Standard Chartered has appointed Roberto Hoornweg as global head of financial markets.

Hoornweg will begin working at the Singapore office at the end of January 2017.

He most recently worked as a partner at Brevan Howard Asset Management, where he is credited with building the liquid portfolio strategies funds business.

Prior to this, Hoornweg spent three years at UBS Investment Bank in London, where he was co-head of the global fixed income, currencies and commodities division. He also worked at Morgan Stanley for 17 years, where he held various senior roles in fixed income derivatives.

In his new role, he will manage Standard Chartered’s financial markets business globally, including capital markets, commodities, and foreign exchange, rates and credit.

He will report to Simon Cooper, CEO for corporate and institutional banking at Standard Chartered.

Cooper commented: “While we are already leading in a number of financial markets products, we also recognise that clients’ needs are becoming increasingly sophisticated.”

“Roberto Hoornweg’s experience and insight will give us an edge to better meet these client needs, and I look forward to his contribution to grow our business.”
