BTIG, a global financial services firm specializing in institutional trading, investment banking, research and related brokerage services, announced that Andre Suaid has joined the firm as a Managing Director within its International Equities Group in New York.
Suaid will focus on U.S. and Latin American-based institutional clients, navigating developed, emerging and frontier markets throughout Latin America. He joins an established, global team of professionals throughout BTIG’s nine U.S. offices, and affiliate office locations in London, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney. The move comes in response to increasing client demand and heightened focus in the region. Previously, Suaid was Head of Latin America Global Prime Finance and Head of International Equity Trading for the Americas at Deutsche Bank Securities. He was responsible for the execution of Deutsche Bank’s international products for global clients, overseeing the risk for Latin America Cash, Delta One, and Program and Synthetic Trading. Suaid was also part of the leadership team responsible for building out the Latin America Synthetic Platform at Deutsche Bank. Earlier in his career, he spent several years in similar roles at Credit Suisse, First Boston and FC Stone.
“Specializing in Latin American markets throughout his 25-year career, Andre will be instrumental in expanding the firm’s offering for our high-touch clients conducting business in the region,” said Richard Jacklin, Managing Director and Head of International Equities at BTIG. “His extensive network of local relationships, understanding of regional trading nuances and client-first approach will be important as we look to unlock valuable pockets of liquidity for clients.”
