Brevan Howard, the Jersey-headquartered global macro hedge fund firm co-founded by Alan Howard, is tapping other hedge funds and banks around the world as it continues to look to add trading talent to its team, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.
Some of the recent bank recruits include Markus Hveem and Chris Almeida, who both joined earlier this month from JPMorgan and Bank of America respectively. Hveem was with JPMorgan for two years in Paris before taking up a PM role in Geneva for Brevan Howard, while Almeida left Bank of America after nearly ten years as an equity derivatives trader in Sydney, Hong Kong, and New York.
Buy-side new recruits meanwhile, include Cyril El-Adam who joined Brevan Howard in London from quant fund Squarepoint Capital, where he spent two years as a rates PM, while Tom Connor joined the firm’s New York office after three years with macro hedge fund Caxton Associates.
