ABN AMRO has hired Steve Potter, head of foreign exchange options trading at Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg, as a fixed-income salesman, with particular emphasis on swaps marketing, in London. Potter joined the firm late last month and reports to Simon Rogers, European head of derivatives marketing in London.
Potter said the move to London was motivated by personal reasons. "I love South Africa, but it's just not a place I'd want to settle down and raise a family," he added.
