State Street Global Advisors SPDR has appointed Marcus Miholich as head of capital markets for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC).
Based in London, Miholich will report to Tim Coyne, global head of capital markets for the global SPDR business.
Miholich joined the global SPDR business in October last year. Prior to this, he worked for Haitong Securities, where he was managing director and head of delta one, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and cash equity trading.
Previous roles in his career included senior positions in sales and trading at Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley.
Most recently, Miholich was responsible for State Street ETFs Nordic business.
Commenting on Miholich’s new role, Coyne said: “The European and Asia Pacific trading universes are fragmented and complex. Our capital markets team perform an integral role as subject matter experts on ETF trading.”
“Their knowledge of the ETF ecosystem and relationships with market makers and authorised participants ensure that when clients trade our funds, they can access the liquidity they require at the right price point and with appropriate execution costs.”
He added: “Miholich brings a wealth of ETF and trading experience to our team and we look forward to working with him to strengthen our capability in this critical function.”
