CIBC Mellon announced today that Chris Tigert and Paul Bertrand have joined CIBC Mellon Global Securities Lending in the positions of fixed-income securities lending trader and fixed-income securities lending project consultant, respectively.
Tigert joins CIBC Mellon from Royal Trust, where he spent the last two and half years as a fixed-income trader. In his new role, Tigert will be involved in strategic planning and will support the expansion of CIBC Mellon’s fixed-income securities lending efforts.
Bertrand also joins CIBC Mellon from Royal Trust, where he spent the last four years as a fixed-income trader. As project consultant, Bertrand has taken on a special interim assignment working on several of CIBC Mellon’s existing fixed-income securities lending mandates.
Tigert and Bertrand will work with Ken Latta, CIBC Mellon’s senior fixed-income securities lending trader, as part of a team focused on expanding the business. Leading this group is Rob Chiuch, CIBC Mellon’s head of equities and fixed-income trading.
“Chris and Paul offer a wealth of fixed-income lending experience.” Chiuch said. “Bringing them on board reflects our dedication to this business. Their qualifications and knowledge will be strong assets in shaping and advancing CIBC Mellon’s fixed-income strategy as part of our overall securities lending objectives.”
