Wales will be based out of London, which will see him trading pan-European stocks covering UK long-only and hedge fund clients, The TRADE has learnt.
He brings more than a decade of industry experience spanning both the buy- and sell-side to his position at the firm, and joins from Numis, now part of Deutsche Bank, where he also worked as an equity sales trader for three years.
Previously in his career, he also held similar positions at sell-side firm Winterflood Securities, as well as RBC Global Asset Management.
He began his industry career working as an analyst at Northern Trust in 2011.
