JonesTrading Institutional Services has appointed Bob Becker as a Managing Director, Head of Capital Introduction based in New York.

In this role, Becker (pictured), will be responsible for building the firm’s Capital Introduction offering – the focus will be on alternative investment managers, institutional investors, and family offices. Becker has held similar senior roles at other firms including Jefferies. He has also previously worked in the outsourced COO/CFO industry and on the buyside including launching and managing his own hedge fund.
 
JonesTrading is a relatively new but rapidly growing player in the Outsourced Trading and Prime Services businesses after recruiting industry veterans Jeff LeVeen (KCG/CITI) and Andrew Volz (Wells Fargo/Merlin Securities) to lead the offerings. 
 
Alan Hill, CEO of JonesTrading, says: “Bob’s appointment is the next key step in our strategic plan to build our leading institutional brokerage platform offerings in prime services and global outsourced trading. Bob’s extensive network and experience in capital introductions adds tremendous value to our existing services. His experience will complement our approach in prime and outsourced trading for our emerging and mid-sized manager client base.”

Becker, Managing Director and Head of Capital Introduction, says: “JonesTrading is the perfect platform for my background and relationships. Given the long history of the firm and the quality and diversity of the current client base we can identify relevant managers and investors efficiently, while adding value to both.”
