DrKW recruits corporate repo and collateral trader

The team, run by Walter Kraushaar, global head of CFCT, covers all financing activities in equities and convertibles, high-grade corporates, high-yield bonds, emerging markets securities, asset-backed, mortgage-backed and all non-government bonds, as well as short-term collateral trading.

Handley spent 15 years at Barclays Capital, most recently as a senior corporate repo trader, covering sterling, non-government repo, covered bonds and the funding requirements of the collateral finance group’s clients in all currencies and a number of asset classes. He has also worked as a proprietary government bond trader and a sterling money-market trader.

“He brings significant experience of the repo market, especially in sterling, and will play a pivotal role in driving forward our credit financing and collateral trading activities in London,” said Kraushaar.
