JPMorgan Worldwide Securities Services has recruited Mark Tidy to its Securities Lending sales team for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Tidy – who previously held senior positions in securities lending at Nomura and, most recently, Deutsche Bank – joins as vice president, based in London.
Tidy is the third addition to JP Morgan’s securities lending sales and client management team in the last three months. In July, Gavin Callan joined from Citibank and Michael Fox joined from Brown Brothers Harriman.
Morgan says the expansion of the securities lending group reflects the increased complexity and growth of the business.
“There is an increasing appetite from our clients and prospects to utilise our wide range of securities lending products,” explains David Mitchell, head of client management and sales, Securities Lending and Market Products, EMEA, at JP Morgan in London. “Institutions are more willing than ever to embrace new lending ideas and we continue to position ourselves to create and respond to opportunities across the full range of custody-linked and non-custody driven securities lending solutions. Having the necessary expertise and structure is the cornerstone of this strategy.”
