once their non-compete period has ended.
All three will be based in New York.
Prior to these hires, Exane said it primarily focused its attention in New York on a number of niche businesses which were largely reverse conversions and single stock volume.
Exane expanded internationally in order to be as 鈥榗lose to clients as possible鈥�, with Paris and London as its main offices.
