Ticonderoga Securities, an institutional broker dealer, has launched its equity derivatives group led by Vuk Bulajic, an industry veteran with a track record of launching and building equity derivatives businesses.
The new group will further diversify Ticonderoga’s product offerings, which was recently expanded to include institutional equity research.
As head of the equity derivatives group, Bulajic will focus on building out the platform to deliver unique and valuable offerings.
“We are extremely pleased to be able to launch our Equity Derivatives Group with such an experienced and knowledgeable leader as Vuk,” says Shawn McLoughlin, chief executive and co-founder of Ticonderoga Securities. “His success in building teams from the ground up will be valuable as we continue to build out our equity derivatives team over the coming months to deliver services in several sectors important to our clients.”
Bulajic has built equity derivatives businesses for several large banks and Wall Street institutions, and brings 25 years of experience to Ticonderoga. Prior to joining the firm, Bulajic served as head of US equity derivatives at the French bank Natixis for eight years, and in the same position at BNP Paribas from 1997-2002.
He was also global head of equity derivative trading at Lehman Brothers, and helped launch the equity derivatives group for the Americas at Nat West Capital Markets in the early 1990s.
“As Wall Street begins to reinvent itself, nimble firms like Ticonderoga have a great opportunity to innovate in the equity derivatives space,” Bulajic says. “I look forward to growing the group here at Ticonderoga.”
