Barclays Capital is expanding its City equity trading force, with Luke Newman-Taylor, a single-stock trader at UBS, starting at the end of the last month. He joins the slew of hires who include director Joergen Jaehnig, set to come on board in the same group in September from Deutsche Bank (DW, 6/6).
The traders report to Franck Lacour, head of volatility trading, who declined all comment. In a statement at the start of the month, the firm announced it is continuing to invest in its equity-linked business and trading.
